I'm not sure if she's still interested or just giving me a bunch of shit. I think I might have sent a few suboptimal texts and she lost interest. Anyway, I was wondering if there was any way to turn the conversation around into a more positive frame? Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for any help!

Dude, reading this is a bit cringey from the start. I’m not a fan of that first line, seems like soft closing from a low investment place. Nevertheless she responded positively to your first msg. The second sentence was a bit too try hard, meaning you were just trying too hard to use that line. Again, she responded okay. Then you blew it up with the bratty line. Reality is she’s a Grandma 👵 going to bed so early.. you could’ve teased her a bit and spiked her emotions “Cutest 👵 on here” and stayed in a positive frame rather than a combative frame. You could try to recover with something like “Let’s start over.. Hi, I’m Shawn. I like pizza and kick ass at Mario kart. Pleasure to make your acquaintance Sarah.”

Yes, it’s a little cheesy but that’s the point. You’ve got to walk back her upset and make her rethink your personality for a second. Then you can make progress forward

I definitely agree man. She unmatched before I got a chance to respond but reading it back I see where you're coming from. I was kind of using certain phrases haphazardly with no concern of if it even works. Anyway, thanks. I'll try to keep it in mind next time.
