I met this cougar last weekend and had the textbook, alcohol fueled ONS.
I've been going cocky/funny with her, sometimes to the point of being mean (calibration needed some). I want to turn this into a FB situ but, again, I'm not that great at the comfort building stage.
I tried to call her and then shoot her a msg. Text convo below:
me: turn on your hearing aid so you can hear the phone ring!
her: running with a friend. will call u back. it's my ipod, brat!
her: i forgot to call you back, hope you didn't lose any sleep
me: stayed up all night, waiting...then pictured you running and laughed myself to sleep!
her: Run forest run! It's quite a site!
----------Here for the the first time she's making herself vulnerable; this is where i need help so I'm building rapport and not squashing these girls' self esteem---so i ease up------------------------------------
me: You're trying, that's what counts
her: At least I have my charm to fall back on
What's the standard response to a woman seeking validation here?
I feel like it's been mostly fluff and think I should build some rapport, being nicer and showing more depth.
Or do I just keep going with the teasing?
