Can I just add, that as a woman, most of us instinctively know when a guy uses tips and techniques from well meaning “gurus” such as David DeAngelo. I’m not saying don’t try them, I am saying don’t be surprised if they don’t work. If you like this girl, trust me, all the tips and tricks have been tried on her before!

So if I were the girl and a nice guy suddenly says “No”, postpones the date, doesn’t text first, (add more guru tips here), etc. I know I’m being (unsuccessfully) played.

Go Old School. Date other girls because with this one it takes ten years to say “hello” anyway because she is so busy. There is a chance that she will be interested in you when other girls are, but so what? Let her finish school, do her three jobs, and volunteer work in peace.
