we wrote each other every day for close to a month then i ask for her phone number and she gave it to me no problem there, so i text her on a Friday and we text each other for a while ...
if somebody has an advice i`m all ears, ladies what you think?
My advice? Next time....
(1) Don't e-mail so long. If a guy doesn't offer me his phone number or ask for mine by the third or fourth email (if not sooner), I think he just wants to be penpals.
(2) When a woman gives you her phone number... Call her! First communication should not be a text, but a call. That was the phone's originally intended purpose. Later texts can supplement calls, but NOT replace them. (The only exception to this would be if you suspect she may be too busy to talk, send a text and ask if now is a good time to talk. If it is, call immediately!)
(3) Once you talk to her on the phone, ask for the first meet/date as soon as possible. There is little to be gained by dragging it out. To do so puts you at risk of being viewed as uninterested or not confident. And as the others said: Ask to meet at a specific time and place, not just "do you want to go out sometime?"
You come across someone that is a little unsure about yourself. Never ever look to make all the moves. You must always allow the person to meet you half way. Just remember too much of one thing is never good. Seems like you've exhausted the conversation part before you even got the chance to hang out. Bottom line, sometimes you have to be willing to lose what you really want. Trust me.
"So, at what point did you decide I was only going to be a one-date kind of guy?"
