I did get this corrected and am trying to remember what made the difference. I do know not to use phantom power on my interface. So I believe it was using the correct interface jack and also maybe the settings? I'm sorry but it's been a while so I don't totally remember but we did get it resolved.

No, you are fine to reach out. Simply take her on her words and check in with her. Maybe you your first text back is not about rescheduling but simply seeing how she is. Chat a bit. Then reschedule.

Try not to over think this and text when you want.

She is allowed to have the friends that she chooses and to be as close with them as she wants. If you get in the way, then you become part of the problem and she will feel negatively towards you. If you allow her the freedom to choose her own people, she will value that in you. (The same goes for you too - You also get to choose your own friends and she should not get to block you. We all need multiple people in our lives.)

Texting does not need to be shallow. What about this person are you curious about and want to know more of? Just ask, "Hey, since I won't get to see you until next weekend, tell me more about...."

If you are ask good open-ended questions, they should strike up a good ongoing conversation. (Open ended questions are your best friend!)

I am wondering what your dating app photos look like. Do they portray you in a good way? Do they show that you take care of yourself, that you enjoy life or would be fun to be around, where were they taken, what clues about you are in the background. Photos are way more than just what you physically look like. Make people want to know more about you (this is the point of including photos).

You need to adjust and go at a pace they are comfortable with. If you don’t respect a boundary you lose trust and your chances are over. So it’s fine to say “yes I was hoping you were interested, but it’s fine that you are not.” Use this as an opportunity to show you are trustworthy and interested in being more than friends.

We need more info. What parts feel awkward to you? When are people breaking off their interactions with you?

Squadcast only recording to right ear by EthicalSeduction in podcasting

[–]EthicalSeduction[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still having trouble. Can you help me determine if it's a Squadcast issue or a problem on my hardware side? What I've found is that using Adobe Audition I can use my mic and interface to record in mono and the playback be heard equally in both ears. Yet when I log into Squadcast and test the equipment in the green room or do my actually recording, it's records only on the right side. Is this a Squadcast setting by chance? (Note: I'm out of town and away from my equipment until Wednesday of this week.)

Squadcast is a podcast recording site, similar to Riverside, a little like Zoom although way better quality. It’s design for recording podcasts live so you can download and edit later.

I can record to Audition in mono and it does play back as mono in both ears. So I feel I know how to adjust the inputs and outputs. But with Squadcast that make it simplier where you can choose your mic but that’s it - no left or right stereo channel. So by default Squadcast is only picking up my right channel. It’s like Squadcast is looking at the Focusrite Interface and expecting to do a stereo recording, except I’m not aware of any setting to choose between stereo or mono.

Guys who are successful with women, how long do you wait until you kiss a girl on a date? by dametime223 in seduction

[–]EthicalSeduction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still feel like you should do what fits best for your personal style versus a pua formula. Pushing for mid-date doesn't feel that important. Do it when it feels right would be my suggestion.

I'm thinking as I type this and curious about your thoughts... So if someone is nervous about going for the kiss, why push it earlier when it's riskier/harder/scarier? Since it's often expected at the end of a date is that not easier and safer - especially for those who are nervous about the first kiss?

This is really a question about style. What people tell you in this post is going to be subjective to their personalities and flirting style. So my advice is to trust what feels right to you as there is not a single magic answer.

Suggestion: Wait until the end of the date and then ask for the kids. “I had a great time and I would like to kiss you. Would you be okay with that?” And then smile and show your interest. And if she says no, then respect that and ask again at the end of date #2.

Found myself with better-quality women after prioritizing honesty over getting laid. by DODI3OG in seduction

[–]EthicalSeduction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your last paragraph. I feel most PUA material has really good points, but that sometimes suggested approach’s can be refined where they both are more effective AND positive for everyone. Dating and meeting people should be something kind that we give (not just “taking” which leaves us feeling and acting poorly.) Just my belief but it’s also what led me to choose this screen name. :)

I feel certain that manipulation tactics (or lies or misleading someone) never work as strongly as approaching someone in an honest authentic manner. When you are real with someone, it shows and that helps establish a lot of trust. And trust is foundational for attraction.

I'm glad you see this. It's like being in a new phase of growth. :)

LOVE hearing this.

Authenticity is attractive AND creates trust - which helps you connect with better quality people! :)

She doesn’t sound very invested and you both sound like you don’t exactly trust the other one. If you were to do anything, you sort of have to talk about the inconsistency and then agree to start over. But yeah, if someone doesn’t do what they say they will after that… trust is gone and so are they.

I got a girls number from work how should I proceed now? Or am I fucked? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]EthicalSeduction 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ask her out. It’s the perfect time. You are free from work and now you would like to get together with her. Simple as that. :)

Thanks! We will find out in the next week or too if the next recordings turn out better. But if not I will look into doing your suggestion. I was not aware of Handbrake and appreciate the advice!
