"your pretty cute" Never compliment?

[BTank]

Well I am having a hard time on WHEN to compliment a woman. I know its only after you have a reason to do it, after her qualifying.
Short story..

Havent talked to this chick in ages, hb9 msgs me out of the blue after I dhvd and ignored her over the weekend (left a msg saying I was going out with a bunch of friends she should come with but only if she gets back with me in the next 30 minutes because im busy, she text me back too late so I ignored her the whole weekend)

Anyway LoooOooong ass convo on the phone 2.5 hours, used false time constraints to get off the phone was literally begging for me to keep talking with her, felt there was a great amount of comfort, we mainly talked about her work.
She asked if a friend of mine knew what she looked like because she did not want to run into him (she quit but she used to work at this place and now my friend does to..)
Decided to compliment and release so i gave a compliment and kind of negged her by saying it could be anyone..
"I told him your about 5 2 and pretty cute but that could be anybody so no he has no idea really"

Response..
Silence no more texts or replies to my goodnight texts (2),and we might just be done talking again.
What exactly happened? Should you just never tell a chick shes attractive?
I was just trying to show some balls and I think it might have backfired, considering I complimented her and she ignores it...

No idea buddy, but delete the number, and don't text her again.

Agreed.

OK it sounds like you have the same natural tendencies as I do: you're the 2.5 hour conversation guy, the kind of flirty and sweet guy that maybe lacks a little edge. I'm at this stage of development too, so I'll give you the advice I'm giving myself and you can do what you will with it: first of all, don't talk to a random girl on the phone for 2.5 hours unless you really want to. Pretend she's not a hot girl you're trying to get to like you, pretend she's a kind of cool guy you know. If you're in this mindset over the phone, you'll only stay on the phone as long as you're interested in the conversation, and my guess is listening to her bitch about work wasn't really that interesting, was it? Didn't think so.

Next when you try to get off the phone and she whines for you to stay on, only give in if she gives you some kind of genuine incentive. If she whines and you cave immediately and listen to her bitch for another hour, all you're conveying is neediness and submissiveness. Can you say LBFJ?

On good night texts: only do them if they're kind of funny or you have a reason to do them (the reason can be made up, but it has to be there). Just texting "good night sweetie" to a girl you barely know is creepy. Also, don't ever let yourself become predicable by texting her virtually the same thing the same time of night two nights in a row.

As to the masked compliment, I'm not sure. It seems innocuous enough to me, but recently I've done the same thing and maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems to have gotten me bad responses. My theory is that the girl doesn't think of you as a potential sexual partner yet, and when you do a compliment like that, even if it's masked, they pick up on that and say to themselves "oh shit this guy's trying to get me." Maybe this style of compliment is oh-so-subtle to a fault because unless the girl's oblivious she'll know what you're doing and she'll just get unattracted because you had to go about complimenting her in such a pussy way.

Maybe a compliment like that would work better if you said it, let her say something (which will be unrelated to the compliment) and then teasingly called her on supposedly not noticing/thanking you for the compliment. Genre: "Hey I just gave you a compliment, aren't you gonna say thank you?" I just pulled that out of my ass though, that might just make it worse.

"Well I told my friend you're a really short, super-chubby girl with short boy-like hair, so I'm pretty sure he'll have a rough time finding you..."

Too late to tell her that shit now. lol

Yeah man, that is a LONG time!

Think about it ---> You're a high value male. That means you have plenty of friends, plenty of girls to speak to, plenty of places to go, and a lot of mportant things to do.

How is she going to see that if you spend that much time on the phone with her?

I wonder if the phrase "that could be anybody" turned her off.. might have come across as a passive disqualifier. Honestly doesnt seem like it would have made a strong impression either way, though. Tough one.

You guys really need to look into the book THE ART OF SEDUCTION theres allot of genuine material that explains exactly how to turn that 2.5 hour time period with her into something shell crave. This book has a powerful effect on the way you perceive humanity. If your both at the level you say you are then this book could definitely take you a foot higher. just check it out on amazon.

I agree with Vinny, the art of seduction is a pretty awesome book. Just make sure you read in in conjunction with standard pick up material, because the book makes its points with very old stories, the specifics of which have very little to do with anybody's daily life anymore. That being said though, the book is great at illuminating general concepts of dealing with people in a way that pick-up material or persuasion manuals can't quite match.
