You need to cut contact, i gave u already couple of suggestions...i linked u to a break up post with tons of info, links and videos..it. is a painful process, you feel like shit, hopeless etc... most members found community after break ups...Ok so ya frustrated lack of control on itis what do u suggest I do to regain control
Deff deleted some numbers just for being mad and regretted it later, sometimes it's important though to move on, focus your energies elsewhere... Can be a bit of a drag to see this contact of this girl you wanted but didn't quite got everytime you're trying to message someone.If #2, don't block -- just delete, if you really need it for psychological purposes. Then you won't see her name in your phone / contacts list anymore, at all.
he calls block cutting contact, his terminology is off....Deff deleted some numbers just for being mad and regretted it later, sometimes it's important though to move on, focus your energies elsewhere... Can be a bit of a drag to see this contact of this girl you wanted but didn't quite got everytime you're trying to message someone.
But yeah, why would you block? Unless the girl is legit nuts and it's spamming you with messages or something lol
I actually meant block on the phone initially however that would have been a precursor to the hard next! Thanks for the advice the strong hard truth helped me decide what the problems are and how to deal with themIronically when you are not one itising you can use block/unblock as machiavellian push pull. Punish/reward but this guy is not there yet. We also need to be less harsh.. but short and concise. I swear I dislike when these guys write super verbose questions when usually the problem is clear (too invested)
the ball-in-her-court text may come across less butthurt as u say but a girl who is experienced enough sees through it.
I'm all for deleting the no and forget all about it.Hell,I can pass her if I meet her.With a ball-in-her-court text you still have her in mind and u may seek her out months later.Who's chasing?Most girls are texting most dudes to cherry pick one who ball-in-her-court-ed her.Lol.
miker said:Yes dated lots of sex relationship commitment all that stuff……we stopped cuz she had all this shit coming up when she got back from Europe she has no time with her job and now nightschool to do anything but she also avoided meeting up because she liked me at her reasoning was it would make it harder for her to keep away……yes I have complete lack of control man and this seems to be msg downfall with everyone even if the sex is crazy I dono how to keep control and advice on that I was trying to figure out how to ask that…..yup neediness no sex her in control just a shit situatiom
We dated and have been separated for a couple months but text every day and it’s like a relationship without the sex …she’s not out banging other dudes or anything like that but she doesn’t want to meet up (when she’s sober) she calls late nights when she’s drunk but we never got to meet up to release all the tension and things are more and more volatile so at what point do u block her and move on as things are going downhill or how to you turn things around when I hinges are messy
If #1, simple solution: every time she messages you, ask her out. She'll either stop messaging you, or come out.
They always are hehe, it's the cold hard truth, but it's also beautiful once you realise you can be this dude, for many girls.I have been there, and the truth is, she is almost definitely out banging other dudes...
@Chad Tyrone,
Not sure what "sees through it" means... unless you are trying to use the text some way it is not designed?
The right way to use ball-in-her-court is when you have genuinely persisted past the point of caring to persist any further with the girl.
All the message says, in a more eloquent way, is "I'm doing persisting. Hit me up if you decide you want to take this more seriously." Ball in her court.
If, on the other hand, you are being really needy, and are going to ball-in-her-court her, then text her again a week later yourself without her texting first, then yeah, it was just a BS text you sent and she may "see through" that.
Right, that's it... you are using this text wrong.
If you're going to text her again without her texting you to meet up though... then you should not be sending the ball-in-her-court text. Otherwise you are sabotaging your own frame.
If you're not at the point where you can quit texting a girl and not think about her ever again because you've got 5-10 other girls in your phone (or on your cock), you may want to shelve the BIHC text until you're further along.
@miker,
So in other words she is #1 from here:
That's your solution right there, assuming that meeting her to shag her again is the object.
Also, "she's not out banging other dudes but she is out getting wasted and not having sex with me"... I have been there, and the truth is, she is almost definitely out banging other dudes... she just hasn't found a dude she is ready to fully commit to to the point where she doesn't feel the need to keep you around as a backup plan any longer.

U may be right but she barely has gone out only to a a couple functions with ppl in her circle which she has no interest in and the other nights she went to some concerts then got dragged to certain bars and would text me to see where I’m at and I wouldn’t respond and then she’d call and whatev …I knew where she was cuz we spoke all day about shit…maybe she is down to fuck another due maybe but I’m almost certain that isn’t the case… the other guys pointed out my problem I’m too highly invested it’s making me needy and this has transpired throughout the relationship when she was initially the needy and suffocating one it’s almost as if being in this relationship has made me more like her …kinda an interesting transformation I’d say as I have been aware of it and see it transpire…time to tie my shoes lift up my socks and work on seduction again.@Chad Tyrone,

I really focus on nuance when reading your posts.I don't think I have a problem with texting.What I really meant with "seeing through it "was she may see that u wanna prompt a text out of her that is if she is not replying.I mean we learn all this to come across more high value...keeping on persisting after some point makes you lose that.Right, that's it... you are using this text wrong.
Haha...tryna save face.See it.he calls block cutting contact, his terminology is off....
My two cents: are you trying to feed your ego or get laid?I can't imagine the tiresome process that goes into learning all this to be demeaned or lessened by a chick playing games .Easy .Yes or No?No excuses or pushing it to an unknown Future.No bitch is running a company big enough to lack time to get back to you .Most are basic.It's all a game.See it... and play it better by not falling for it.

I mean we learn all this to come across more high value...keeping on persisting after some point makes you lose that.
I have tried it and pretty rare for a lead to text me back .But,when I deleted the no, forgotten all about her,I started seeing pings.Maybe,she noticed I withdrew my attention and sought after me.Closed a lead that I deleted actually.
I don't want to relinquish my control.That's it.A ball-in-her-court text makes me feel that way (giving power to her). Again ,I'm talking of leads not replying back.
But don't u ever feel a sense of loss of control when u keep texting and texting and texting a chick that won't come out,having paid all your dues fundamentally and game-wise .Don't you?
A chick who wants you will always make it easier for you.All the game I learned is to make things easier for her,why would she want to make it harder for me,Why?I'm not bitter and I ain't knocking you here.
I would say the game from you guys is pretty sic . Working for bitches wanting you.Myself,I'm yet unable to find a guy doing what we do.A bitch with an eye for greatness will have you,a bitch without will see you like the others.I really appreciate a gal seeing the difference in me,most guys texting game is terrific.Pathetic
If she doesn't see how easier I'm making it for her or the difference in me from the other losers ...I'm out.I ain't joining the herd.Kinda playing the waiting game.This is me giving her a chance without being a big deal.
Hope this sheds more light

persisting, but the door's still open if you decide you want to get serious."
I think you're worried she is going to think, "Oh, he said he wants to see me... once again! He must be low value."
Use it right and instead it goes like this:
- Day 1: she gets the text: "Hmm, I wonder if he's just playing around. Give it a week and he'll be texting me again."
- Day 7: "Whew, that was a busy week. Hey, Chad hasn't texted yet. He's really waiting, isn't he?"
- Day 14: "Oh yeah, remember that guy, Chad? He never texted again, did he? He must have genuinely meant he wasn't going to chase me around anymore. Wow, he must be talking to other girls to just drop off like that."
- Day 21: "It's really bugging me that Chad said he was going to drop off and then just literally dropped off. I should see what he's up to. Maybe he's still around." [sends text]
Yeah, that's interesting.
Maybe you are using the BIHC text too late. Persist, persist, persist... now you have persisted too many times. Then BIHC, and it's overkill. So you do better just going radio silent altogether.
I've never had much luck with simply not texting women. They very rarely get back to me that way. BIHC has a pretty consistent ~50% efficacy rate though.
Could be you are doing something different in your approach with women. Women seem to always be waiting for me to tell them what to do, and if I don't, they just don't do anything. I must be spoiling these girls!
Think about that for a moment: you are saying: "If I tell a woman to do something, that is me relinquishing control. However, if I simply go radio silent on her, I remain in control."
My guess is what you are after is not actually control (because you have less of it going radio silent than you do giving women specific instructions to follow).
What it sounds like you are really after is the option to contact her again at any time.
When I used to try to do that, I did.
With ball-in-her-court you should never get that feeling. As soon as it reaches the point where you go, "I am wasting my time with this chick," she gets a BIHC text, at which point she can text back or not; you're over it.
She might not be deleted in your phone, but she's deleted in your mind...
If you are meeting enough girls, you should just be opening up your messages, there's your 10 most recent messages, or whatever; unresponsive chick is cleared outta there in a few days or a week max; you don't even see her unless you go scrolling through messages or trawling your contacts list... but why would you do that... nostalgia? Old time's sake? If you're really that hard up for someone to talk to, go approach a few new girls.
Yeah, if she's 8 or 9 or 10 on the interest scale, she will.
If she's just lukewarm she won't. If she's on the fence, she definitely won't.
You need to be able to tell those girls what to do, then busy yourself elsewhere while they decide if they're going to do it or not.
This is how every normal guy thinks, amigo.
First it's that "I've gotta keep pinging her until I get her!" and then when it doesn't work it's "Well screw that chick, she doesn't see my value, I'm out."
This is not the mindset of a pro. The veteran does not take any of this personal. He is not worried about girls "seeing his value" and auto-rejecting ones who don't seem to. Nor is he chasing and hoping early on.
He has a process he goes through, where he persists a certain number of times, gauges her response, and if she isn't responding he runs through his contingencies, until he reaches whatever his last shot is (in the case of my texting process, it's the BIHC text), and then he's done.
He isn't emotional about it. He wasn't excited thinking he'd found an amazing girl when he stated texting her, because you never really know where her head is at or what else is going on in her life no matter how good the initial connection is, nor is he frustrated thinking she doesn't see his value when he can't get her out at first, because, again, you never really know where her head is at or what else is going on in her life.
If she pops back up after N weeks, he doesn't say to himself, "Well, too bad for her, she didn't see my value, she lost her chance!" Instead he says, "Hmm, I wonder what changed in her life that she's available and interested now."
You just need to run through enough girls and do enough of this stuff that it stops being personal to you and just becomes a process, and the stuff you feel when you're newer and you're taking rejections personally cools off. As soon as you stop taking rejections personal, a shift occurs where all these things that were unrecoverable rejections when you were younger become mild speed bumps now, and you start getting a lot of these girls you would not have gotten only a few years earlier.

@Chad Tyrone,
Correct. That's the entire point of the text, to prompt a reply out of her
Whether 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months... you want her to reply back with when she is free so you can set up a date.
It's why you tell her to tell you when she is free so you can set up a date.
That is also the point of the text. "I'm done persisting, but the door's still open if you decide you want to get serious."

Ok let's set things straight.For me some years back I watched a video by Hector ...the one on throwing the ball in her court and it really resonated with me.I had used it lots of times none worked.And it wasn't some shit to do with I'm on my phone waiting for that bitch to reply back just cause I sent her some bhic text.I was off meeting other ladies and as u say I wasn't going through my texts saying it's been ten days now she hasn't replied back.I had leads that wanted me and I had completely forgotten about uninterested leads.@Chad Tyrone,

Ye I feel you, but you don't know if she's really playing games or if she legit has a bunch of problems she can't get over to go and meet you. People are complicated. All you see on your screen, is your interaction with her, but she's got a whole life, not only the other guys trying their luck with her, but her job/school, her family, her other duties or whatever.A bitch seeing you are persisting and is interested will show up ime.A bitch seeing you are persisting and doesn't reply after the bhic text ,yet it's meant to prompt a text out of her,is probably playing some kindergarten games.Bet this is more nuanced , brother.

It's fine to delete a girls number and move on if that's what you wanna do, but I think you're being maybe a bit too rigid on how you play the game. If you're unexperienced and just want to get a general point of view with women and some (or a lot) of lays quickly, that's totally fine, and maybe even the best approach. But later down the line, if you really wanna get with some specific women, you're going to be a bit more flexible, willing to have more patience, to put a bit more effort in some interactions. I wrote a post on a journal as an answer, but I think it explains what I'm talking about better, and it's something I've been thinking about lately and it's been showing some potential for me, at least: being more flexible

I wrote a post on a journal as an answer, but I think it explains what I'm talking about better, and it's something I've been thinking about lately and it's been showing some potential for me, at least: being more flexible.
