Sticking point in text/online message games

[Guest]

Overall, this exchange is much better. See some comments below.

Aww you're cute. You are grumpy because I said bi girls are cooler. :P
As long as she is funny and down to earth, I don't think I would have a problem. I think you possess those two traits which is a good thing.
Are you hitting on me? ;)

=====HER=====
Oh well...I guess you'll never get a chance to see mine either. SO haha...and I'm not bi so don't you have a problem with that?[/blockquote]

She is testing you here and you jump right through her hoop. You basically are qualifying yourself and you wrote way too much for one text. The first part of this message is good. I would have stopped after the teasing part.

haha dork! I look Asian, but I am from outer space. I'm good friends with Clark Kent the superman. My planet is close to his planet. Unfortunately, I don't have alien accents. I can't tell you about my super powers though. It's a secret.[/blockquote]

I like the idea here but you wrote too much again...it looks like you are trying really hard to be funny. The rest of the convo is pretty good.

Bonjour :P

This one is much better. The only thing is again to shorten the text on the first one

Are these girls you met before or are they online sarges. I don't do the online stuff unless it is a girl I met and then found on Facebook. I think hitting on random girls on the internet can come off as creepy so you need to be pretty good to pull it off.

[Guest]

yeah those were reandom girls online. i only tried 2 text game on a girl I met in person because I just got a text plan from t-mobile not too long ago. Before that, I had to call them... It was a big disadvantage coz girls don't like to pick up their phones if they don't know who it is...

[Guest]

If you ever end up not having text again have her give you her phone and program your name and number in her phone. Then call your phone with hers. Now it is not a number she doesn't know

Most of your responses don't make any sense. It's as if you've got a handful of canned responses or types of responses and you're trying to lead the conversation in the direction of being able to use the responses. This isn't a bad thing necessarily, except for the fact that this isn't how real conversations work. The are spontaneous. You've got to learn to go with the flow. Trying to direct a conversation is like herding cats...sometimes it'll work, but Jesus it's fucking hard and you've got to have a lot of stuff go your way in order to be successful.

Don't ever tell that "my friend almost died story" again, this was horrible. No offense, I've had some really horrible stories that I'll never, ever tell again. This one is one you should bury deep in your closet with the rest of your skeletons ;)

SP gave some great advice as well...shorten up your responses and mirror the length of hers.

Usually, her responses will be really, really short...you've got to learn how to communicate with fewer words.

Kudos for maintaining the strings though, that's a small victory in and of itself!
