So I was talking to a cute girl on tinder, and I begin to feel the need to move things along by asking her to hangout. Here's what she says:

Me: yea...It's kind of a long story which branches off into other stories. I should tell you sometime :) So you have a busy finals week ahead? We should hangout sometime!
Her: Stories are great haha. I'm flying back home right after my finals so maybe after break when I come back
Me: Sounds good :) what's your #
Her: wait, just to be clear tho, i'm not looking for anything on tinder like I got it for fun and if i meet cool people as friends thats an added bonus lol.
Her: [types in her number]

Okay yea bullshit lol. so this girl is agreeing to meet-up with me on tinder, so obviously disregard all the stuff about her just wanting to make friends etc...I think I might've triggered her to say that by straight up asking for her number instead of giving some excuse like " oh I don't use tinder that often"...and also I've had two other instances, One where the girl says "i'm not looking for a hookup or fwb" and then we proceed to have oral on the first date. and another where the girl says "I was only on tinder to find language partners"...and I'm currently in an open relationship with her.

Here's some responses I'm considering. What do you guys think?
1. Just ignore it, add her number, and send her a text saying " Hey, it's ShuaiGe". Changing texting venus has a habit of killing the conversation from the previous venue so maybe this is a good strategy

2. say "you might not be looking for anything, but sometimes it just finds YOU. All I can promise is that we'll have a great time" and then send her a text adding her number

3. say "Friends?! I'm just looking to expand my professional network on LinkdIn. We will exchange business cards afterwards :p" and then send her a text adding her number.

What do you think? Any other suggestions? I like number 3 the best. it's basically using agree+amplify now that I think about it

Wassgood ShauiGe,

If you go with response 1, you risk her auto-rejecting because you didn't address what she was saying "just to be clear", she probably expects it to be addressed.

Personally I wouldn't do response 2, sounds too romantic for my taste.

Response 3 could totally work, because you address it in an absurd way, which can create the same effect as ignoring it.
If that's congruent with your sense of humor, I'd go with that one.

Woah I hadn't expected such a quick reply, thanks Hueman!

So I messaged her #3 and sent her a text

Me:Hey its ShuaiGe! save my number
Her: No.
Her: JK hahaha, though idk if you'll get much networking out of a mere first-year :p

Seems like this did the trick :)
