I matched with this 24 year old girl on Tinder and since I get so few of those, I decide to message her. She's not super attractive, kind of fat actually, but I opened her all the same. I think somewhere Chase suggested using a song lyric opener so I went with it. I'd like you guys to take a look at our conversations and tell me if I did something right here. I didn't continuously text her, sometimes I would respond instantly, after 10 minutes, or a few hours.
- ME: Hello, is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes.
- HER: never adele moment with you, i see
(not an adele song but i wasn't about to correct her) - ME: Nor with you it seems. The app says you are 107 miles away, what adventure are you embarking on?
- HER: toronto for a few days for a fellowship. my hometown, which is kind of nice.
- ME: Interesting. So you'll be back in time for the new moon? I know how you have an affection for it
(she said something in her profile like a "particular lunar affection", whatever that means) - HER: i return that evening, in fact, yes.
- ME: Nice. You must be dying to meet me then lol
- HER: and whatsoever would give you that idea, cheeky boy
- ME: Well you swiped right, found me extremely witty, and "coincidentally" will return by the new moon, as if by fate. Or... desire
- HER: i have to hand it to you.
points for confidence and for the aforementioned wit - ME: Thank you. Since fate seems to demand it, perhaps we could meet up by the new moon and get to know each other better
- HER: perhaps. plans still in flux - may have my matching blood bag (sibling) in tow that evening
either way you cut it, for now, i bid you adieu
tis late and i have a long day tmw. - (i see an opportunity to grab her number since she's probably more likely to flake if we chat on tinder)
ME: I understand. However, Tinder is awful to chat on so here's what I'll do. I'll give you my number, then you give me yours, and I'll hit you up later in the week. Sound good?
(I give her my number)
- HER: and now you have mine, o heralder of the new moon
- ME: Haha, I love the title. Very creative
- HER: creativity i have in spades
- ME: Then let's see if you can use it to create a way to meet your destined lover
- HER: wow
ever so smooth - ME: The moon is approaching, you're running out of time you know
(probably overdid it with the callback humor) - HER: saturday's a way off, is it not?
and what exactly are you expecting here, a fullblown pagan ritual?
(definitely overdid here) - ME: Haha, no. I'd just prefer to have a plan in place since I'm very busy this week.
- HER: get back late saturday. sunday or monday?
- ME: Sunday is best. I live on campus at ___ so we could meet somewhere in that area
- HER: i'm vehicularly challenged so will have to see if i can swing it
- (don't have car on campus so only option for me is the buses)
ME: Understood - HER: but if i can make the trek after my rehearsals and stuff i'll do my best
- ME: Sound good
- HER: i do believe, also, moonboy, that maybe we should get that typical tinder convo about what we're looking for out of the way
- (getting a little nervous now. don't want to scare her away)
ME: Alright, so tell me what you were looking for - HER: casual baseline. friends for fooling around with. brain stuff is important. playing with kink, perhaps. you?
- ME: Similar situation. Meeting cool people and see where it goes
- HER: ?
- (was i too vague?)
ME: I'm not looking for anything serious at the moment is what I'm trying to say - HER: haha i got that. i don't really do serious and i am too bad at the dating game for that either, so
- ME: I understand. But you don't need to be good at the dating game to just talk to people, right?
- HER: decidingly not (what did she mean by this?)
what do you study at ___? - ME: Game Design & Development
- HER: ok that's rad as fuuuck
- ME: Thanks, it's something I've wanted to do for a very long time
- HER: do you have a special area of interest? certain kind of game, specific area of design?
- ME: Haha, this kind of stuff is hard to talk about over text. I'll tell you more when we meet up
(trying to create some intrigue - HER: kk
- ME: I'll text you later this week to sort out the details
