Me: So I met this really amazing girl the other night, hopefully she lives up to all the hype. (4:06 PM)
I don't really like this opener. First of all, I feel like you're giving her way too much way too early. I mean, you don't even know her and you're referring to her as "really amazing". I realize that it's kinda tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be taken literally, but still, I'd prefer something more playful. Also, it kinda comes across like you have some expectations about this whole thing which may make you appear needy or clingy.
I'll defer to your judgement if you really felt like you could get away with this. After all, you were the one there talking to her all night, not me. This could be an exception, but as a general rule, I don't think it's good.

her: Guess we"ll have to seeee (4:56 PM)
meh. ok. not a lot to go on. assume she's being playful and continue I guess.

Me: And delay the inevitable? No. Let's find out right now! What's your favorite color? (6:17PM)
this is great. well done! when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. there wasn't tons to work with but you very smoothly turned it into an interesting conversation. i'm definitely going to steal this.
Quote:
Her: Purple! (6:20 PM)
now you've got her insta-responding to you. she's interested and the exclamation point is definitely a mini-IOI and shows that she really wants this conversation to continue.
Quote:
Me: Ooo wrong. Sorry but it will just never work out between us. (6:22 PM)
i like this for tons of reasons. it's funny, it shows you're not taking this conversation too seriously, and it's so ridiculous that she's never going to take it seriously or misinterpret it.
Quote:
Her: Ha whateverrr weirdo (6:25 PM)
she's still responding very quickly. you definitely have her attention and she seems like shes enjoying the conversation.
Quote:
Me: Its cool. We can still be friends

see ya later (6:40 PM)
I really don't like this. unless you had a legit reason to end the conversation, it doesnt make a lot of sense to me. i mean, she just started the name calling, so now it's on (yes, i know that it's always on). this gives you the opportunity to tease the shit out of her playfully. i might have gone with something like "you're the one who loves the color purple and I'M the weirdo? whatever you say, barney".
overall, i think you did a pretty good job, but i would have kept it going a few more messages and just left it at one 'we'd never work out' type of message.
