This post inspired to write this.
Felt like sharing because it's so simple, yet so effective.
When you try to soft close and get a brief answer, this is my go to text:
"Ohh, I see...you seem to be very busy these next few days"
This is so sneaky that she won't help but try to justify herself, which is obviously a good thing because it creates positive compliance.
Recent e.g.:
(After 10 days of no contact from my part, I sent her a text):
Me: Afternoon
Geez, sorry about my delay, was traveling on vacation e arrived only today
Was not even checking my phone
Her: Afternoon
I see
Me: It was my nephew's bd, he and his sister are on a really fun kid's phase
How is your pre-holiday week?
Her: Yeah, I saw you posted something with them (she has my ig)
Week is little bit hushed
Me: Oh I see..I will get back to work tomorrow, will skip friday cause of the holiday and prob work saturday again
A little bit of a weird schedule, but that is what I had to do
But who knows, if our schedule allows, maybe we can do something fun on friday
Her: I can't
(waited a day, then answered)
Me: Morning
Ohh, I see...you seem to be very busy these next few days
Her: Morning
I am...exam week
So sorry![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And now we are talking again on even terms.
