Hi Dudes,
Met a girl out right at the end of the night (5am Sat night) and ended up sharing a cab home with her as her place was on the way to mine (she had work in just a couple of hours so was pull-proof). Got her number, proposed a date. She paid her way of the cab. I've included a post-script at the bottom so you know the full story but really I want feedback on the texting. Wondering how I could have made it tighter / expended less effort?
So here's the follow up:
(still in taxi with her) ME: Hey (my-name) here (suburb).
(after she left) Her: thanks! get home safe
(next evening 6pm) Me: Cheers 'mel'! Hopefully work was kind to you today... you always work mornings?
Her: hey yea thanks Nah not really just sometimes, how was your day?
Me: Scrambing to clean the house before my housemate gets back.. Hey so I am testing some clothes for a shop in (suburb) called (name) (they give me free clothes if I provide feedback - joy) so im thinking of heading in on sat. Shall we check that out and move on to a cafe? Could be fun.
Her: yea we did that too! oh really what are you testing them for? i would love to but im working on Saturday until 3 sorry! How was your day?
Me: Thats a shame! I guess the shop is 'designer sport-ware'. So I'm gonna wear it to the gym this week and see how they go. Too easy. It's just a fun way to market their clothing. I've had a pretty productive day doing all sorts. What's your schedule like next week? Thursday is a public holiday (maybe not for you?). Could still do the cafe thing. I work at the (my job place) afternoons so weekday catchups are always a challenge.
Her: sounds like a great job! I'm working nights this week so I usually sleep until 3 everyday.. my work schedule is all over the show really which gets annoying but the plus is i have today off until night. How's work?
Me: Ur hard to pin down hey, I've heard nursing can get pretty hectic, not just about chasing doctors is it.. reminds me of when I did hotel work. So I usually head to work at 2:30 every day but am flexible (can be later). Would you like to suggest a time then this week, it could work with our schedules.. Say an arvo hot chocolate before work? I guess I'm not big on text-tennis
Her: Yea neither am i! how about friday around 1ish? at this stage im not working
Me: That sounds good
end
Post-script (for those interested):
So we went out (a bit of texting later and mucking around and we actually met at 7:30pm cos I had the night off too). I didn't really remember what she looked like because when I met her I was very drunk and ready for sleep. When I picked her up I was like "FAHK" - pretty, fit looking 23 year old 5 '10 bleach blonde. CAn't screw this up I'm thinking... Anyway went to a couple of bars around Melbourne and was making great progress deep diving and getting incidental touch. I ended up with my arm around her back stroking the nape of her neck under her hair whilst talking which she loved, but then she delivered the killer blow: "I'd love to stay with you all night but I promised a friend I would hang out tonight because she is only in town for the weekend". She said she felt horrible. I put her at ease and kissed her and said yeah it sucks! She'd like to meet me again. I don't know if it's going to fizzle out now or what but I will try again.
