I'd appreciate it if someone who's confident with texting could take a look at this interaction and let me know how to proceed (and critique it too if you wish). Thank you.

Wednesday lunchtime I was in the outdoor plaza of a combined office building, mall and food court when I passed a woman in a skirt-suit and heels, around 30, curvy figure, dark-haired. Her lips were pretty hot as well. She gave me a "look" and I turned around to approach her. She sat on a stone bench and I sat down next to her, complimented her on her attractive body, asked her name, and began conversation.

She had come outdoors to make a phone call to a potential employer as she was dissatisfied with her current job. I deep-dived her on that for about 10 minutes, then told her I'd leave her in peace to make the call. I grabbed her digits, put my arm around her, kissed her on the cheek and wished her good luck. "What's your name again?" she asked me with a touch of wonder in her voice as I departed.

  • Wed 3:03 PM—Marty: Hey KoaxingKurves, this is Marty, nice meeting you :) Hope your phone interview went well!

    Wed 3:03 PM—CoaxingCurves: It's CoaxingCurves. He wasn't available, I left a voice message. Thank you for checking, it was a pleasure meeting you as well.

    Wed 3:06 PM—Marty: Fixed the spelling, thank you, CoaxingCurves. My mistake! Might be worth building out a couple other options in the meantime.

    Wed 3:18 PM—CoaxingCurves: Yes. I am. Thank you for the advice.

    Wed 3:40 PM—Marty: Not intended as advice, just a little encouragement! Stay strong in your current position, don't let 'em get to you ;)

    Wed 3:42 PM—CoaxingCurves: Thank you. That was very sweet.

    Wed 3:44 PM—Marty: I have Sat morning, or Mon or Tue evenings still open... does any of those work for you to grab a bite?

    Wed 3:48 PM—CoaxingCurves: Mon or Tue evening works for me. I have visitors next weekend so I am spending my weekend cleaning.

    Wed 4:00 PM—Marty: That's a lot of cleaning :) Okay. What part of town? And when do you get off work?

    Wed 4:01 PM—CoaxingCurves: Can I call you at 5:30, sorry it's hard to work and text. ;* [kissy-winky emoji]

    Wed 4:04 PM—Marty: Sure. I can be very distracting at times! ;) I look forward to hearing from you when you're ready.

    Wed 4:07 PM—CoaxingCurves: OK.

    Wed 9:10 PM—CoaxingCurves: I didn't forget you. A new employee quit today after only 5 days. I've been gossiping with my colleagues since I got off. Are you still available to talk?

    Wed 9:41 PM—Marty: Ha! So it's not just you. I'm at the gym, did you want to chat on the phone? I'll be done in 30 min.
(No phone call took place.)

  • Thu 1:11 PM—Marty: Shall we say Tue at 6 PM? We'll confirm the location later.

    Thu 2:03 PM—CoaxingCurves: Yes. Thank you. Still didn't eat lunch.

    Thu 3:20 PM—Marty: Hope you're eating now. Doing the work of two today? Take care of yourself.

    Thu 3:20 PM—CoaxingCurves: LOL. I am eating now, how did you guess?

    Thu 3:22 PM—Marty: I didn't, but I hoped, because you need to feed that lovely body ;)

    Thu 3:22 PM—CoaxingCurves: Aww. Thank you.

    Sat 8:08 PM—CoaxingCurves: [sends photo of self] Can you send me your photo.

    Sun 9:58 AM—Marty: Lovely photo, thank you. You're pretty cute. Did I already tell you that? ;) I'll send you mine shortly, hope the cleaning is going well :)

    Sun 9:58 AM—CoaxingCurves: Yes. The cleaning is done.

    Sun 9:59 AM—Marty: Oh, great news! So: a day of relaxation?

    Sun 10:00 AM—CoaxingCurves: Thank you for the compliment. Yes, I'm going to brunch with friends today and will be resting after that.

    Sun 10:00 AM—Marty: Marvelous. I hope the brunch is delicious and fun!

    Sun 10:00 AM—CoaxingCurves: I may cancel, it's raining.

    Sun 10:03 AM—Marty: So... sitting at home all day in your beautifully clean apartment. Wish I were there ;)

    Sun 10:04 AM—CoaxingCurves: LOL. Yes, I may be.

    Sun 10:08 AM—Marty: Okay. If you get bored... just let me know ;)

    Sun 10:09 AM—CoaxingCurves: OK. Don't forget to send your picture.

    Sun 10:10 AM—Marty: Sure, but I think you'll find I'm more fun in person!

    Sun 10:11 AM—CoaxingCurves: You can show me when we see each other again.

    Sun 10:14 AM—Marty: I might be able to give you a sneak preview, if you're good.

    Sun 10:26 AM—CoaxingCurves: LOL.

    Sun 10:50 AM—Marty: No laughing matter... If you're lounging in your spotless apartment after brunch and don't feel like going out, but find yourself daydreaming about a strong man, I'm a text message away. Otherwise I'll see you Tuesday :)

    Sun 10:52 AM—CoaxingCurves: Duly noted.
Obviously, I still haven't sent her the photo.

Here's my question: assuming she doesn't text me for a booty-call (and I think she's unlikely to, given she's only seen me in the flesh for 10 minutes) how should I proceed at our date in view of what has taken place and the image of myself I've presented?

Thank you!
