I appreciate your encouragement

Thanks for the clarity

I appreciate your point of view

Agree, she's trolling you. Bro there are many fish in the sea, catch another one.

Good thought, I tried to incorporate your motto of, less is more. Hopefully my text below is better tailored (any thoughts?):

"What do you bake? If your stress bake, I'll stress eat ;)"

How would one respond in a fun flirty way, below is what I was planning to text back to open a new thread and learn whether she can cook (Just want to know if this is too gamey, and if so how could it be improved?):

"Look at that beauty, now you got a source for staying hydrated on your flight back lol. Do you happen to bake and cook? That would make a great coconut cake and pie."

What's your favorite wine?

Say "Let me guess (make 3 assumptions about her), am I close?" - this will get you 3 possible topics to talk about

what if you say "It depends, what sets you apart?"

Okay I realized, I was being dumb about this part, got it
