Was just having some fun hittin on a girl on facebook. Here's the chat.


Me

1:54pmJessie

1:54pmMe
just got bombarded by a bunch of women hitting on me, I told them all I was busy, but now im bored and looking for a chat

Jessie
Hahaha, happens to teh best of us

1:55pmMe
happens to me everyday

gets frustrating for me sometimes

Jessie
Haha

Dont even go there with me

I'm a pretty young girl who works in town A

I get hit on approximately ever 30 seconds

1:56pm

1:56pmMe
Well Im a handsome young lad working in town B(our real towns were used in the convo, but I will protect those here)

I get hit on approximately ever 25 seconds

i must be doing something better than you then ;p

Jessie
Or I'm just better at death stares

1:58pmMe
So say you were giving me a death stare, what would that be exactly?

1:59pmJessie
I would narrow one eye, tense my face muscles, and look directly into your eyes.

1:59pmMe
1:59pmMe
Sounds like a lot of work, if you want to just loook at me you don't have to come up with such foolishness

Im used to it by now, so its ok
Jessie
Nonono

the death stare is so that you know I don't want you looking a me

2:01pmMe
Well then I know I am never going to see this death stare
Jessie
pfffffffffft

Excuse me?

2:02pmMe
Well, if I were to like at you, that would be a pretty big ego stroke for you. You wouldn't want me to stop

Jessie
Oh enough.

Get our head out of your ass

*your


I knew this was a shit test, but I still had no idea what to do with it. Any recommendations on what you would do here. This pretty much killed me for the convo.

This is why I'm largely against text game, fb gaming, etc. YOu cant convey tone or body language in typed sentences. In person you could have said that in a cocky/funny manner that would be easily recognized. all you have to do is add a smiley face and an lol to you're ego stroking comment and 90% of people will get the idea of what you're trying to say. That being said, you also don't know if she was joking around with you or not because written words dont carry tone of voice.

Honestly, I'd not think too far into it because its harder to interpret than if it was a spoken conversation.

Fuck it. I honestly wouldn't even worry about that being a test or anything of the sort. Like Z-Wrex said texts are very hard to read. For all you know, she was fucking with you as well.

I shot myself in the foot royally yesterday while texting. I came off as arrogant and cocky when I was trying to be playful. I can't comment on that conversation specifically, but I know I will avoid really amping anything up over computer/text if the girl isn't very familiar with my personality.

Thanks guys. I was just reading some shit here, and decided to practice a little.

Haha that was funny. Practice the skill of being natural.

hahahahahah that wasnt a shit test, she was just being honest read what you said in that convo 3 times and think about it... with an ego that big your head should explode.
you were so focused on being witty that you shot yourself in the foot
better luck next time

Getting there, maybe I went a little too far here haha
