I met this chick last Sunday at a meetup. We sat next to each other and started chatting almost exclusively between us 2. She then asked me if I wanted to walk with her until the metro station and I accepted. We chatted some more and things were going pretty smooth between us, so I asked for her phone number.
2 days later, I sent her a text suggesting that we meet for lunch (she was talking about a nice Japanese place, so that was my cue) and she readily agreed. So, we met on Wednesday and had a really good time. I even pulled out the cube routine and she loved it I know this goes against PUA doctrine, but I did pay for the lunch (we are both 30 and have comfortable jobs, I really wanted to behave like a gentleman). She seemed a bit embarrassed and she kept saying "thank you". Whatever...
Before parting ways, I suggested that we meet again for cycling or a walk in the woods during the week-end if the weather was good. She said ok but with a reservation as she already had some other plans.
I looked at the weather forecast however and I saw it would pour this week-end. So, I sent her a text on Thursday mentioning a change of plans and suggested that we meet for drinks on Friday eve instead.
Here's the exchange:
Her: "Hi xxx, thanks again for the lunch! I am pretty packed with stuff this weekend but how about a lunch/drink next week, maybe Thursday? In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the good weather!!!"
Me: "haha, quite busy I see! I hope it isn't anything work related
I actually wanted to take you somewhere "special", but I guess it will have to wait until next week
Enjoy the w-e and let's stay in touch! x"
Her: "Hi xx, thanks and see you next week! You too, enjoy the weekend very much. Best + her initials"

I was never really fond of texting but I now realise that it's quite important for gaming women. I am not too sure how the above exchange went. A friend told me my messages were wimpy (please also bear in mind that I am not a native English speakers, so some things are less obvious to me). I could really use some help when writing my messages. I will eventually learn but I still cannot figure out certain things by myself, so any recommendations on how to improve my game are welcome.
First of all, I know she is having an exam coming up but I don't know the date. I was thinking of writing her on Sunday afternoon something along those lines:
"Hey there, what's up? Hope you are having a good time and not studying too hard
Btw, when is your exam? I will send some positive waves in your direction "The possible problem with the above is that it's a typical "nice guy" message. PUA books suggest to be more playful. The following text came to mind:
"Hey there, what's up? Hope you are not banging your head against with the study books, lol. We wouldn't want your cute face to be hurt
So, when's your exam?"Does it sound too corny? Again, I am not a native English speaker, so I have absolutely no idea if this looks bad or not. It's just an idea.
Any recommendations are welcome. Feel free to change the text and to point out why my text is wrong.
As I wrote before, guides do not help in specific situations. What I really need is real-life advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will eventually pick things up, but I need this initial "baby-sitting".
Thanks, mates!
