I'm stumped on where to take this exchange. She's responded well to some sexualisation (re: being thrown around), but then can seem aloof and I'm certain I've not sent a single optimal message so far so that doesn't help. I can see potential in this one but I think there could be benefit to getting her on whatsapp/text and investing a bit more. Any and all insights appreciated... Will post results.

Wait for her to reply and begin the close. Soon find out if she's invested enough. You're thiiiiis close to either becoming her texting buddy/verbal sparring partner or getting written off as a bloke who can't pull the trigger. I'm looking at that last message going uh oh, hope that's not a tipping point

Thanks man. Would you be as straightforward as plainly asking her if she's free for a drink this week? She doesn't seem that interested yet. I was hoping to get a positive reply soon and off the back of that ask for the number.

Crying out for the classic "Do you like wine?" which is a classic because it begins the close while also being very safe and thirdly getting the positive reply you're rightly looking for
If it's not feeling solid to you, a safe close is in small pieces starting general. Next piece after "wine?" might be "How about we split a bottle and see if we vibe" then "how's your week looking" then "romantic balcony"/"romantic bar" etc.
I looked at the third screenshot and thought "he's got the closest thing to a yes-set that he's going to get from Miss Cynical, why ask that question?" It's hard to understand and at high risk of torching the run of reasonably positive replies you had going. Remember the classic salesman's yes-set is completely engineered by the salesman, they don't care what the questions are as long as the only possible answer is 'yes'
