It came at a good time since I just encountered the same problem yesterday.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHow would you proceed if the girl LJBF through text? \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe story is: I no. closed a girl in direct daygame, (5 min interaction) we texted a few texts and then she took 2 days to reply. Her reply was I\u0027m not her type and she has a bf. I ignored that text and continued replying to her other text.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EMy exp was that another girl whom i no. closed in the direct daygame (5 second close, didn\u0027t even know her name when I got her no. cause she was in a rush LOL). On her second text, she gave me something similar to LJBF, in that she wrote she\u0027s not looking to date. I ignored that text, replied to her other texts, and managed to meet her a couple of days later. It fizzled out after that date but I did managed to meet her.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThere\u0027s also many cases where I texted the girl to hang out and she gave me that LJBF, or they say they have a bf. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat should I reply when they LJBF over text, or is that a lost cause? These girls are all direct daygame, mostly walking sets. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOf course the best solution for me is to fix my problems during the approach itself and I strive to do that, but how can I handle this situation as it comes up during texting?\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThanks for replying.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E      \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022pull-right\u0022\u003E\u003Cul class=\u0022links list-inline\u0022\u003E\u003Cli class=\u0022comment-reply first last\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/reply\/3393\/90202\u0022\u003Ereply\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022indented\u0022\u003E\u003Ca id=\u0022comment-90331\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\u0022comment comment-by-node-author well clearfix\u0022 about=\u0022\/comment\/90331#comment-90331\u0022 typeof=\u0022sioc:Post sioct:Comment\u0022\u003E\n  \u003Cimg class=\u0022authortag\u0022 src=\u0022\/sites\/all\/themes\/custom\/girlschase\/images\/comment-author-1.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Author\u0022 width=\u002260px\u0022 height=\u002260px\u0022 \/\u003E    \u003Cdiv class=\u0022user-picture\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Ca href=\u0022\/users\/chase-amante\u0022 title=\u0022View user profile.\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg typeof=\u0022foaf:Image\u0022 class=\u0022img-responsive\u0022 data-src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/picture-1-1492164307.png\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/all\/modules\/contrib\/lazyloader\/image_placeholder.gif\u0022 alt=\u0022Chase Amante\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 title=\u0022Chase Amante\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 \/\u003E\u003Cnoscript\u003E\u003Cimg typeof=\u0022foaf:Image\u0022 class=\u0022img-responsive\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/www.girlschase.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/picture-1-1492164307.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Chase Amante\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 title=\u0022Chase Amante\u0026#039;s picture\u0022 \/\u003E\u003C\/noscript\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \n    \u003Ch3 property=\u0022dc:title\u0022 datatype=\u0022\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/comment\/90331#comment-90331\u0022 class=\u0022permalink\u0022 rel=\u0022bookmark\u0022\u003ELJBF via Text\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\n  \n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022submitted\u0022\u003E\n            Posted by \u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:has_creator\u0022\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022\/users\/chase-amante\u0022 title=\u0022View user profile.\u0022 class=\u0022username\u0022 xml:lang=\u0022\u0022 about=\u0022\/users\/chase-amante\u0022 typeof=\u0022sioc:UserAccount\u0022 property=\u0022foaf:name\u0022 datatype=\u0022\u0022\u003EChase Amante\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E on Sunday, 25 October 2020  \u003C\/div\u003E\n\n  \u003Cdiv class=\u0022content\u0022\u003E\n    \u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:reply_of\u0022 resource=\u0022\/content\/tactics-tuesdays-how-respond-ljbfs\u0022 class=\u0022rdf-meta element-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan rel=\u0022sioc:reply_of\u0022 resource=\u0022\/comment\/90202#comment-90202\u0022 class=\u0022rdf-meta element-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-items\u0022\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-item even\u0022 property=\u0022content:encoded\u0022\u003E\u003Cp\u003E1984-\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWell, you have two options.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOption #1 (\u003Ca href=\u0022\/\/www.girlschase.com\/content\/when-throw-ball-her-court-and-when-not\u0022\u003Eball in her court text\u003C\/a\u003E) is the one I usually default to:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong class=\u0022pink-dialogue\u0022\u003EHer:\u003C\/strong\u003E Hey... just so you know I have a boyfriend and I\u0027m not looking to date right now.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong class=\u0022blue-dialogue\u0022\u003EYou:\u003C\/strong\u003E Right on.

I know I won\u0027t be as into it when we meet up, and that\u0027ll affect my odds with her... compare that to some guys who really love shagging attached girls, where maybe they get even more of a rush meeting up with a girl like this.

I recently had sex three times with a coworker. We\u2019ve known each other for two years but only recently started hanging out because she switched projects and no longer worked closely with me. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI will try to describe the series of events as clearly as possible. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe\u2019ve hung out 4 times over the span of three weeks. Three times were exclusively at my place (2 of the 3 times we had sex) and the final time we went on a hike. Since we\u2019ve been hanging out, the girl has been giving me a few signs hinting that she wanted a relationship with me although I never brought it up. First, she told two of her old coworkers that we hooked up. Second, she told me she hadn\u2019t had sex all year until we finally hooked up\u2014leading me to believe she\u2019s a serial dater. Third, she invited me over to her apartment for breakfast with her sister, her sister\u2019s best friend, and the best friend\u2019s husband. Since we\u2019ve only been seeing each other in a sexual capacity for three weeks, I told her I was busy Saturday and could not make the breakfast; however, I suggested that we go on a hike together Sunday which she accepted. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe hike was a lot of fun, she has a cool personality and we were able to talk freely with each other. At one point, we sat at this little cove we discovered and made out. Everything seemed fine. However, on the car ride home, when I suggested that we pick a new show to binge watch together this week, the girl said she thinks it\u2019s best that we be platonic friends. I was taken by surprise a little and was driving so I didn\u2019t really react to this as well as I would have liked. But the conversation seemed off to me in the first place. I figured we were just having fun and keeping things super casual, so there was no need to have this type of conversation. Her response made me believe it was about the sex we had. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EIf I had to describe the sex, I would have to say it was mediocre at best. Mostly due to us getting to know each other. I also think this is compounded by the fact that she knew about the great sex I used to have with an ex-girlfriend of mine and probably had very high expectations. In the car she tried to assure me that this was not the case, that she enjoyed the sex but just didn\u2019t feel a spark between us\u2014but at the same time I wasn\u2019t hanging out with her to date her so why would there be a spark. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EUltimately, this most recent interaction has me confused and left wondering if there is something I can learn from the situation.
