I'm normally not that big of a fan when it comes down to ''facebook gaming'' because it's a difficult thing to pull off. There's no tone, no body-language, ... Since i do have a few hours a night off, i figured i might aswell make use of it. My plan is to have a simple conversation that lasts for 10-15 minutes, then close, #-number or set up a meeting depending on the strength of the conversation.
Here's a few of my conversations that i'd like to get feedback on:
CONVO 1:
(Me): Hey! When are we grabbing a drink?
(HB9): Why
(Me): You actually look pretty cute, but i want to know if there's more behind the looks.
(HB9): I dont think it's such a good idea
(Me): I don't see why not, eventually you only gain either ways.
(HB9): I dont want to gain, and i'm already dating someone anyway.
(Me): Oh, since when did i talk about a date? Always keep your options open girl. hey, you might get yourself a new friend, that's how i look at it.
(Hb9): Yeah, you're actually right
. But i dont think it's the time for that right now, maybe later!(Me): There are always opportunities you create, Gotta get out of your comfortzone one day! I'm free on wednesday, let's meet @ (place)
(Hb9): Can't - I've got to work.. But i'm not in the mood either, there's a alot inside my head going on right now
From here i switched to a more casual conversation. at first hand she didn't want to tell me what's up, i told her that i'm fine with that, that she can always talk me up if she wants. After that she threw down her problems and we had a conversation. I kept it small, gave her some hints and eventually closed because i had to go, she thanked me by a lot.
CONVO 2:
(Me): Hey (name)! I've gotta admit that your smile is absolutely gorgeous! I suppose you probably get worst random messages.
(HB9): Haha no, actually not! but it's a nice and pleasant surprise to receive such a compliment.
(Me): Yeah, it doesn't happen quite often that a smile puts a smile on my face so i figured that was worth a compliment! I just noticed you were friends with (name), where do you know him from? (Horrible switch)
(HB9): Yeah i know him from other friends.
(Me): I've been going out a lot with him lately, i'm surprised i haven't seen you around. You're pretty skilled at hiding i'd say.
(HB9): Haha!
I got the fucking ''haha''. I knew i killed it after my second sentence, i should've probably made it more interesting but i find it hard to find random topics on facebook or how to build something up without putting them off. Still practicing i guess.
After that, i decided to open her up again with the ''Let's grab a drink sometimes'' opener. She responded with ''Oh yeah?''. So let's see.
What are your experiences on facebook, or what advice would you give?
