| Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster. Just for some background I went through a break-up about three weeks ago and, between her (who I was with for the past year) and a girl just before her (who I was with for a year and a half) it's been a long time since I've had to really approach any girls at all, not that I was ever a master or anything.
Decided it was time to stop moping and get back on my grind, so I went out last night to a little local concert at a bar where I knew I'd know alot of friends (dudes mostly) so I knew I'd at least have fun. Only got one real approach in. HB7 (but with those giant librarian glasses and hipster fashion-style that I'm kind of a sucker for) standing near the front door of the venue later in the night. I asked her what she was doing, she said waiting for her friends, I told her I thought she needed to make better friends, bla bla bla then we just generally started chatting for about ten minutes until her friends came out, just telling stories about our landlords and stuff. Number closed as she was leaving with her friends.
Then via text:
So first Last Night just shortly after we parted ways:
Me: "This is a VIP number. Keep it safe -Tyler"
Her: "I will"
Her: "You're cute"
Me: "You are absolutely adorable, definitely my favorite 'Teri' I've met lately ---- (When I took her number I said "Most girls named 'Teri' throw temper tantrums if you spell their name wrong so I'm going to need you to enter this for me" and she said "You meet a lot of girls named Teri?" to which I said "I meet a lot of girls in general, I'm very friendly" and she laughed, so I thought this would be cool sort of callback humour)
Her: Haha awe
Then today, starting around 3:00 PM, she'd respond back pretty quickly, I'd wait longer than her.
Me: "Bet you a drink you smiled when you got this text"
Her: "Haha damn I owe you a drink"
Me: "Guess that means we're gonna have to get together sometime soon so I can collect. I take drink-debts very seriously"
Her: "Sounds like a plan"
Her: "How soon?"
Me: I’m at work right now til about 10:30 tonight
Her: Yeah I’m at work now but only til 6
Her: And I don’t work tomorrow
Me: Very nice. Well my office is right downtown, so you could probably twist my arm into joining you for a drink. Do you like The Rook?
Her: I’ve been there a couple times ya it’s good
Me: Cool. Well it’s right around the corner from my office. I’ll meet you there at 10:30
Her: Ok cool
Now I know you're supposed to wait to message, and you're only supposed to do weekend dates with girls who've invested in you, etc. but I was more focused on just getting back into my rhythm with this one, but she seemed to bite on everything so I thought "why not?" overall I'm really happy with the interaction so far, but there's something bugging me:
It all just seems too easy. Is that just my nerves talking from being out of the game for so long? Has anyone else ever experienced that feeling? I mean, 10-15 minutes of chatting (no real kino except a high five and a hug goodbye) and 7 text messages, I didn't feel I was particularly "on fire" during the first interaction although I did have a good time. Am I just being a giant tool and completely over-thinking this one? [/i]
