Met some girl on a university campus who was into me, but I messed it up for a few reasons. Conversation is down below, here's my thoughts:

She practically qualifies herself to me as being smart right off the bat. Then I try screen her for "studiousness" in order to try to get her to qualify herself. This was a mistake in hindsight. At the time, I didn't realize she had already qualified herself to me, and that her qualifying to me a second time was going to raise my value and lower my attainability too much. Anyways, she knows this and disqualifies herself to my screen. My attainability gets sent into a sweet spot, and she starts hitting on me.

The rest of the conversation my attainability was fluctuating - but I ended up in "no challenge" land. I was simply not doing a good job at listening - I tried to qualify her based on what she does for fun, but she kept disqualifying herself to these screens. Choosing to qualify her based on what she does for fun was a bad idea. she is clearly a hard working girl with ambition. so I should have screened her and qualified her based on that.

She screens me for ambition, and I qualify myself to her. My attainability is dropping now! Finally, after her screens, I try to qualify her based on what she does in her free time - she deflects, several times, and I'm done for. Sure, she was attracted but I didn't "get it" which turned her off, and me qualifying to her made her higher status than me, which is why she kept resisting with "maybes" using an "I'm in charge" vocal tone. So ya, i got played lol

Seemed like she was interested in the beginning. I'm not familiar with the lingo you used in the beginning of your explanation but I can't pin point where things went wrong.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake
