The hardest thing I have with pickup/dating/etc is the fine line between being needy enough to show you care and appearing non-needy enough to seem attractive.
I feel women want a bold man who speaks his mind and is a boss. But I've also learned we can't be too direct because it can appear needy (I believe this is what you guys call a White Knight). So how do i find a the perfect spot?
Here's my situation:
I don't want to appear to have "oneitis", but I met this super hot chick at a bar. She was with her hot friend and my game wasn't the best (I am new to all of this). but I chatted her up (it was very loud). After some back and forth of us splitting apart (She went outside, get drinks, plus I was working another girl at the same time). But finally, I got her digits at the end. It was a bit tough for me since I am not super smooth, but she put her first name and last name in the phone and I found that to be a good sign.
(Sidenote: Looks wise she wasn't out of my league and she was kind of an artist chic which sort of meets my vibe, so I feel we were a fair match)
The next day, I ended up texting her and she wrote back.
I didn't really feel like doing a lot of back and forth witty bullshit. I also didn't want to be a wimp and kiss her ass.
Her texting back to me was rather sparse, but I also didn't flood her with a ton of texts. I played it pretty cool.
But I finally said I don't get many numbers and that I was out of town (showing I have a life), and found her attractive but would like to get to know her (saying i thought she was hot but was wondering if she had more to her beyond her looks). (Note: these were true genuine statements, I am not into lying or anything like that)
She wrote back and said she was out of town until Thurs but maybe this upcoming weekend, with a question mark. I then said I'd enjoy that, and that I'd be in touch.
Thursday (today) came around and I asked if she was home yet. But I have heard no response.
(At one point I also thought maybe calling her would be a boss move, but in a way calling is kinda abrasive.. .and in some ways, needy! It kinda says "I want and need to talk to you, now.")
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, I just feel there is a fine line between being needy vs being forward. If anyone has any advice on this it would be great.
(I have this group of guys who love to go out and be totally indirect. They are all about "looking" like they're having a great time.. But I honestly feel many women a dying for a guy to just boss up and be forward. So I don't know. Obviously I am way overanalyzing.)
