Scenario is that some foreign chick added me a while ago, we've not spoken until today and will probably never meet. I'm not really interested in her, just want to do some back and forth flirting, you know - get her commenting on my statuses and such to convey value to other women that I do know.
She messaged me today and this is the "conversation" thus far:
Her: hi!! ^^
Me: Hey , how's it going?
Her: fine!! and u??

I'm already bored and irritated by the way that she types and I can see this conversation dying pretty quickly. We've got a couple of band likes in common and I know she has a cat, I was thinking of responding with something like: "I'm pretty good, cheers. I see you like *insert band*, what's your favourite song by them?"
Any pointers on how to steer this thing into more interesting territory?

Good god dont put that lol.
Interview question alert! If you want to talk about that subject look at their band, find a song, and go "I bet your favorite song is *song by the band*". She'll either go "yes, how did you know?" (to which you say "You just seem like that kind of a person" and whatever else) or "nope" (to which you say "Well why not, I like it " and go off of that)
The point is anything with a ? mark at the end of it look at it and think if it can be answered in 1 word, because it probably will be.
You: "I'm pretty good, cheers. I see you like Red, what's your favourite song by them?"
Her: "Feed the machine" (I doubt she likes "Red", but its my example )
and there goes the convo. if you used what you said

Ask her how you all know eachother? Basically make it seem like she's gaming you while really you're gaming her. You're playing the pursued but really you're setting up breadcrumbs for her to chase you.

If she added you she's DTF.
Or thinks you're really cool. From somewhere?
Talk it out, keep it light.
Arrange a meet up.
You can't fuck her over facebook =D

Haha, I doubt she's willing to make a trip across the Atlantic Ocean just to fuck me and I'm definitely not willing to make the trip to fuck her. My intention is just to get her interested and use her as "social proof", plus I guess she'll be good to practise on.
I don't really use facebook as a gaming tool and I don't even particularly like talking to close friends over facebook but I figure it can't hurt for the women who add me to see comments from other women.

It really disturbs me that noone else has jumped on this but since someone has to put on the Captain Obvious cape and address the elephant in the room here it goes.

If you really want to get away from the boring, step away from the computer and go otu and meet and talk to a real live flesh and blood girl in real life.

These foreign hot chicks that friend guys on Facebook are spam and are usually some kind of scam preying on little nerdlets that think this hot foreign chick actually exists and is actually interested in them.

At some point after 'she' (it's probably really some fat, gross guy) gets you all excited thinking she is considering traveling across the world to get away from her tyrant step father to fuck you she is going to ask you for some $$ for her passport and plane tickets and shit.

Oh and this 'social proof' thing is a crock. Everyone knows about all this foriegn hot chick scams and so you actually falling for it is a HUGE HUGE HUGE DLV that makes you look pathetic, desparate and gullable.

Get a real life dude and meet some actual flesh and blood American girls that live down the street.

All I can say dude is that you only have yourself to blame: you've steered the conversation in a boring direction by asking her: Hey , how's it going?

She's not a PUA... and it's doubtful she'll be able to take the conversation anywhere interesting unless you lead her there...

Do that thing AFC adam said.

Go on FB and message 10 chicks that you have your eye on.

Say that they are really sexy and cool, and you've been interested for a while. ( something like that)

For the ones that are interested, you got a date.

For the ones that aren't interested, "Oh im really sorry, left my facebook open while friends were over and they seem to have sent it to everyone, guys and girls, really sorry about that"
