Me: “ah nice hope they don’t go too hard on you with the return home interrogation questions”
“Haha, it should be good if our first date is anything to go by :)”
“What’s the new job btw?”

Her: “just another university job but doing educational programming instead 😊”

I’ll admit I was not in the right frame of mind (just got back from good date with other girl) and texting is very beta hence why she ignored the first two things I said. Should I keep the convo going and re-engage next week closer to our scheduled date?

Cheers man. That’s a good strategy.

I wrote back “you’re grand :)
“The 30th suits fine. I’ll put you on my calendar (inside joke she said it to me previously) and the champagne on ice”
“Heading anywhere cool?”

To which she replied “visiting home to see family before I start the new job” “haha that sounds delightful 💁🏻‍♀️“

What does that emoji mean? Or what would you send back?

Thanks man, I used your line. She wrote back within 5 minutes.
“Sorry been a mad week”
“I am away for two weeks so the 30th might be my best day?”

Todays the 12th. How would you play this? What would you say. It’s a long time.

I replied with:

Don’t get too excited now :) when are you free?

Her response was:

“I am away next week but Tuesdays are usually good for me - I don’t teach those evenings 😊”

Todays Thursday so that makes it over a week and a half before I can confirm a date. What would you do in this instance?
I’m thinking I should try to number close her first and text her for a bit to build rapport and investment

Thanks man! I used the backrubs line. Her response was “she said that sounds like a fair deal”.
What do you think next? I’m thinking of changing to “so name, give me the basics, tattoos, kids, prison etc”.

I wrote “that’s a dagger in my heart, maybe you could let me know over a cup of coffee?” - she wrote back “I don’t do coffee dates but you can take me for dinner”. What do you think? What would you say next?

Thanks. Sounds good

Haha that’s classic
