Online & Apps POF - how soon to ask for the number?

[JPWorld]

Hiya chaps,

Just spent the afternoon setting up my POF account and using Chase's template for my profile.

I messaged one girl and on her profile she said

If you like what you see, make sure you send me a message! Not too fussed on age or whatever so give me a shot, you can't say it won't be worth it

Pro tip, you are guaranteed a reply if you leave a voice message detailing what you want.

Im free this weekend. Let the best man win.

Obviously with the help of Chase's boss profile and messages, she responded straight-away to mine and it went like so:

Me: You know what...? I hear the people who are vodka-loving gym bunnies make the worst Wii Sports players.



How's the online dating world treating you, Miss. Sociable?



Her: Oh really? I challenge you


Me: Game on, missy

Her: Perfect! Hopefully my boobs wont hit me in the face


Me: Btw, I was just about to lay down how I'm totally down for your laid-back type of hanging out but then I noticed you're in XXX (Next City). You SO awkward
Me: Now that would be distracting for both of us...!

Her: Haha I bet! I drive! I can come to you

Me: Well that works well! I hate online messaging btw - tell me your number

Me: XXX (my city) not too far? (Sent a few minutes later, already knew I had lost it)

I realise I killed the flirty vibe, but I wanted to transition to phone so I could organise her to meet. I knew I lost it after she didn't reply immediately (unless she's just playing games or she read my profile and decided against it for some reason). I'm really not sweating over this girl, just want to get this cleared up for the future.

But my question is for POF, have people had better turnover rates when they set up the meet online before asking for the number or by transitioning over to phone asap?

Back Atcha Cutie. Anything exciting going on in your life right now?


14:04
Amanda

I wish. Lol. How about you?


14:25
John

Well my life is very mysterious and exciting. I probably couldn't tell you much unless you had the same security clearance. But you wouldn't tell anyone, right?


14:28
Amanda

Lol!! May I live vicariously through you??


14:30
John

Guess that is better than "Livin' on Tulsa Time" . Sorry is is it too soon to invoke song titles?


14:34
Amanda

Lol!!! Never too soon!!


14:42
John

Tell me what a blonde bombshell like yourself does with her time? Perhaps I should live vicariously through you. Or your hair. Pretty amazed by the hair...


14:54
Amanda

Lol. Thank you.
14:55

When I'm not working I like going to concerts and going dancing. I hate winter time. Lol. I like camping and going to the coast and being on water. And I like taking my jeep out to play.


15:01
John

I tend to take the coast for granted living so close. Really it is 15 minutes away. Old Willy's jeeps are popular here too. My Horse habit takes the place of that though. My Horses can go where no jeep can. Send me your phone # and Ill Show you..


15:02
Amanda

I love to ride. But I haven't been in years. I really miss it. My goal is to buy property in the next two years so I can have my own.

xxx-xxx-xxxx

The key is to give her a reason to give it to you. Pictures always work...

 

[Fuck This]
