Instagram Number Close + PB Tinder Tactics Revealed

So I found this super cutie on tinder a couple months ago. I didn't like her profile right away. Instead I found her IG in her description and kept tabs on that in case I didn't get the match. I didn't get the match lol. So I started following her on tinder for a few weeks and liking some of her pictures to see if she'd eventually follow me back, she didn't haha. So I figured it was time to direct message

You have to send a pic for the direct message so I thought what better to send than a pic of the real patrick bateman himself with a displeased look on his face LOL.

Here's what I messaged 

me: Don't get a big head or anything now, but you're downright cute, just had to hit you up.

me: Lol I think I caught your IG on tinder (monkey covering eyes). Haha anyways, how's your sunday been treating you

4 days later (she didn't see the message until 4 days later) 

her: Haha thank you :) what's wrong with getting a big head? And well now it's Wednesday... ANd it's going okay you?? 

me: Hahah well depends how big but eventually it is unbecoming ;)

me: Yah slow to respond miss popular eh. It's fine, these notifications are confusing as fuck

her: Haha I think confidence is nice, women are always told to be insecure ykno ? And yeah I didn't notice until now

me: Haha yah I definitely agree. I just like to tease (evil face) haha. What's your number, can we text instead

her: Very bold of you to ask so early 

me: Haha it's just a number.... NOt like I"m asking for your kidneyy, dork ;)

her: I'm just messing with you dweeb

me: Haha okay

(didn't get the number here so had to give her a bit more)

me: Any pressing questions before we leave the crazy world of IG

her: Number

Bam! Couple good things going on here 

With an over the top complimenting opener, it's great to say "don't get a big head now". It's a little teasy/accusatory. And sets the right vibe. The line about it just being a number and it's not like i'm asking for a kidney. That shit is super effective at projecting your reality onto the girl, that the number is not a big deal at all. Some people have this fucked up belief that a girl giving the number is a huge deal. It's not. So I pulled her into my frame and she responded accordingly. 

I also kinda ossilated between having that edge and being on the softer side. "these notifactions are confusing as fuck" "slow to respond miss popular" That's showing the edge. Then when I say "can we text instead" that's a lighter text. Instead of being like "we're taking this to text." Given that I have very little contact and rapport with her. Sometimes it's better not to come off too strong as that can blow up in your face. I know MW tends to do the same thing at times. But most people are way too fucking soft, it's rare that they develop too much edge.
