Me: Jersey shore = best show ever. So trashy...but can't stop watching it
Girl - 2 hrs 20 mins later: Haha oh really?
Girl - 1 hr 56 mins later: Damn, I just saw your text from the other night. I don't know if I could do dinner next just because I'm kinda busy with the lab for the next couple of weeks but how about we meet up for drinks?
Me - 13 hrs 7 mins later: I'd be down. What's your schedule like next week?
Me - 4 days 5 hrs later: At the DMV...it feels like I'm at a live taping of the Jerry Springer show
Girl - 23 hrs 53 mins later: What were you doing at the DMV?
Me - 25 mins later: Renew my license. You still in Davis? Or Arkansas for the summer
Girl - 2 mins later: Yeah I'm in Davis. I'm going home for about two weeks to see family though. Should be fun
Me - 10 mins later: When are you leaving?
Girl - 1 hr 20 mins later: The end of the month. You going to visit family this summer?
Me - 2 hrs later: Yea, end of the month too. And happens to be tornado season :(
Girl - 1 min later: Where are you going? Should be over by then in the south.
Me - 2 mins later: Atlanta. Home of the waffle house
Girl - 1 min later: Lol Lovely. Ready for the humidity?
Me - 17 mins later: Not particularly. How's Davis weather?...hot I imagine
Girl - 8 mins later: Yeahhh I think it feels good but my Coloradan roommates beg to differ.
Me - 29 mins later: Haha so you must have a lot of free time lately
Girl - 2 mins later: That's a silly assumption. Lol Labwork has just amped up to take the place of school! Lucky me. The only difference is that now when I go home I don't have another couple of hours of work to do. Sooo, bad and good.
Me - 25 mins later: Such is academia! How are your weekends? I'm thinking we should snag a drink before we both leave...and you can impress me with your latest magnolia findings
Girl - 8 mins later: Yes, I like that plan. Basically I need to redeem myself from all the shady no-texting-back-ness. Haha However, this weekend is no good. I could do drinks basically any day of the week though. As long as it's after like...7.
Me - 14 mins later: Haha.. Wednesday work for you? There's this hidden gem in Sac called Barwest that serves heavenly concoctions
Girl - 18 mins later: Yeah sounds good.
Me - 46 mins later: Cool. 8 work for you?
Girl - 1 min later: Yeah, I'll be done by then
Me - 7 mins later: See you then :)
Me - 2 days 17 hrs later: I asked my friend what keeps her up at night. She answered, "helium." Also, my friend is a balloon.
Girl - 1 day later: Hey! Okay so here's the thing, things with an ex have gotten a little complicated recently. I thoughts things were going one way but I was wrong, blah blah, blah. Anyway, I think I'd just be wasting both our time if we started anything now. Sorry! I didn't expect all this to come up.
She sent this 10 mins ago. Hella caught me off guard unsure how to proceed with this...
I'd just text her something like, "That was confusing.. did it hurt to type that out? Lol. Just come get drinks with me I don't care what else is going on pumpkin. Come have fun :)"
sent that off a few hours ago, no response yet. seems a tad eager to meet up tho, no? weird since this chick goes from displaying massive investment to dropping a bomb
What do you mean
well just seemed pushy sending that off. she never responded anyways so i'll hit her up with a different angle
Ok I see what you're thinking..
In a situation like that you need to be super dismissive, super nonchalant, and strike while the iron is hot. In my experience, two days from now she's anchored down. Regardless, your text didn't do any harm, it set up a good frame for the future regardless.
