I have a question on closing in POF. I had a good 1+ hour chat with a girl who was at least a HB7 or HB8. She is the party girl type. I like the online chatting format because it allows me time to think of responses whereas in real life they have to be instant. I'm pretty good at joking online. I had her laughing at a few of my comments. You don't have to read the rest of the post because its long but I will give you the cliff notes so that you can comment. I had a good 1+ hour conversation. She ended by saying I had to go to sleep then quickly exited off. Seems to me she enjoyed the conversation and laughed quite a bit though i cant tell if im in friend zone or not because I didn't escalate. I just wanted to build comfort and rapport first before I made my move. I want to know what i do in my next conversation with her to move things to a date or something else. She is 2 years younger than me.


This is kinda long, but it was a 1+ hour conversation and I am going to summarize the basics of it.

Gist of conversation:
-My initial message said:
" it must be tough to be a (Insert certain choking sports team here) fan these days. Get your hopes so high then disappoint. That's why I always expect the (insert certain choking sports team here) to lose so that any extra win is a bonus. That way you will never be let down by the (Insert choking sports team here)."

her response:
"It is and it isn't They are a good team but they choke. But
I get where you are coming from"

Anyways i hit her up in a chat. we expand on that for a few minutes. she said she had hope. i said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing hoping for a different. then i moved on to my (insert certain choking sports team here) fan test. I asked a few questions silly questions about the team. I asked if she wants to fire the GM and Coach. she said no. then i asked her if the star player of (insert certain choking sports team) partied too much. she said that he got a lot of grief he didn't deserve. then i topped it off with asking if she liked the whipping boy of the fans of (insert certain choking sports team here)? She said yes. Then i told her she passed the test and she seemed very positive (more positive than 96% of the fans of this team) and asked if it extended to her real life she said yes.

Then i said I didnt like the online dating thing because so many people send messages titled hi how are you? Obviously they werent sending that to me but I knew she probably got 20 messages like that every day so I played on that and tried to DHV by implying that I get a lot of messages. she laughs it off and says it true. she wonders why no one on POF is original. I said that 99% of POF is unorignal but I can't complain because it makes my job easier. She laughed at that. I said : "let me guess: you got 10 messages today with 9 titled hi with the body saying hey you gotta a beautiful eyes and a nice smile" She laughed and said she said she got 15 messages today with 6 titled like that. I knew I could get a few cheap laughs from that. I told her my psychic powers failed me there. She said haha. Her photos had cheesy captions on them. I asked her if she wrote them or her friends. she said they were music lyrics. I said that i thought they were cheesy pickup lines by guys. She said haha they could be that too.

then talked about a few things about ourself like that she goes to college (3 hours away) though she is here for the summer. After about 30 minutes she had to go pick up her sister from work and said she would be back in 15 minutes. She came back in about 20 minutes so she certainly didn't flake.

She doesnt have a phone which is highlighted in profile. She said lost it during a drunk episode. I told her that it couldnt be as embarrasing as when my phone crapped out because i crashed my car in a snowstorm. then i told a story about my sister falling in a lake which killed her phone. she laughed at that. she told me her story and the crazy hangover she got. I told her a few of my drunk stories and she laughed at them and called the last one epic.

then we talked about our college experiences. i talked about i messed up early on and was too lazy expecting it to be like HS which forces me to take like 38 credits in the next year to graduate. she said jeeze. we talked about this for a little with me explaining that i chose a major late which is why i am behind.

Then she said she had to go to sleep and exited off the screen.

What do I do in the next conversation? This one went well with her laughing a lot. I dont know if i am in the friendzone and i definitely dont want to go there. i didnt escalate mainly because I didnt want to force her to be creeped out by a guy asking her out so quickly on the internet. We didn't talk anything at all about relationships, past Significant others, sexual talk, etc. It was just a casual convo. What's the next step to take it to a date? Remember she doesn't have a phone so that could hinder things a bit.
