Making them jump through hoops.
[I]A girl who's attracted to you will move mountains to be with you.[/I]
I've read this common bit of wisdom on here countless times. I've even experienced it firsthand. Lately with a few girls I've been trying to game I've been hitting this roadblock in which I feel I'm suffering from either lack of attraction, or I'm making them jump through too many hoops, with this "move mountains" mantra in mind. Yes, a girl will move mountains to be with you, but at some point it's the guy who has to take the initiative and lead, right?
As an example, let me set up a recent scenario with a girl I met out at a bar, recently. I wish I still had the text messages from these interactions, but unfortunately they were deleted. Nevertheless, I'll try to piece it together as best I can.
Day 1: we were texting back and forth, I asked what she was up to that night. She told me she didn't know and might be going to [bar x], and asked me what I was up to. I told her about my awesome plans with friends and told her she could come along. She said it sounded cool, but I don't remember if she ever specifically committed to meeting up with me.
We were all supposed to meet up at a friend's place to pre-game and then go to this karaoke place that was conveniently located near her place. The problem was, my friends all decided not to go to karaoke, and that we would all go to a different bar. I told her the plans had changed, and suddenly, she seemed to lose interest, and said she was home having drinks with friends and would probably end up at [bar x] the bar she originally considered going to before.
I told her that I was with friends too, and none of them were feeling [bar x], and neither was I. She wrote back "ok"
As it turns out, we went to some random party instead that night. I had my phone on silent. When I got home I noticed she had texted me a few hours later, asking me what did I end up doing. I don't reply
Day 2: The next day, she texts to say a mutual female friend of ours is in town, and we should hang out. I wait an hour to reply. I tell her I'm working overtime and would want to hang out after work. She says okay, she's just at home drinking with this girl. After work, I text her, and she invites me over. I ask her for her address and suddenly there is a lag in the response time. She gives me the address, but says she is drunk, tired and about to pass out. I write, "Aw, that's no fun. Another time, then." She replies with "just come."
By this time, it's really late at night, and I had to be up early in the morning. I decline the invitation.
Day 3: She texts to apologize for the night before. I set up a meet up for the next night. She agrees.
Day 4: I contact her, she says she's at her parents house and will call IF she gets out soon. She never calls. I next her.
Based on what I've written, did I make this girl jump through too many hoops, or was there just not enough attraction? I feel like I've had similar problems with a couple girls lately.
