encountering the attempt at day 2 shit test. a lot of these techniques and lines i read from somewhere within the community. and they've helped me out alot. i wish i could credit whoever came up with them, but i just can't recall where i read them. but anyways, i figured i'd post this text game interraction up in which i encountered a familiar female respnse to a day 2 attempt. hopefully it might help others others like it helped me. critique and analyzation is VERY welcome. always looking to improve! thanks guys!
Me: hey guess what??
(no response for a long while)
Me: hey ur supposed to say "what?" boy i'd hate to tell u a knock knock joke. we'd prolly end up just sitting there looking at each other for hours before i realize ur not gonna say "who's there?"
(she's an emoticon-er so i mirror it)HB: lol sorry i'm with 3 of my nieces--brought them shopping--a 4 yr old, 12 yr old and 13 yr old...they have my attention
Me: phew! thank God...i was beginning to think u were one of those kids in school that would bring a hot pocket or a ball of lint to show and tell. just remember to ask me "what?" when ur free
HB: lol okay.
(later on in the day)
HB: so what happened? (referring to an intro i used earlier "ur not gonna believe what happened to me!")
ME: it's kind of a long story so i'll have to tell u in person. but hey guess what??
HB: OMG what?!?!!! (sarcastic little brat...love it!)
ME: thanks for the superfluous punctuation!!! it adds so much more excitement to what i'm about to tell u!!!
ME: well anyways...i have an overwhelming urge to hang out with a ginger this week. so what are u doing wednesday? (she's a smoking natural red-head)
HB: lol i don't know. i'll get back to u--may be having a get together with a couple of friends that are leaving for University this weekend. Not sure. Just depends.
HB: ...i can let u know sometime tomorrow for sure
okay...so if i agree, i lose value. but i also don't know her well enough to request she blow off her friends for me
(we only met once at the bar last month. she took a 2 week vaca a few days after and my schedule was busy when she got back. but i pinged via text enough to keep the chase going).
panic, breathe, relax....game on.
time to frame shift. i'm the prize. give me that damn hoop BEEEYOTCH!
ME: hmmm...i can agree to those terms but only under one condition....actually make that 2 conditions...are u ready?
HB: i'm ready...let's hear it
ME: okay...1st: as soon as u find out, i'd like you to call me to tell me instead of texting. i've put up with u for this long. so it would be a nice gesture
HB: Done
ME: 2nd: when u do call, don't start out with "hi. what's up?" or any generic greeting like that. it's boring. i want u to say something like "hi sweety! it's good to talk to u again!" because starting out a conversation with a smile is the best way
ME: oh wait...i have one more condition that i just thought about that's very important...
HB: lol done.
pause.....wait for her to re-initiate convo....five minutes later...
HB: uh huh...sure...what is it?
ME: okay...and lastly i'd like u to let me know before 3pm tomorrow. because i we'll go catch a baseball game....(blah blah blah)...so if u can't make it, that will give me time to make new plans. is that fair?
ME: agree to those conditions and i might even share my nachos with u....MAYBE
HB: thats fair - hate to burst ur bubble so soon but im taking my niece back to (city) tomorrow then going to the movies with my sister and my friend mike :/
(my last text upon re-reading did sound confusing regarding date and time of our meet)
ME: my bubble is unburstable
Plus i'm talking about wednesday. tomorrow is only tuesday
HB: haha okay ill call u tomorrow and let u know.
Me: deal
once again...any thoughts or ideas of what i could have done better. or any other playful thoughts or ideas with which u would have respnded is VERY welcome. always good to fatten our tool belts! Thanks again, guys
