So I met this hb 8.5 at IKEA the other day. I saw that she had a bunch of boxes that she needed help loading her car with so I offered to help. Afterwards, I got her number. Anyways, the next day comes and she texts me "Hey it was nice to meet you and sorry for not texting you last night, I was super excited to put some furniture together.
I responded:
"Thats alright... see its too bad that the cute guy you met from Ikea wasnt there to help you build it. Were you able to put everything together?"
She responded:
"Haha well, I managed picing the tables, a chair, and part of a dresser (I need to get a hammer lol but the desk I might be giving up on."
I responded:
"Hmm sounds like you need help from a guy that is good with his hand and I happen to know of one that was at Ikea yesterday
"She responded:
"let me guess an Ikea staff member lol jk"
My response (definitely should have sent something differently":
"Haha: well Ill make ya a deal. Ill send the guy that was at ikea yesterday to help you out if you take him out to dinner
"I got no response after that and I realized I probably should have had more rapport going before I jumped into it. This was all last night and neither one of us have texted since then. How do I recover?
I was thinking of sending something like : "Ouch. No response. Don't take it too seriously, I had a heck of a time getting my desk assembled. It helps if they drill the holes before I take it home..."
