Hey guys,
Here's the scenario: Met a girl at a bar, hit it off well, then gave her a call 4 days later and asked her if she'd be free to grab drinks.
Me: "I'd like to invite you out for happy hour. I'm busy this week but how bout later next week?"
Her: *pause* "Umm, not quite sure. I'm going to be busy with midterms and papers."
Me: "Since your schedule sounds so heavy, how bout I give you a call at the end of the week and see where you're at then."
Her: "Okay."
Me: "Sounds good, talk to you later."
==End Convo==
So, the questions I have are:
1) Any ideas on what to say to secure a date on the follow up, assuming she's busy again (or says she is) due to exams weeks?
2) Next time a girl throws the "I am busy with so and so" and doesn't suggest a counteroffer/alternative date, what would be some good responses to increase your chances of scoring the date on that first call?
3) If for any reason you can't/don't score a date on the first call after being thrown the "busy" message, what would be some good responses to keep control of power without seeming desperate yet increase your chances of landing a date?
(eg telling her I'd call her back at the end of the week like I had done?, go out on a limb and suggest some days to meet up/fish for days shes not busy?, just tell her "maybe next time", and follow up with calls/texts inviting her out whenever I'm in the area/free/meeting up with friends and just seein if she'd be interested in tagging along)
Suggestions welcome!
Thx!
