When you go into a lady's DM and you introduce yourself properly and than she responds properly.
Please do not indulge her with excessive texting.
Many ladies do not know how to express themselves in writing.
Politely ask for her phone number and ask if you can call her.
If she obliges you, give her a call and speak like a mature man and engage her in conversations that are healthy and polite.
Do not start going to her WhatsApp to chat with her because you have her number.
Call her like 3 more times and ensure that the calls last at least 5-10 minutes each time.
Then ask her for a date and a convienient time that both of you can meet.
Do not start inviting her to your house.
Once she agrees to a date, prepare for it, look good and smell good.
Then go for your date.
Ensure that you pay for whatever both of you consume on that date.
Then part ways respectfully.
Do not try to give her a hug and avoid unnecessary touching.
Tell her thank you for honoring your invitation for a date and go home.
Give it time, and call her one more time to ensure that she arrived safe.
Then don't call her again.
Don't even text her.
If she's interested in seeing you again, she'll be the one to reach out.
A mature lady will even call you and spend some time on the call with you.
If that happens, ask her for another date.
Then on the second date, you can then ask her to be your girlfriend and tell her who you think she is the one you wish to try with.
If she doesn't give you any response (positive or negative), don't push it.
After the date, repeat the same thing by calling her to know if she arrived safely.
Then call her another day to ask her if she has given your request a thought.
If she is still not forthcoming, quietly block her in your mind and move on to the next avaliable woman.
She doesn't have any receipts of you asking her out in a chat.
Do not call her again, even if you truly like her.
If she likes you, she'll be the one to start initiating calls, texts and meet ups.
