Do not text a girl longer than two weeks without moving toward a date

There is a hard limit on how long texting should go before it either leads to a meetup or you move on. Two weeks is the ceiling, and even that is only justified by logistics like living somewhere where you can only go out on weekends. If a girl already has plans for that first available weekend, give it one more weekend. After that, if the conversation has not led anywhere, it is over. You are not there to give your attention away for free. Your attention needs to have a price tag on it, and that starts with actually cutting things off when they are not progressing. If you are just watching reels all day doing nothing, she is not going to respect your time either, because you are not respecting it yourself. Respect your own time first, and then she will treat it as something valuable.
