Last month I messaged back and forth with an aloof HB9 for about 1 week, asked if she would like to trade numbers she declined, then the conversation fizzled.
Re-contacted her a few days ago. The following ensued: --------------->
I would appreciate any input. Next course of action?

Last month I bought a motorcycle - it's become my new girlfriend, but she doesn't mind if I cheat.
What is going on that's crazy?

Motorcycles are scary!
But I suppose it's a cheaper ride. Lol!I've been dealing with a lot of loss in past few months. Had to put my horse down. Had him for 21 yrs. Then one of my best friends died in a car crash. Now my grandma died. Got a second dog. Probably not what you expected to read eh? I've got a lot of redefining to do in my life! Partly why I figured I'd stop hiding here.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Down the road, when you've redefined what you need to, maybe then we can become aquainted.
[showing I am empathetic, not trying to fill a void, also not too eager, have other options etc..]

Redefining is a long process. The hardest part is not being a horse person anymore. But it gives me more freedom. So you've changed up your profile since we last chatted. Have you been having good or bad experiences on here?

Both.
I'm not going to beat around the bush. I think you are unique and I find that desirable. These Emails are so impersonal. I would like the opportunity to take you out for a drink and meet you in person. I think we'd hit it off great. You are welcome to message me back here or at XXX-XXX-XXXX *****

I'm XXX-XXX-XXXX.
Maybe I'll shoot you a text in a bit. I'm currently doing housework & attempting to find places for stuff I inherited. Hope you are having a nice day!
