All is said and done, you gamed online well and you got yourself a date. You set a time and place, and she says "great, I'm excited to meet you!"

What would be the best response to that?

Obviously you can't say "I'm also excited," especially if she's an HB8+
You could respond with something cocky: "You better be!"
Or you could pretend as if it's no big deal she said it, act like you hear it all the time and respond the same way you would to "see you tomorrow."

What do the more experienced members of this forum think?

I go with "see you tomorrow". I never like showing to much interest. But you should never base on what you say on how attractive some girl is. So what if she is an 8.

Sure you should.

Negging is a prime example. You don't neg a 6, you do neg a 10 - multiple times.

I'm with Jurupa on this.

A neutral reply I think is best for a 1st meet/date. It shows that meeting girls is an everyday normal event - why get excited. She has to prove herself to you ON the date.

If it happened before a 2nd meet or later just play cocky funny or even give a neg.

Regarding negging. I think negging is done on what you perceive that the girl rates herself. You may rate the girl physically as a 6 but detect a lot of front , she may be full of herself and rate herself as a 10, and act that way. She would need negging to get her back to reality.

I very much disagree with you. You should never base your game on the physical looks of a girl as no two girls are the same.

Her: "Great, I'm excited to meet you"
PUA: "Yeah, I would be to"
