Hi, mates,
As usual my stuff is long, a lot of context to give a proper overview, so please read through if you want to comment. Cheers, mates.
About two weeks ago I went to see a local band at a bar where I’m friends with the owner and have social proof. I don’t go there very often but that night the former bar tender (who resigned) was helping him out. I never paid much attention to her, I think she was in a relationship with the other bartender. Not anymore apparently. Anyways, we were chitchating, turns out she's a sci fi fan and now reads Frank Herbert’s Dune. Told her I read 6 of them, she said oh, but there are like 10 books. I’m like ”Are you sure?” Concert starts, I’m focusing on the show but catch her with the corner of my eye checking me out frequently - I’m sitting at the bar on a corner, not facing her. I am there for the concert, after all.
She goes to the computer, starts browsing, then comes back to serve people. Band takes a break, she bolts to the computer, leaving a customer hanging and tells me “Come have a look, 11 books, some written by others“. She was sort of qualitfying ot me, which was good. Mind you I didn’t make an extra effort, but was funny/slightly cryptic - I can tell she doesn’t know what to make of me. During convo I tell her I'll send her a link with a great short movie - Vonnegut's 2081 (a must see for everyone), to prepare her for the book (a Roald Dahl hardcopy). She FROZE a bit, I noticed some hesitation there, then she fervently writes down her email address on a napkin while I shamelessly checked out other hotties T&A.
After the show I waved goodbye to everybody left as friends were waiting somewhere else.
This was friday, two weeks ago. Four days later I shoot an email. Here are the email convos, I might have fvcked it up somewhere but can’t really say where. She was prompt enough with replies, hence the time mentions.
Me: “Mornin’ You will soon receive the movie link via wetransfer. I want you to give me feedback after watching, somewhere between 3 and 200 characters instead of thank you.
Enjoy
My name”
Her, 2 hrs later:
“Hello
Indeed, it shows a physical perspective over the concept of equality. However, the all people are equal thing, based on mediocrity... it’s declining for the human race.
It was a pleasure.
Her name”
Me, later next day: “Nice insight. You get an award with good vibes (I sent a pdf short story, sad but with a twist). It’s attached. Let me know your thoughts.
Enjoy” - I might have tried to qualify myself here by asking her oppinion after pushing the book.
Her, 1 hour later: “That's not quite the good vibe I had in mind. The poor old man died ...
"Some day I vill baint a masterpiece, and ve shall all go away." - she quoted some of it
Me, 5 hours later: “Aww, you thought it’s Disney stuff. I’m insulted ”
Her, 15 minutes later: “I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.
And if by "Disney stuff" you mean: "And they lived happily ever after" … yes, I thought it was Disney stuff.
I do appreciate and understand the concept of dying for Art’s sake .... but I can’t call that a good vibe.
Again, I an sorry if this is insulting.
Note: It was a very good short story.”
Me, next morning: “Whoa, easy there, Bucko! I was not aware you have such a strict policy against teasing. I feel so insulted I don’t even know what to do next: take you to court or take you out for a beer ” - I don't feel I went overboard with the bashing here...
And radio silence ever since. I detect either a sh1t test either low interest or lack of a sense of humor.
Note: current FB looks slightly better than the bartender chick However, I never gamed bartenders and I want to do it.
I consider shooting another email, something in terms of "Let's go to x place, x day" and then drop it if no reply.
