i got a hb8 here and my email so far. how should i proceed now?


me: Hi there,
I came across your profile and I must say I was impressed. You really
caught my eye when you talked about your big obnoxious Italian family . You
express yourself very well.
Have you ever taken writing courses?
I’m sure by now you’re getting emails from other guys that go something
like: “Hi, I just broke up with my 17th girlfriend and I’m ready to try
again. Are you lucky number 18? Let’s meet for a drink and find out!”
In any event, I’m 31, and can make a mean spaghetti
(I add spices sometimes – watch out) and I’m told I can carry on a
meaningful conversation with a person.
If you’d like to know more, drop me a line and we’ll take it from
there. I do expect some witty banter on your part though. So no
starting things off with “So... do you like... stuff?” That’ll be minus
20 points!
Talk to you soon,
Jason

her:

Heyyy

Soo ive never taken writing courses because to be honest writing bores me lol

I can most definitely make a better spaghetti ..hands down..just saying

where are you from? you definitly dont come off as a florida boy

me:Congratulations, you passed the first test you're right
I'm not a Florida boy, 10 points for you! However, it
takes more than that to win me over. I can’t give you
all my secrets yet, I just met you!
I don't know if I believe that your spaghetti is better
than mine, my recipe come from a long line of spaghetti
spinners from Sicily.
I did enjoy reading your profile, but I need to be sure
you’re not some psycho axe murdering maniac, so here
are three questions for you:
1. Are you single?
2. What are the things in life that make you the most
happy?
3. What’s your favorite type of ice cream?
(Notice how I put the “BIG” question in the middle?
That’s a psychological thing. Ohhh learning!)
Also, please note that you will be meticulously graded
on each question and should you get an answer wrong,
you will be obligated to buy me a Strawberry Banana
Smoothie. (Yeah that’s right; I’m pulling out the big
guns.)
Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend, and holiday!
Talk to you soon!
Cheers
Jason

her: If I guess where your from will you tell me?

1.new york?
2.Boston?

And im not sure about that.. My "gravy" is pretty good... 10 points if you know what I am
talking about .. (now you tell me where im from)

My answers for you..

1. I am completely single with no baggage.. I have been single for 3 years now as a choice to
find out who I was as a person..mission completed

2.things that make me most happy.. Theres a lot, I love the little things in life, smells,
sounds..im a weirdo but if I explained and went into further detail youd understand ;)and of
course my family thats an obvious answer

3. Black raspberry

me:

I guess you earned it so I’ll tell you, but don't
expect everything to come so easy! I'm from Rochester
NY; I grew up in a very stereotypical Italian
community. I love my Italian family, we always yell,
argue and laugh. I miss them a lot. As proud as I am
to be a New Yorker, I love Florida! The beaches, the
weather, and NO SNOW!
As for you! If you called sauce gravy back home,
everyone would think you were talking about what you
put over turkey and mash potatoes. But I've lived in
Florida long enough that I've know many southerners.
Now the first time I heard sauce call "gravy" was in
Louisiana, he called it "Red Gravy". So you're
southern, I just don't know if that is a gulf region
thing or a southern thing in general.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi! I know that you were
dying to hear from a sexy Italian stallion such as
myself ; ) ! Happy 4th
Cheers
Jason
P.S. did you really think I was going to end it
without giving you the scores on your three questions?
1. 10 points: full marks! I only ask because you
never know with people these days
2. 20 points: full marks! It’s the little thing in life
that makes it worth it. For me I like sound, the sound
of the ocean, the sound of the cicadas, and the frogs.
And I like to touch things, from random products on the
shelf in Target, to the fuzzy side of a magnolia tree
leaf. Now the greatest smell in my opinion is the
smell of orange blossom, I love riding my motorcycle
through the country, and catching that smell passing
the orange groves.
3. 30 points: 3/4 marks! You would have gotten full
marks if you said vanilla soft serve with rainbow
sprinkles, mint chocolate chip, or Publix birthday
cake. But I do like black raspberry so that’s why I
gave you 30 points. Oh and by the way -30 points for
calling it gravy!

her: yuckkk I hope your not a yankees fan!!

And wronggg im no southerner..im from boston! Lol we may clashh

If that's all she said, then something put her off.

And say LESS.

You are not writing a manuscript here, it's a message.

Be done with the points system too. This is not a quiz competition.

After a certain opening scenario, I think you need to act like you're 31.

Good Advice! thanks

I'd put money that the line that earned you the 'yuck' response was:

''I know that you were dying to hear from a sexy Italian stallion such as myself ''

I know what you're trying to do with your messages, but agree totally w/DonDraper. Write less, lose the points, and ramp down the energy level.

I think you can get on just fine without the points gambit....just be real.

I stopped reading after the first 2 sentences. My attention span is pretty low. I excepect girls to be even worse, thats why my messages never go ove a snetence.

i was think the Italian stallion comment is what did it too! i was hesitant to put and don't know why i did it. think there is any chance of recovery?

If it were me, I'd say fuck it, and respond back with some levity and say:

"LOL yeah we might clash but there's only one way to find out. Why don't we meet up for a drink"

Or coffee/whatever.

Don't qualify yourself or anything, ignore her yankees fan comment.

That's honestly what I would do. I have turned around stuff I thought was totally fucked online. She may not answer, or she'll say yes. Either way, you have your answer.

I think you did too much talking, and you basically unqualified yourself for her. You gave too much personality too soon. Your personality is good, too much straight of the bat can bore chicks seeing as they want to be the centre of YOUR world, not you be the centre of your world.

You did so well at the start. Keep on trying bruss.
