I think you should have disqualified.
I typically prefer blondes, but you were kinda interesting....for a brunette
hm I don't think that's a disqualifier. I think it negates the genuiness he is showing by being direct in the first place. What point are you referring to that he should have disqualified westfall?
finesse:
I think you did a good job for having been direct so few times, you are a quick learner finesse, cool stuff man. I am unsure of what you did during the irrelevent fluff part, but I would hope that you were escalating physically and emotionally during that. Maybe asked her if she could do anything what would she do, and make the conversation more about her and you than her brother. You may have done this in there for all I know, so just a tip.
as far as the email I really hope you soid or you are very likely to get lbjfed. When being direct make sure you show not only your emotional interest in her, but also your physical interest in her or you will get lbjfed.
hmmm bedtime I may finish my thoughts on this later.
