"playing hard to get" is male ego defence and the female excuse for "milking him for attention".

I noticed she kept staring at me and had ioi's. I called her "trouble," and she laughed. Got her # and all, but when I asked if she wanted to go out to eat sometime, I got a "maybe."

More attention milking.

Not sure if this is a shit test or a lack of interest.

It's lack of interest.

fundamentally the game works like this: she takes a step back, YOU take a step back. If you get a maybe, that's a big step back. You need to take a bigger step back or lose respect.

So: ignore for a week and then reply with "yeah, it would never work". If this gets a positive response ask her out. If it doesn't, ditch. If she doesn't go for it, ditch.

I don't like to waste time/ energy, so do you think trying it out with her would be worth it? What is the Red Pill stance on this?

you already tried, this isn't going to work.

Attention whore

Europe is a big place. Everything from raging feminist Brits to trad-con Ukrainians. Overall, you can divide women into two categories: modern or traditional. Basically you can just look at their country's welfare system and that will give you a good idea.

When I deal with traditional women, they play hard to get because they can't afford to get knocked up or get a reputation as a hoe. Modern women, especially at a night club, will put up a bitch shield as a shit test to get betas to bounce off.

Hot chicks get a ton of interest from guys and very often will require some convincing, meaning that a straight up question is rarely enough unless you made a really good first impression.

How much time you're willing to invest in gaming her is up to you, as always. Once you see clear signs of disinterest it's time to cut your losses. Getting a "maybe" from a direct meet up request is not a reason to call it quits unless you're really busy or dont give a fuck about nailing her.

There's many reasons to why a girl is hesitant. One is that women just like to test you, in an attempt to expose the soft core of your weeping heart. Alphas and betas have vastly different reactions to negative feedback, and women are desperate to see yours (maybe even more so when they're interested).

Keep a frame of indifference but with desire. Desire based on want, not on need, is sexy. Amuse yourself and amuse her, and you'll be off to the races.

There's no such thing as playing hard to get. If a girl is into you, she'll make it easy.

In my experience girls in Europe play a lot harder to get. They’re generally not like the liberated American girls who consider getting laid as a woman something to be proud of. Playing hard to get is fine with European girls generally speaking. I had a girl this January that was playing hard to get up until this moment I was balls deep in her. Another thing that you didn’t hear from me though is the whole concept of consent is not really as much of a thing over there. American girls have to almost explicitly give you consent verbally and physically or else you’re maybe going to jail. European girls like when a man is a man and takes control. I’m not saying do anything stupid.

The best approach is to be very direct with no options. Choice confuses them, and gives them power. So instead of saying

• Let's go out to dinner next week / soon, when are you free?
  just say
• I'm going out on Thursday for drinks, will you join me?

The answer to the second questions is yes/no. You decide the date, the venue and the time. She is either on board or not. If she says shes busy that day, you say 'too bad - here's my number in case you change your mind.' and don't offer a second option. Never offer a second option. 9 times out of 10 she doesn't have anything booked that thursday, she is just playing her silly games. if she does change her mind - then you know that she wants it. You know for sure you are getting some.

In my view, game is all about finding out. You need to find out asap if you are going to get some, before wasting hours of time on texts and orbiting. Women instinctively want to prolong the finding out stage. You need to push the agenda. But push it in a way that implies that she is just one of many, and that if he hesitates, you will be taking out some other chick on thursday instead of her. (you don't have to say that, you need to imply that). scarcity + mild dread + social proof + loss aversion + fomo ...that's who you do it.

Another point - if you lay down your one good offer (thursday night, drinks, 9pm zyz venue) and she doesn't bite, then wrap up the convo fairly soon. I prefered to give them my number rather than ask for her number. It means that if they ring, you're getting some. It filters out the time wasters, free loaders and friend zoners. Giving your number is a power move. It means you don't care that much. It's also a clear signal that you are not going to persue her, she needs to take steps.

This approach is all about assuming that YOU are the prize. It's all about demonstrating that a high value man is a rare and precious thing. Hoes and 'hot girls' are ten a penny. Chasing hot girls as if they were some sort of rarity is what causes the entitlement problem and bad behaviour in women.

Smile, look down on them, let them feel your power and size and strength (hugs, hand shakes etc) and then give them a good offer (don't amend the offer) and then cut the interview short. Make sure its you that leaves the interaction, not them. You've got places to go, people to see, women to shag.

Women really respond to this one tactic - you need to act 'as if'. If you don't act as if you are a catch, as if she is lucky to be even talking to you, then she won't feel that way. It's very easy to lead women to think they way you want them to think. Treat them like they're the prize and they will treat you like shit. Act as if you are the prize and they will act accordingly.
