Do you guys mention the "like" when you message them? I have tried both ways: ignoring that they "liked" me or making a joke out of it then carrying on with a normal message. Probably doesn't matter much but curious if it's even worth bringing it up or making fun of it in a playful way.
Joke out of it, like how?

"I see that you have excellent taste and 'liked' my profile"

"I've noticed we have a lot in common, such as we both rated my profile 5 stars"

"Good news. You like my profile and clearly we'd get along because I like my profile too"

I don't mind the egotistical approach. It cracks me up

Girls liking your profile is almost 100% response rate (Although I like a lot of girls but don't message back when they message me, but girls messaging first are usually lot worse than guys who message first)

i only mention if I have nothing better to say.


This was probably my worst Tinder chat of the day, she was super hard to get talking, so I threw a Hail Mary. I live 100 miles from Wandsworth so she knows we go out I am going back to hers!
(Last message is her giving me number and a kiss)

I was in a similar spot last week of only being interested in meeting up to sleep with the chick. Was not something I'd done before as I am looking for something more serious, but honestly when they lay it up for you like this, why not?

You barely have to put in any effort and if it isn't going well just cut out early and be done with her.

The girl last week I put in about 1.5 hours of time before she gave it up, so no effort at all. Was a fun way to spend what would have been a boring Tuesday night.

no you're correct, this is immediately what i assumed too.

maybe jenn was making a joke within a joke?

Jenni,

Yeah, something to that effect.

Agreed w/everyone that it should be an easy transition to a date either way so as long as it doesn't get offensive or too fancy.

Latest girl just got interesting. On tinder she was boring, on texts she got a bit better, then whatsapp she starts telling me she is going to skive a day off work so we can stay up all night!

Think I am finding a pattern. Girls act so differently on each different medium.

x(xx) is very standard here in the netherlands and I will use it with girls I date but also female friends that I text with but more in a 'cute' way. The meaning is 'kisses'.

Great opener for visitors to your profile who are a bit further afield than usual

"What is a cutie from *city name* doing looking at my profile?"

They always respond, and give a proper reply.


This is a walk to prove I am normal, then suggest we buy a bottle of wine and go watch Mean Girls at hers. Think it is a sure thing from the subtle suggestions.

rungood,

Im trying to work out where you live. You are 100miles from south-west london, and live on the coast. I would guess like Brighton or somewhere along the south coast. Action seems good where you are!

I tried to make a joke about the height thing when I should have just been asking for number and nothing else. Any hot girls will not let you make a mistake.
I ment what youre asking us.

Secondly, joking about height isnt a mistake. And you can joke with a girl whos more good looking than another one. I hardly think its reasonable that shed get upset at that.

That is a ridiculous mindset to have! I wouldnt walk on eggshells around anyone like that, especially not hot girls.

I would love to be in London for this, such a big brain drain from the whole country in to one place. Plus all the girls in their 20s are so career driven there they want no ties!

Sorry what I meant was as soon as she said it was on, I should have got number without saying anything else. I gave her another chance to think he might be weird before getting the number oops

I don't know much PUA stuff, only what people here write and what friends have said. Good to have the stuff in mind and use it to your advantage when you can.


Echoing the London thought, damn that must be easy when every girl in the country wants to move there.
After number would text saying she should come for a night so I can take her out and show her the sights

So had another first last night, which was kind of funny.

I'm waiting for my date outside the bar and obv she is running a bit late. Out of no where this girl probably about 5 years older than I'm expecting, different hair colour and umm.. not exactly on the pretty side of the spectrum approaches me. She says Hi nice to meet you, I'm thinking WTF did I finally run into a girl who looks nothing like her pictures. Since I'm puzzled I ask her if she is X and she replies no LOL. I happily inform her I'm not the guy she is looking for.

My date eventually did show up although she looked about 15lbs heavier than her photos.

That's happened to me twice, with women standing outside an establishment clearly - by virtue of the nature of the eye contact between us - waiting for an online / blind date. Sort of an odd experience.

TR w YC

She picks up a movie and comes over. We eat something at my place, watch the movie, "snuggle," and by the time it's over it's late, so I simply go to bed. Before falling asleep she tells me not to annoy her in the morning, which I interpret as saying... don't try to fool around with me like last time.

I'm going to friendzone her (she's intelligent so she makes for okay company) and / or completely refrain from any physical escalation on my part.

Sleeping over at CL's tonight.

Lol... wtfisthis****.jpg

If the reason you are friendzoning her is hoping for escalation someday, let it go. I dont even get why the **** she would behave like this :|.

Having some success on OKCupid:



Very time consuming maintaining these conversations. Process from start to finish IRL is much speedier.

Wow, 3bet that's awesome. Glad to see you have success.
Are you moving chats to the phone after you get the number? Don't want you to get burned out

Pretty sure she already zoned you. When a girl likes you she wants you to touch her, and isn't booking no touch times in the future. Hey, don't touch me! And while we're at it, don't touch me 8 hours from now or tomorrow or the next day either.

Silly me and my ~*theories*~ again

I have no idea why she doesn't drink but I guess I'll find out. She doesn't seem to have a great personality but she has the tall blonde great body thing going on.
I went out with this one last night. She is blonde and 5'11" and wore heels so she was about an inch taller than me. Great body, pretty and 35 years old. I thought she was 29 or 30 when we met.

We met at a hookah bar but didn't order hookah and she doesn't drink. We chatted for a while there and then we went to a hotel bar nearby and watched baseball and continued to talk about everything. Very chatty and fun and sort of funny so I guess I misjudged her personality, though she is a bit different from me in ways I probably can't explain. We hung out for about three and a half hours. She has been in three serious relationships (almost continuously since she was 18) and hasn't really done any "dating". We made plans to go out again on Sunday evening.

I have another first date tomorrow with someone I met on the same group hike. The personality of that girl seems more my type but I had a good time last night.

Do you think it'd be weird if they found out about each other? & did you ever find out why she doesn't drink?

Nice to hear things went well for you, A+ TR
