| So I got chatting to this girl on the IM on match. She's an HB8, from Mauritius, English is not her first language, but she seems pretty articulate. I busted her balls on her not having a personal ad, even though she had a few pics and bits and bobs about herself and suggested we played the '20 questions' game to help her write it. Everytime she game me an answer that I liked, e.g. Me: where's the craziest place you've had sex. HB8: i've had sex in a lot of crazy places, but probably St. James's Park, I rewarded her with points. I told her that if she reached 10 points she would win a prize. She asked what the prize was and I told her a date with me, which looking back feels a bit lame... what could I have said instead? I'm trying to make the prize me so maybe it wasn't that bad?! Anyway, this is what happened next.
HB8: What's your type?
Me: Tall, blonde and extremely attractive (She's 5'6" and Mauritian... tall and blonde is not my thing at all, but thought she would wanna know why I was chatting to her if I said the exact opposite of her)
HB8: But I'm not tall and blonde, why are you chatting to me?
Me: You have a sexy nose
HB8: Haha. Thanks. I've not heard that one before.
Then we talked for a while about random stuff and then I decided to #close.
Me: Right, I've gotta go. Send me your number and maybe I'll give you a ring.
HB8: MAYBE??? I don't do maybe. Honestly...
Me: Haha
HB8: I have to go too, I need to try on a few outfits for tonight.
(This is when I was really lame!!!)
Me: Here's my number XXXXXXXXXX send me a pic of your outfit and I'll tell you if it looks good.
HB8: I can't do that... my fone is crap!
Me: OK, no worries... enjoy!
So that was the end of that conversation. She had my number and I thought that she would get in touch if she was interested. This convo happened around 2pm. About midnight I noticed she was online and chatted to her.
Me: Sup? How was the theatre?
HB8: It was really good thank you, although not as good as others.
Me: What did you see? Let me guess... Ghost?
HB8: No Betty Blue Eyes, Ghost next time.
Me: I went to see Legally Blonde with my sister a few months ago... I must've been one of only 10 guys in there. I thought it was gonna be shit, but it was actually all right.
(WOW, it's amazing how lame you can sound when looking back at things!!!)
HB8 LOL. Right I have to go to bed. Are you on here 24/7?
Me: Yeah, I'm not actually real. I'm a bot that chats to cute girls all day making them feel good.
HB8: OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: You got my number?
HB8: No
Me: I'll text you it
HB8: How will you do that? I don't remember giving you my number.
Me: Tell you what, if I can guess the first two digits then will you give me the other 9?
HB8: OK
Me: Right, I reckon 0... and... 7
HB8: LOL, everyone knows them! How about the last two?
Me: I said I'd guess the first two and you said you'd give me the others.
HB8: Listen, I don't know why we need to swap numbers. It's obvious you're not interested in me. And it's obvious you're just bored - that's why you're chatting to me!
Me: I'm really sorry if I gave you that impression. Was it the tall and blonde comment?
HB8: No it was everything
Me: I feel like such a tool
HB8: Nite.
So how do I get it back from here? What did I do wrong? I'm guessing that my teasing and IODI have led her to believe that I'm not interested at all. How can I show interest in the future without coming across as desperate? I feel like I tried getting her number far too much. Is there any way back???
