Met this girl, I think personality and looks wise she is a way better match for me than most. Attractive personality, we have way more things in common than most, etc. Early indicators are that this might have a shot.
She was in town as a reporter covering an event that I had a major role in. So am DHV automatically. She writes a bit about me in her story, we go out in a large group together, I don't talk to her that much (other than finding out we're from the same state) because I didn't know at the time she was an interesting person.
Run into her at the closing party for the event. She turns out to be interesting in addition to cute. I have her attention pretty much the whole night. Anyway she offers me (without me asking) for her e-mail and phone. I am funny, I am engaging. I neg and negging turns to teasing turns to flirting. Oh, only problem, she lives a 9-hour flight away now. That's cool, I travel a lot for work, I tell her I will come visit. She says yeah, definitely, but I guess realized how eager she sounds and offers me the couch. I continue to tease quite a bit. Obviously she's okay with me since she's offering to put me up in her apartment, right? Wish I didn't get that "couch" bit but I guess that's some early ASD. Oh she has a bf but he's far away, so screw him, I'm better than he is anyway.
So I have this piece of paper with her e-mail and phone number, she tells me to add her to AIM, I do. I am away for her first few messages, which is good. I do false time constraints for the first few messages ("hey I gotta head out and run some errands", or whatever) so I don't seem like some guy who is on AIM all day (which I am, because I spend my whole work day at the computer). We play some online games together. She beats me soundly (accidental DLV
) and accuses me of letting her win.But now I have to devise a strategy. I told her I'd visit maybe in February or March. How do I build up the attraction (/qualification/comfort) through AIM so that we have something meaningful when I visit for that week?
