Met a chick at a coffee shop a little bit ago and got a bunch of IOIs and her number.

Texted her

First round:
Capt: Thought I'd say hello to my favorite barista (well at least top five ) -Capt
HB8.5: Thanks! Hello!
Capt: Hope your day's kicking ass! (Sensed something odd, sent something low investment)

Then nothing (Hunch seemingly confirmed)

I come in again this week with my bud, and the plot thickens: the first thing she says is how she didn't know it was me (she forgot my name, gr...) and took her a couple days to realize it was me and not some creeper who got her # surreptitiously. The rest of the night was good, flirted and got more IOIs.

So I was thinking of reopening with this:

C: Congratulations!
HB: Why??
C: You get a two for one! The dashing gentleman who's texting you not only isn't some creepy chap, he also happens to be me

Or something to that effect. Ideas? Thoughts? Revisions?

field test it on 20 different girls then ask yourself if you like it

as for this specific girl, seems like she is not all the interested, if you just want to ping her for interest just send her a random statement that she doesn't have to reply to, if she is interested in talking she will

''ohhh wow, cookies and milk together are amazing''

if you get ''who's this?'' or no answer, then might as well forget about her for at least a week and try to meet other girls

your goal should be a meetup, not a text convo, and if you can't get a convo you most likely can't get a meetup, and if she is not willing to give that small amount of compliance, then obviously she is not sexually interested/available for you

Nothing wrong with a text convo. But still meet for push ups. I agree with above, send statement not questions.

Also, if you got her hooked, you can send the most boring text out there and still get her to reply. But keep it playful and also built comfort.

And your text, I would seriously stay away from mentioning that she forgot your name. And first text, always sign your name.

I would come up with some other text to send once she replied why?
