I got this 31yo HB9's number from online dating. Swapped a few texts with good interest on her part. Over the 4th of July holiday we were both busy with other things so we didn't talk. Low and behold she hits me up, so I make plans to go out. Perhaps this will be helpful for some of the younger guys with less experience.
Here's the text exchange:
Duke: You free Friday nite? Lets meet for a drink
Chic: Can you come to my town?
Duke: My horse would need two days to get that far. Do you have a car?
Chic: LOL, yes I do.
Duke: I'd meet you half way.
Chic: Works great for me.
Duke: Lets meet at XYZ at 8:30 tomorrow nite. That good?
Chic: Are you free during the day?
Duke: Occasionally, its tough to get get away most of the time. You work nites?
*******2 hours go by and no answer, so I was going to text another girl and get something else lined up.
Duke: Doesn't sound like that works, we can meet another time.
Chic: I can do tomorrow night. Just earlier is better so if we could meet at 7 that would be great.
Duke: It would have to be 8:30 or another day.
Chic: I can make 8:30 work.
Duke: Sounds good.
-3hrs before the date-
Duke: You still good for 8:30?
Chic: Not sure I can make it, let met get some things taken care of and I'll let you know.
Duke: Don't worry about it. I don't sit around waiting for a maybe. ;-)
Chic: Sorry its been a long day. Can we do 8:45?
Duke: I made other plans
Chic: All good, maybe another time?
I bolded the parts that let me know she would likely flake. When a chic tries to change the time, gives you a maybe, and tries to get you to come closer to her location, its never a good sign. In order to meet this chic I'd of had to drive 1hr as I live on the other side of the city from her. She probably would have shown up(she did keep countering), but I wasn't willing to take that chance.
Also, I prefer women that agree and comply to my offer, not counter like she did. We aren't negotiating a business deal! If she really thinks I am great, then she will fall right in line and won't want to take any risk in disappointing.
Perhaps she was trying to juggle two guys as well?
Most likely she saw her SMV higher than mine. Girls like this are always a struggle. Its best to spend your time, energy, and money on other more willing prospects.
Girls have been very difficult to get out on dates lately. The weather has been really hot/humid which women hate for hair/makeup reasons. Being sweaty on a date isn't exactly sexy, you don't even want to be outside at nite. Lots of other summer activities going on so their brains are elsewhere.
