Being persistent without being creepy?

[Anonymous]

Everyone says that the key to getting the girl is being persistent, but guys don't want to come off ass creepy. So we have to do just the right amount of texting and calling and flirting. We usually back off as soon as a text isn't answered because we don't want to look desperate.

So how do we be persistent without looking creepy?

uh that's a classic dilemma, girls face it too btw! Don't worry about looking desperate, girls can be very manipulative and drama queens. You need to give her the right amount of space big flirt bombs then a bit cold, then nice, make her feel like she's lost you ( you moved on to be a friend), then go back to flirting. she ignores you? face her. Not obviously! wait for a while, move on to something else? then go like so what's up? why'd you ignore me?

But at some point the game has to stop.

when she wants you to back off she will be very rude, ignorant, straight forward.

I rhink you show that you are interested, and text her a bit, and if you don't get much of a response, or don't get an enthusiastic response, I would just stop it right there.

You could always ask if she wants to grab a bite sometime and if she comes up with some excuse and doesn't try to set up another day, I would just nix your efforts there.
