| Next moves
Hey everyone. First want to say thanks to the community for giving me so much advice over the past few months- spent too much time lurking and now I am finally registered and ready to ask the community for some help on an HB8
Just some background- just got out of a relationship a few days ago- it was long distance for a while and I could feel it going downhill for the last few weeks, so I developed a few targets prior to the breakup. Now that the breakup is “official” I am looking to move on the one I have developed the furthest for now.
My game has been rusty but not non-existent. I have revisited all the techniques and while I am not a natural, I am witty enough to make girls laugh a lot.
Anyway, this HB8 is very nice, social, and very receptive to my humor. From what I can tell, she has given me a number of IOI’s- I just couldn’t advance on them at the time (a week or two ago) for a couple of reasons
1. She has a guy friend that wants her but he is A) an AFC and B) wayyyyyy too far in the friendzone. Like 10 years into it.
2. I wasn’t officially single and if I had done anything I would have been flamed in my group of friends
So, last weekend, my first being single in a long time, I go to Great American Beer Fest on Friday- highly recommended for any beer drinkers out there- and get completely blackout. I usually never get this drunk, but this is the one day a year that you are guaranteed to be tanked no matter who you are.
After waking up with wristbands, swag, etc all over I check my text messages the next morning and to my horror I drunk texted her all night. The texts were actually not bad game on my part, and she opened up about how vulnerable she is, how she wishes I was there, etc. That was until the last message.
My last message read:
“Lindsay I’m putting my cards on the table. I want you. I am fucking perfect for you and the most awesome guy you could ever have.”
I honestly don’t remember this, but what the fuck was I thinking?
She immediately responded “Really????” but I was already gone for the night and didn’t respond.
Usually this would result in total disaster, but this is where I need some expert analysis.
The next day, I didn’t write anything back. Was this a dumb move? In the end, I think not because she texted me that night around 10 (she was still in the mountains) saying “I know you were drunk, but I love the fact that you told me, no matter what the timing was. I think we should talk about it, I’m not good at it by any means.”
I responded with a “For sure. Have fun tonight”
Convo ended there. Haven’t talked to her since Saturday night.
So what should I do next? I will see her at kickball (which is actually a great place to sarge) Tuesday where we will go out afterwards. My plan is to pull out the usual stops. I have a couple of other targets so if this is a loss, I won’t be too upset about it but I have spent a good amount of time on it, so I want to close (which is my biggest problem).
Some additional questions:
- Am I setting myself up for a LJBF talk? I am fully prepared thanks to this forum if so, just want to come into it with the right mindset
-Any analysis of her text you can provide?
-Have a suggested approach for Tuesday night?
