Me: Drinks on me for the entire night if you remember my name
Her: Sorry Thumper just got your text. It was nice meeting you
Me: Damn you're good. Let's do a wine bar on Friday
Her: Sorry going camping maybe we'll run into each other again
(At this point, I took it as a no go and was ready to drop the number)
Me: Temecula is a small town so it's possible. Take care
Her: Oh and thanks for flattering me
Me: Pretty sure lip locking is a lot more than flattery
Her: Too funny. Guess you're right

Well thanks
Me: LMAO. Take care
Her: You too
There you have it. Decided to try something new and it didn't work out. The whole flattering thing makes me think she just got out of a relationship where she felt unappreciated or something because she was an easy HB8.
My normal plan for a day 2 is to send an initial message, fluff, then offer a date. If she says no at the offer, I simply say "OK" and leave it at that. If she doesn't offer up another alternative, then I drop it.
I tried to convey the same emotion into this routine, but it just didn't seem to work out the way I thought it would. I still like the concept though, so will play around with the wording until I get something I like.
