Suggestive Language as Response to Counterproposal

[Marty]

Hey fellas,

Can I have feedback from you on the following message:

How's your calendar looking this week... Do you think you can slot me in? ;-)

Is the erotic innuendo appropriate, or do you think it is too heavy, too vulgar? I'm contemplating using it when I resume contact with a woman who responded to my date proposal by saying she was short of time, but made a specific counter-offer of a later date.

If you think it's all right, how blatant can I go: "Squeeze me in"? "Slip me in"?? Does it set a sexual frame, or does it give away too much obvious interest?

This is for a woman who is visibly very knowing and liberal-looking and has sexual suggestion written all over her (heavy foundation application, tight clothing, provocative display of jewelry etc.), so treating her with kid gloves would seem counterproductive.

Thanks for your help,
Marty

Hey, Marty

I like the idea of a sexual frame combined with a date suggestion. My problem is that it sounds sort of approval chasing. To me it reads: hey, do you have time for me? It almost seems like it sets her as the one with outcome independence.

I might be wrong, however. Just my take on it.

Jake.

Jake: agree. My worry was that I'm handing her too much power. I think I'll skip it. -Marty
