So I'm engaged in a poke war (yes, it's that childish) with this girl, she's showing plenty of IOIs, but as is the problem with all facebook chat game, it's tepid. I have trouble escalating, and more importantly, shifting to proper rapport without awkwardness. I don't want to be making myself uncomfortable or bored, and I don't want to leave her hanging.

At the moment it's fresh, so before I lose it (we're talking initially about how I'm going to beat her at this poke war and how she thinks she'll win, stupid stuff) can anyone recommend good things to talk about? Never spoke to her face to face really.

thanks guys.

"I feel bad that you'll never be able to win this. Tell you what; I'll forfeit, and in exchange, you can buy me lunch."

Don't word it exactly like that since it sounds retarded and I'm not feeling particularly creative, but you get the point. You need to get this shit off Facebook as soon as possible.

The above was Good

I was also in a poke war with a chick. BUT i never ever wrote to her on FB. Had her number and texted. DONT DO FB if you can avoid it. Get her number.
