Thanks for the info in this thread, Darth Vader. Used your opener last night on OKC, she answered in a few hrs, I replied her today and we started the conversation. She's a soft 9, I'm digging her so far, really really cute. Got her number in under an hour. I really want to improve, please critique and tell me what I did wrong and what should I stay away from.
Me: Hey .I would remove that picture on your profile.
HB8.5: Why
Me: Lol, I hope you can take a joke.
HB8.5: Just thought you were adorable and I just had to talk to you for a bit. I'm xxxx.

Me: Nice to semi-meet u, xxxxxx. Not being a lazy texter here just I'm at work. BTW, "Eat Pray Love" was one of my fave movies, but my friends say it's just gay...promise not to tell. =)
HB8.5: im at work as well. i think is better, actually. no i wont tell. Lol
HB8.5: sorry i meant to say that the BOOK is much better than the movie
Me: That's usually the case. If I knew I'd enjoy the movie as much, i would have taken the time to read it first. I'm guessing you identify with the main character a good bit...
HB8.5: lol...maybe i do. yeah, bcuz of the traveling, losing love, and falling in love. its got that nice mix! Lol
Me: exactly, a little bit of everything. Which is also the best way to live...balance. You shall be known as Liz from now on, lol.

Me: and yourself? hispanic/turkish mix?
HB8.5:was born in Xxxxxxx (ancestors from india and mongolia)
Me: wow, did not see that coming... NY is amazing, isn’t it? in terms of the people one can meet. You are very hard to read, from your pics...
Me: i mean i would have guessed anyway...after 1347 tries
HB8.5: hahahaha
