Barely saw her and she asks me what my ascendant sign is...

[Higher]

Gents,

I met this girl back in November. I cold approached her and we went for a coffee. We traded numbers. We met again end of Jan (we couldn't meet earlier), and we went for a walk and another coffee. Never kissed. Overall facetime: 3.5h.

Now, I realize I give off massive boyfriend vibes, but I'm not looking for anything specific and I like meeting people and explore different connections (which I told her word-by-word). In line with my chosen "slow game / bait game" strategy (probably a bad choice and/or poorly implemented), texts have been about 70% "pings" ("good morning beauty :sun:") and 30% flirting. Or maybe 60-40. Never pushed for a meet, she was the one hinting at it. From her texts, I'd say she'd love a cup of D, but she'd also love to monkey-branch away from her current BF.

Today this girl asked me what my "ascendant sign" is (like, this 2nd zodiac sign or whatever it's called). I'm like "don't tell me you read the horoscope " and she's like "no! but i believe in astral compatibility, there's some truth there. tell me when you were born, what time and where".

It's not the first time I get this question, so when I saw this text my first reaction was like "well, she's curious and open and it's not like she's gonna use this info against me, so why not telling her?" But then I thought about you guys, and my question for you is: what would you text her? Would you straight away ignore her text? Would you comply?

Ciao!

"I need your descendant to come help my ascendant, then maybe I'll give you those details" Off the top of my head, could be trash lol

The question sounds like part of a phishing scam.

There's a lot of strange stuff here. But what are your goals with her? Are you even interested in sex with her?

Whatever you're interested in her about, it probably at least starts with sex. So go do that.

It’s bullshit.

Now, nice part is that if your bullshitting powers are great, you can use this bullshit attempt to out bullshit her.

I use these kind of things as opportunities to outframe.

Would you comply?

Yes... Girls want to know as much as possible about you.

To a lot of them horoscope is a nice way of classifying people (sort of a menmonic). It doesn't matter if astrology makes any sense, all that matters it that it makes sense to women.
If you wanna do better with them, I would suggest learning some basic astrology (I recommend this Co-Star app... made me have things to talk about with my ex, at least lol)

"I need your descendant to come help my ascendant, then maybe I'll give you those details" Off the top of my head, could be trash lol

Not a bad one, if you don't really know jack about astrology, you can just be humble and say "Sorry, I don't really know much about signs and that stuff. Can you teach me some?". Girls like teaching as well. Later you can repaying her with something fun...

Thanks all for the valuable inputs!

This time I ended up playfully dodging the question. If she persists I'll just comply.

Cheers,

Guess I'm late to this thread, but:

Today this girl asked me what my "ascendant sign" is (like, this 2nd zodiac sign or whatever it's called). I'm like "don't tell me you read the horoscope " and she's like "no! but i believe in astral compatibility, there's some truth there. tell me when you were born, what time and where".

This kind of thing is great for making it fun and getting compliance out of girls.

Just look it up and give it to her then tell her to tell you what it means. Like so:

HER: What's your ascendant sign?​

​

YOU: Is that like a gang sign or something?​

​

HER: No haha. It's your second sign in the Zodiac. It's important for astral compatibility. Tell me when you were born, what time, and where.​

​

YOU: OMG, now I'm scared you're going to come back and say it says we have to get married All right, here's my info: [DETAILS]. Give me the bad news!​

​

HER: blah blah blah here's what it means. We're not compatible.​

​

YOU: I guess we can never meet each other ever again. It's astral fate.​

​

HER: Well no haha we can still blah blah qualifying​

You make her explain what it is to you, then joke around that she is trying to marry you or something (if a girl is trying to check your compatibility, she is obviously fairly into you), then tell her to "tell you what it all means" or "tell me my future" or whatever. Then joke around about the conclusion ("Looks like we are getting married I guess. What do the stars say about when we need to do that? Next Wednesday?").

Any time girls are trying to get you to do some zany personality or compatibility thing, you can do the same little routine. Always goes the same: first test her on what it is and make her qualify it. Then: "All right, here are my details. Tell me what it means." Then whatever she says, act like you're going to take it super seriously: "So it seems we have to blah blah (extreme version of what she says)."
