Evening guys, hoping for a little advice here.

these Past few weeks I have been able to overcome my speech impediment which was very severe, it resulted in me shying away from situations, not going after girls etc. Through a speech therapy programme I have been able to communicate with people much more effectively and a lot of people have told me I seem happier and a lot more confident!

So, last Saturday I was on a stag do party and afterwards I took one of the guys to a club where all of my work friends were out for another colleagues wedding party ( I didn't go because I had already said yes to the stag do and didn't want to break my word, so I said I'd meet up with them later).
Get to the club and the 3 hottest girls wrap their arms around me and sort of scream my name, and I say 'hey u lil sex kittens' in a happy to see you voice. I lead my friend thru the club and hug and say hey to the other hot girls, they are 9's at least. We all go together to this little part of the club which is open air and after batting and introducing my bud to the group we stand and chat between us, just enjoying ourselves! Then one of the girlsof the original 3, sort of the leader of her group says one of the girls who is a friend of a friend of a girl that's out with us, standin a few feet away from me says that 'i'm really cute' and they grab Me by the arm and lead me to her, she says hey and starts talking about being spitroasted and feeling like a piece of meat. I say ' as long as it's with someone u loved it should be ok' so she says 'it was with someone I loved'. At this point, mainly from 13 hours of drinking and talking just turn away from her and go talkto someone else! So she starts talking to my friend and I talk to someone else.
Later on at this other club I am just enjoying myself and another of y friends talks to her but I'm just being social and enjoying myself. I sib down next to her and she says 'your friend really creeped me out, he just kept touching me' I say he's a really great guy. I go back to talking to the leader of the girl group about stuff then sit back next to this girl. She puts her hand on my leg, which I didn't realise since I was so drunk, she then tells me 'You are really cute you know' with the biggest grin! Her hair keeps flopping in my face so I brush it aside and she kisses me. After about 30 seconds of kissing, it felt like it was turning into foreplay as she turned her head for me to kiss her neck! This is in front of the group of friends and I remembered Reading that you shouldn't go straight into foreplay in front of people as she will associate that smutty feeling with you when she is sober. So I pulled away and said that I have to head off very soon so I'll need your number. Got it, said bye to people and she gave me a kiss goodbye.
Text her on Tuesday with 'hey, just seen your number in my phone. Did you have a goodtime on Tuesday? x' heard nothig back until Friday when she replied with 'who's this? x', then she phoned twice straight after. I couldt answer them because I was at work, when I got home I texted her 'i'm one of your five a day x' this led to 8 calls in 15 minutes from hers and another number!! Then a text came through saying 'wat are you sprout? X'! I don't reply, to give a little bit of mystery and that I have a life lol I reply on Saturday with 'haha your the sprout kid! x' and I haven't heard back.

I realise that was a lame comeback to her text but my problem is that I can never seem to say anything funny, it's always lame! Never witty!
I showed my flatmate today and he said that 'she waited all day for a reply and she got THAT! She'll prob reply tho. Probably best to tell her who you are when she does though'.
Trouble is that when I came to thinkof something witty to reply in the first place, absolutely nothing came to mind!!
Does anyone have any thoughts on wat a better reply would have been or how to become wittier/funnier?
He has also said that I try too hard to be funny sometimes and it seems forced! He is seriously good with women and he's helped in the past with things to say/do but then says she has to like you for you!! Which is true.
This girl is pretty, but I'm not interested in her like my old afc self used to be! I just Am treating it like one big learning experience!
Thanks in advance amigos.

Try relaxing, slowing down your thoughts perhaps. Its kind of weird because you hear people say, hey to be witty you have to be quick minded or (have a sharp mind) Ya know, being witty or funny is all about your creativity. Some people are naturally more creative than others, and some people are just...not creative at all (not to burst your bubble or anything) lol, but ya know some have it some don't if its not one of your strong points thats ok...just dont try to fake it...or HEY maybe your just thinking too much?! Don't think so ****ing much lol, just be yourself whatever comes to your mind say it...:up:

Thanks for the quick reply!
My original reply to her was gonna be 'well it has to be a cucumber since I'm the bloke x' but I thought that might have been too sexual too soon! Second guessing myself lol

I have spent a lot of time worrying about how my stammer will come across with people, being in a perpetually high state of anxiety for like 13-14 odd years of stammering and now I feel like I'm coming out of that and can finally start relaxing. People hve commented that I seem so much more relaxed and not as uptight!
Cheers for your reply mate.

If you break down each and every sentence to make it as funny as possible you are throwing the funny right out of the room. Funny has to be spontaneous and quick. If you are TRYING to be funny at all you are trying too hard.

There's no need to constantly be funny. Most people aren't that funny but say things confidently so people think they have to laugh. Just be confident and make the occasional sarcastic comment. A little goes a long way.

Thankyou for the reply FairShake.
I do agree with you that I am trying too hard to be funny, my flatmate has even told me this, in a constructive way.
I believe one of the problems is that most of my friends are funny/witty and they seem to make people laugh easily but that may well be due to experience.

Not making excuses for myself, but after reading up on Anxiety and its causes and effects, one of them is an inability to concentrate, a trapped in your mind feeling and feeling like your mind has gone blank! These are the things I experience when someone says something funny to me, or when that girl replied in the text, I felt like I needed to say something witty back!
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

just a quick update!

My flatmate asked me if I had heard from her and I told her I havent and I asked him what would have been a better response to her. He said "Tell her who you are!!" then its the next day, the joke is over,you cant stretch a joke out over days, you said it yesterday, today is a new day! Tell her who you are and ask her out for a drink!

My chances with this girl are probably......ok ok they're gone haha, but I have learnt something new which I can apply to my life so its been worth making this mistake :)

I have had this experience before, before I found this website, when I met this girl when myself and my flatmate were out clubbing and I stole her seat in front of her and offered my lap hah texted her a few days later, trying to build rapport when i should have went for the kill!!!

I'm beginning to realise that Real Men go after what they want, they dont walk on eggshells around a subject, get to the point.
