I'm just lookin for some opinions, I'm somewhat new to the game and have had some rocky starts with the whole "cocky funny" thing

Just got off the phone with a HB i met saturday. The conversation would have continued but my phone died on me

HB: How'd your run go ironman (I'm a triathalete and she knows this)
Me: Great, it was a breeze
HB: Aren't you tired?
Me: Nah, I'm like half machien or somethin haha
HB: ooo I'd like to see that (laughs)
Me(in joking tone): If were you, I'd wanna see too
HB: well can I?
Me(sarcastic/faux serious tone): ha! I'm not gonna put the goods on display that easy. Theres a long list of qualifications and only an elite few have em.
HB: well give me a list of the quals
Me: Maybe I will when our schedules ever get back in sync with each other
HB: well I'll see if i can meet your quals.. -click-

phone died, darn it!

I'm not sure if some of that was a shit-test or just honest IOIs. Its driving me nuts, plus I think i was coming off as too cocky even though i made sure i kept a joking tone goin

any suggestions, and useful critique would be much appreciated. Thank you

Sounds like she was enjoying your cockiness and playing right along with it. I hope you called her back or texted her later to let her know you didn't hang up on her when the phone died.

Seemed like you did pretty well

ya, if she is enjoying your cockiness keep it going until she becomes luke warm about laughing. then change the subject

beautiful execution. and i totally agree that the phone dying actually made it better. you let it get to the height of tension and then cut her off.

You did well, man. She was eating that up haha. I'm interested in how you continued it. Did you call her back, did she call you, or did you leave it as is? I suppose I would have let her contact me again, and since she seems interested, I am confident she would.

I did call her back later that night when my phone charged up

HB: Hey, whats up?
Me: nothin much, felt like hearing a sexy voice before goin to sleep, didnt expect shrek to answer the phone though (neg+ time constraint)
HB: what!? haha
Me: I'm kidding, chillax. so this weekend I was gonna help my roomate with his car...(DHV/implying i have a useful skill and that I'm a helpful/caring friend)
HB:(cutting me off) REALLY, thats really sweet
Me:(in playful tone) whoa whoa whoa, lemme finish lady sheesh.
HB:okay okay
Me: Well since he's taking the car to a dealer I decided you and I will hangout on the board walk in VB this saturday. I'm sure alittle sun won't kill ya (neg+ sloppy attempt to get her to qualify to me)
HB: alright gimmie a sec, (i can hear her flipping through some book)
HB: k, I don't have to work saturday
Me: k, we'll meet at the peppermint club, 1300(1pm) you know where that
HB: of course! Eyes Set to kill just played there! they were awesome-
Me:
Me: k, I gotta get some sleep. see you on saturday
HB: night
Me: night,

Beautifully done.
