Just had the following conversation on myyearbook. Would love some critique. The things in parentheses outside the timestamps are my personal thoughts. They weren't part of the conversation, obviously.
me: hello[4:15pm]
her: hey[4:15pm]
me: is there a rainbow out right now??[4:16pm] (opening with this cause it's her status)
her: no :[ [4:16pm]
me: old status?[4:17pm]
her: yea[4:17pm]
me: do u play guitar??[4:18pm] (there's a pic of her holding a guitar in her profile)
her: no lol[4:18pm]
me: haha[4:18pm]
her: tho i am gettin lessons this summer[4:19pm]
me: awesome. ive been wanting to take lessons for a long time now. using justinguitar.com in the meantime tho[4:20pm]
(an attempt at a DHV, I'm finding that I suck at DHV because to be honest, I'm not really that high value. I don't have a decent job or many good stories to tell, this is definitely a sticking point for me)
her: ohh kool[4:21pm]
me: yep[4:22pm]
me: i think so[4:23pm]
me: your kinda cute[4:24pm]
(attempt at a neg, I figure she's a hottie so it would take multiple negs, unfortunately, this violates the rule of waiting for her response and not giving her two or three IMs to her one)
her: kinda? i am cute[4:24pm]
me: modest too...[4:25pm]
(lol, not only is this supposed to be a neg, but I'm actually trying to incorporate the attitude of "I pick the women I want, not the other way round" into my attitude lately)
me: what class you play in wow?[4:25pm]
her: mage and war [4:25pm]
me: cool i used to play a druid[4:26pm]
her: nice[4:26pm]
me: how'd you get into playing wow?[4:26pm]
her: brother[4:27pm]
me: ah[4:28pm]
me: how old does one need to be to qualify as a "creeper?" as you put it...[4:28pm]
(referencing her profile)
her: 30+ lol [4:28pm]
me:oh ok. that works[4:29pm]
me: how old are you?[4:29pm]
her: lol 18[4:29pm]
me: nice[4:31pm]
her: u? [4:31pm] (indicator of interest?)
me: 25[4:32pm]
her: ah..[4:33pm]
me: smoke weed?[4:33pm]
(I realize I'm risking DLVing myself with this one. But I'm just trying to dick around, create something for you guys to critique, and see how long I can keep hotties talking to me. I don't care that I'm DLVing myself because if I'm the one choosing from the women who are qualifying themselves to me, then I'm gonna pick the pot-tolerant ones)
her: no[4:34pm]
(total DLV, lol)
me: thats good...[4:35pm]
her: you?[4:35pm]
me: never... that's why i asked of course[4:35pm]
(obviously, sarcastic, or so I thought)
her: thats good[4:36pm]
me: i'm being sarcastic of course... (it should be obvious that I do cause i asked)[4:37pm]
me:
[4:38pm]
me: do u spend all ure time raiding?[4:38pm]
(did it again with the multiple IMs! dont think this chic is into me)
her: waitu do weed[4:39pm]
(she's a quick one...)
me: yea is that a problem?[4:39pm]
her: yeah..[4:39pm]
(well fuck you then)
me: bye[4:39pm]
her: cya
I DLV'd myself because I didn't really expect this to work anyway. If this were serious I would have avoided the weed subject all together, but I was struggling to keep the conversation going anyway, and if she did happen to smoke pot it would have scored me a ton of points with somebody I have higher odds of getting along with anyway.
So assuming I'm already aware of that issue, how could I have DHV'd more better?
Is there any recovering from this, by any chance? (She was a perfect ten, and she plays wow... worth banging even though she seems so stuck up and uninterested in me)
I appreciate that I have a place to post asking things like now so much... can't wait to hear what people think of little conversations like this.
They happen to me all the time! I'll try to chat up someone on a social networking website, and the conversation will open okay, but in about five minutes I'm usually getting half-assed, one-word responses, as demonstrated above (which I could sense was where that was going, weed or not)...
