Conversation #1:
Background info: Me and Just/Us picked up this girl at Northpark on Saturday. I got her # because statutory rape apparently doesn't fly with Just/Us. I'll call her Rainbows (because that's her nickname that I gave). So we pick up rainbows and her friend. We stay in set about 25 minutes and their friends come up so now we are chill with their whole social circle basically. I text Rainbows the next day using inside jokes from when we were chatting.
Since this is the first convo I'm posting let me clarify some things.
1) Everything I post is exactly how it was texted. Punctuation, capitals, spelling.
2) Times will be included in certain responses to exemplify certain points I'm trying to make.
3) These are the exact conversations with names changed.
4) Everything I post is stuff I say. I'm not going to take conversations off the internet or something, though I may use certain routines I've learned.
5) I will try to provide clarification for things you won't understand unless you were there.
Skepsis: Hey Rainbows. How's being Irish?
This is humor from the set. She was wearing a shirt with rainbows on it and I actually commented on it. I use rainbows because that comment was the hook point and we dove into rapport when she told me she was Irish (actually, I guessed she was, lol)
Rainbows: Love the nickname, and being irish is pretty rockin :]
Skepsis: Yea theres no way you can pull off emo... Im so pumped i get out of school all week next week!!
Again, in set humor. She looked kinda emo and got teased hard because of it. Just trying to bring back the awesome vibe we had before we parted ways.
Rainbows: Lucky!! Wait.. Why? And I probably can't, being cheery turns out to be pretty fun
I think this is going pretty well so far. She is asking me questions.
Skepsis: Haha good! I hate gloomy girls! And its thanksgiving break...a whole week to bask in the glory of the greatest meal of the year
Rainbows: Oh right, no wonder there are so many turkeys.. Yay food!! I'm so glad we've made a holiday all about food
She is making jokes, which is good. I don't respond for the rest of the day.
Skepsis (One day later): Its mcdonalds week you should come check it out!
McDonald's Week is a fund raiser for Austin Street Shelter where all the purchased food from the week will go to the Shelter. It's a massive get together so I figure it's non-threatening and won't be awkward.
Rainbows: Hm... McDonalds.. Ew :)
Ok well I don't quite know what to do about this. Is this a rejection to chill? I figure she isn't quite comfortable enough with the idea of seeing me again and is making token resistance.
Skepsis: Not a big fast food fan?
Rapport seeking.
Rainbows: No, not a mcdonalds fan :/
Skepsis: Oh whats ur favorite?
Rainbows: It's a tie between chick-fil-e and whataburger
Skepsis: Cool...Chic fil a is mine too...why do you like them so much?
Trying to figure out how she gets interested in things. Maybe its kinesthetic, she likes the taste of it, or visual, she likes how it looks, or audio, she enjoys the commercials or something specific inside the restaurant. I can use this info to start tailoring my dialogue to her form of learning.
Rainbows: Hmmm, chick-fil-e is just bamf and I guess the other one is my replacement mcdonalds :p
There are two things I notice here. First is "bamf" which is a term I exploit in my next text. The second is her repetitive use of smiley faces. I imagine when girls try to show you their emotions it means they are willing to open up to you and play with you. I use smiley faces all the damn time (except in this case because she is doing it for me) because when the girl starts to reciprocate I know I'm in.
Skepsis: Haha bamf! Nice dane cook!! I saw him live when he came to town! He is THE burger king
Drawing commonalities. Now I have a good anchor whenever I need to say something funny, just whip out the dane train. I actually do love dane cook so this chick will be so easy. Haha.
Rainbows: Cheya!! Oh awesome, and the burger king and kool-aid are the funniest
Rainbows: And creepy guy at work
She loves me. But I still need to find a way to start working my day 2 in here. I don't know quite how to get at this unless I just flat out ask. Time to field test...
More to add later. This just happened 10 minutes ago.
