Hey Crew

I got an email from this very classy HB9 on a dating the other day and my opener wasnt too bad. Only problem is she lives an hour's drive away from me. Not that this is a problem for me, but I can tell from her responses that she's testing me to up the ante and be more interesting otherwise i'm gonna get shot down. I've no doubt she gets plenty of interest on the site, so I need to stand out like a lighthouse on the evening horizon from the other guys if i'm to have any chance of a number close.

She's finished her last 2 emails with statements, not questions and she doesnt begin the email with a greeting which I find a bit stand off-ish. Example after the initial opener:

Her: I'm looking for a guy who's good looking, confident, bla bla, and knows how to treat a lady. (This email was fairly descriptive in what she wants, but contained no questions)

Me: Considering I live a little more than a stone's throw from you, how do you feel about the distance?

Her: I'm not sure if i'd consider dating someone who lives where you do.

This was the email I got from her tonight, one boring line....and losing interest fast despite my reasonably sharp opener.

Anyone got any advice on what my next tactic could be to get her intrigued? I'd like to meet this girl as we have alot in common and she's a nice sort.

Cheers

What was your answer to her saying she wasn't sure about the distance?

You may have already lost this one. Before you ever send a response or an email, read it and ask yourself, does the person writing this sound confident in what they want? Asking her a direct question is not a bad thing, but IMHO you're better off stating your opinion on it first.

Something like, the distance isn't an ideal situation for me, but I could deal with it for the right person. Etc.

Keys are to sound like you know what you want, but don't make her feel like she's the right person. She can't be, after all, you hardly know her.

Hey bro thanks for the reply.

She does sound confident in knowing what she wants as do I, but it definitely feels as if she's making me earn her attention, hence no ordinary reply will suffice. I needed to come up with something original. I replied to her "Its ok I like a challenge. If I strike while the iron's hot, I bet I can change your mind".

I shall see what she comes back with.
