The preamble:

Hb9, seemingly social, outgoing, and active from her profile and pics.

Her profile description is "Giggle Giggle, snort (maybe) Giggle. thats the sound of me laughing at my own jokes. I am very outgoing with a bubbly personality. I enjoy going out but also love spending the night in and just watching a movie. I am very spontaneous and live to try new things. I admit that I am addicted to re-runs of Beverly Hills 90210 and Law & Order. Nothing makes me happier then homemade macaroni and cheese or pretty much anything made with pasta. I spent 13 years of life competitively showjumping, so an adrenaline rush is always a blast."

Me, I've been trying different styles while chatting up women online, from very direct/ casual/ obnoxious/ insulting/ shameless flirt/ friendly and unassuming. Best responses so far from shamelessly flirting and insulting. You know what they say, experience is the best teacher. Anyway, my latest needs obviously needs some tweaking. Feedback, giving your thoughts/ opinions/ what you would have said in my place, would be appreciated.

Ty in advance...

Conversation:

Me:
You had me at snort

HB:
lol youre funny. whats your name?

Me:
Michael
You're not smiling in any of your pics

(I know I could have said something witty in response to her asking my name, but my mind went blank. I know a lot of pua's dont like to give their name out too soon)

HB:
it helps to scare the nerds away, im smiling now

Me:
the snort would have them running anyway
I wonder what you look like smiling

HB:
maybe you will find out, why only one pic of you?

(This was within an hour of joining the site and I had only uploaded 1 pic, and was about to explain that, but I decided against it)

Me:
I dont want you to fall in love too soon
thats a beautiful horse, does she have a name?

(Not sure if I should have changed convo to the topic of her horse in the pic, if I should have left just the first line, expanded on it, or said something else entirely. What would you have said differently and why?)

HB:
His name was Fievel. I sold him when I went to SD for school. Lol dont be worried about me, I am worried that you are already in love with me...lol only kidding

Me:
I only loved you for your horse
Did you name your dog tanya?

(I recognized the name from the movie 'An American Tail' and was about to comment on it directly, but decided it would come off as qualifying like 'HEY we have similar interest OMG WHAT A COINKIDINK. Please love me' and go against the dynamic I wanted to set for the convo. Other than that, same thing as last response)

HB:
that isnt my dog, my dog is named mango and he has a gf named kiwi

Convo stalls from there.

Final Thoughts:

I know I could have number closed a few responses i, but my whole reasoning for joining a dating website is to practice game when messaging girls, specifically to help my text game, which I believe is my weakest point. I am comfortable with my 'live' game at the moment, and am focusing on bringing up my 'online' game to a similar level.
