Follow up calls and texts.. could use some advice

[Jim Morrison]

I am not a newbie and have been doing pretty well in the game. However, I seem to have identified a nagging problem I could really use some advice on....

I am never sure how soon and often to follow up with a target via text or phone or asking for the next date. I have sometimes gotten blown out where i know part of the problem was I came across too needy or came across too strong.

For example last night i met a gal in person who I had met from facebook. Really cute and we vibed in person well. We had a drink..then bounced across street to where they had salsa dancing. She taught me a little and I did palmreading, kino escalation etc.

I then walked her to a car where we had some good kissing before she split..It was a really good and fun date...

But now I find myself really unsure on how soon to follow up..should I call today? wait a few days? send a funny text..send something saying "hey had a good time"..should i wait a few days and call only to make a second date??? should I just call to tell a funny story or DHV??

this area of where and when to follow up really seems to be a sticking point for me and could use any thoughts or ideas...

If the date went well call her when you want to. Assume comfort and act in the same way as calling a guy friend - you call them when you want to.

Thanks LittlbigD for letting me hear my own (supposedly intelligent) situation analysis from a more experienced mouth!

Now it's just up to me to set up some nice occasion to continue on Qualification (and Comfort and Kino) which I think we have been reaching. I'm just having a hard time coming up with a "good enough" idea (I know, I know...). The girl seems disturbingly similar to Lisa from The Game -- the wit and opinions are definitely there, although she seems to have a tad more problems with her self-image. Luckily my own feelings are rather mellow at the moment, so the buddification frame comes pretty easily.

It's just that if more days should pass, I should probably text at least something (statemental... but how to bait enough? *roll*) -- not any AFC bullshit, obviously. Just gotta try and view it first from the "is this st a friend would send to another" angle, I guess.

Come Monday, with more approaching practice as well...
