Three days later, sent out the "Happy Easter!" text to a bunch of numbers I got a response from her. That's where this text conversation starts. I thought she had Monday off so I pushed early to get her on a date - I was wrong. Was going to leave it a few days, but she texted me from work on Monday so I tried the questions game and seemed to get OK results. I really wanted a date tonight for various reasons but she said she was busy before I asked, and she's leaving town soon for a week. So, my questions are: (1) what did I do right/wrong so far? and, (2) what should I do from here out?
Thanks.
13:00 HB8 - You too!
13:38 Aura - So what are you up to today? Staying out of trouble I hope
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
13:43 HB8 - Yes, just got off from work. Picking up some goodies for my nephew.
14:02 Aura - Aww that's so sweet! And to think I had you pegged as a little hell kitten...
14:05 HB8 - Ha yeah, you told me I had a horrible personality
14:12 Aura - Naw I'm sure I didn't say that. I remember thinking you were the kind of girl my mom warned me about
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
14:17 HB8 - Ha no you said it lol
14:31 Aura - Must be why I was thinking about you yesterday... Unless it was something you slipped into my drink
14:33 HB8 - Ha is that why you found me on facebook
14:46 Aura - Must be. Ok, I'm off to the gym. Be good and I hope your nephew likes his treats! Later
14:56 HB8 - Do you work out at 24 too?
15:25 Aura - No. My company has a really nice fitness facility. They even have Scuba classes- I'm gonna sign up this summer
15:32 HB8 - Oh, that sounds fun
20:25 HB8 - How was the work out
20:41 Aura - Great. It was real quiet there being Easter. I like to go on Sunday afternoon to unwind from a busy weekend. I feel like an awful person for what I said to you at the library...
20:47 HB8 - I probably had a horrible look on my face because I was mad at XXXXX (my friend that was next to me.) But it did kinda suck. Ha
21:10 Aura - Let me make it up to you. Coffee, tomorrow night. I'll text you when I get off work.
21:11 HB8 - I would but I have to close tomorrow. I switched with someone since I'm leaving Wednesday.
21:15 Aura - So what time do you get off work?
21:18 HB8 - 1030
21:31 Aura - Yeah not going to happen tomorrow
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
21:32 Aura - You remember my friend XXXXXXX? He made jolly rancher vodka yesterday. He sent me a pic
21:32 HB8 - Ha. I do too
21:33 HB8 - That sound delicious
21:34 HB8 - Candy is my weakness :-/
21:36 Aura - [pic]
21:39 HB8 - How did he make that? I hope he did make his own vodka. That would be scary ha.
21:40 HB8 - I have made jolly rancher drinks with puckers and sprite. That is good.
21:45 Aura - Not sure. I'll have to ask him next time we hang out. I'm sure he didn't distill his his own vodka though
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
21:46 HB8 - I tired moonshine once. Ha not good
21:59 Aura - You and he should have a contest for best jolly rancher drink!
22:03 HB8 - y backseat. Not good.
22:03 HB8 - I haven't had one in awhile. Because the last time XXXXX and I made them she left the left over sprites in my car and the cans blew up with the Texas heat in m
22:08 Aura - Lol! Sounds fun. You're my text girlfriend for the next 5 minutes
22:09 HB8 - What?
22:17 Aura - As we broke up now. Sorry, it's not you, it's me. You can keep the dog
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
22:20 HB8 - It's for the best...
22:23 Aura - Now I miss you
![Sad :-(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
22:24 HB8 - Sorry, no take backs. Everything happens for a reason.
22:30 Aura - You're just causing trouble for the hot make up sex. I'm onto you... *glare*
22:32 HB8 - We shall see
22:36 Aura - Sorry honey, not tonight. I'm too tired.
22:38 HB8 - So you are a role player, ay?
22:44 Aura - Sounds like you are, haha
22:45 HB8 - Never really have before
22:47 Aura - Yeah, me neither. But don't get any ideas, I'm not a piece of meat. I have feelings too.
22:50 HB8 - And I'm a lady
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
22:56 HB8 - So tell me something about you.
23:01 Aura - Traffic was backed up going to the gym today. There was an accident and someone was being loaded into an ambulance. It made me sad that someone's Easter was ruined by getting injured like that.
23:03 HB8 - Awe that's really sad.
23:03 Aura - ...and that I had to wait and take a detour
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
23:05 HB8 - Ah
23:08 Aura - I am a humanist who believes in values centered on human well-being. Ever since I was little I always wanted things to just work out for people, and I still am bothered when they don't.
23:10 Aura - Ok kiddo, that's all the philosophy you're getting out of me tonight. I'm going to bed. You know, work and all. Later!
23:11 HB8 - Okay, night
18:33 HB8 - How was your day
19:51 Aura - Terrible. A really cute girl broke up with me last night and I couldn't concentrate all day.
19:52 HB8 - Oh no, that sounds horrible
19:54 Aura - Yeah, over text too. So cold-hearted
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
19:54 Aura - How are you doing?
20:15 HB8 - Good, just working.
20:30 HB8 - The leagues are making the night go by faster
20:32 Aura - Leagues?
20:35 HB8 - Basketball
20:49 HB8 - Odd question. How old are you
20:54 Aura - Guess.
20:58 HB8 - 26 area ?
21:00 HB8 - 27, 28
21:01 Aura - I'll tell you if you answer a question for me. Fair?
21:03 HB8 - Fair
21:05 Aura - I'm 28. Now, what's the craziest thing you've ever done?
21:08 HB8 - I thought. That XXXXX said you looked younger. Give me a minute to think
21:20 Aura - Must not be very crazy if you have to think so long...
21:20 HB8 - Um well I have ran from the police before trying to get out of a ticket. I have also have done inappropriate things in a video store during hours. I'm very adv
21:20 HB8 - enturous.
21:21 HB8 - Sorry I was doing a XXXXXX through
21:25 Aura - Haha, nice. Let's keep this going. Here's your chance to ask me anything.
21:34 HB8 - What*
21:34 HB8 - That is yours
21:38 Aura - ... What? Try again, before I retract my offer
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
21:39 HB8 - I want to know your craziest
21:41 Aura - My craziest is not best-told over text, and it's pretty inappropriate. So how about I promise to tell you another time, and you ask me something else instead.
21:44 HB8 - Okay, don't forget! What kind of music do you listen to
21:49 Aura - Lots of stuff. Southern rock is my fav. Alternative, some pop, house music, blues... I mix it up.
21:52 Aura - Now it's my turn. How many boyfriends have you had? I always get the Car-Fax before I buy
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
21:55 HB8 - Serious relationships that lasted a year plus, 3
22:04 HB8 - Give me like 10 minute closing the building
22:33 HB8 - Sorry that took for ever
22:39 Aura - Where are you, home?
22:40 HB8 - Are you still awake
22:41 Aura - Yup.
22:43 HB8 - Yes, just got here
22:44 HB8 - Favorite color
22:47 Aura - Really?? You can ask me anything and you ask my favorite color? Alright... Red, the color of passion, life, and my alma mater.
22:49 HB8 - Haha
22:49 HB8 - Dog or cat
22:51 Aura - Excuse me, I believe it's my turn. Have you ever kissed a girl?
22:51 HB8 - Number of people you have been with
22:52 HB8 - Yes, but nothing passionate
22:55 HB8 - Pick one of the last two I asked and you didn't answer
22:55 Aura - I promised you an honest answer, so I've been with 6 girls. And definitely dog- I'll give you that for free.
22:56 Aura - Better make the next one interesting. I'm getting tired.
22:56 HB8 - It's you turn
22:57 Aura - What's the best place you've had sex?
22:58 HB8 - Doesn't matter the place only the intensity.
22:59 HB8 - Ever been married?
23:00 Aura - Lol!!! No. Looking for a reason for my low count...
23:01 HB8 - Do you think you're a good kidder?
23:01 HB8 - Kisser*
23:01 HB8 - And no
23:02 Aura - Yes I do. Gotten compliments many times.
23:03 HB8 - Boxers or briefs
23:05 Aura - You're hilarious. Boxers. Who wears briefs? And you never told me the best place you had sex. I agree btw, place isn't that important but it's a nice touch
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
23:06 HB8 - First thing you notice about someone.
23:07 Aura - Not until you answer...
23:08 HB8 - I don't know. Things could get loud.
23:10 Aura - First thing I notice is someone's eyes. Tells a lot about them.
23:12 HB8 - So mine told you I had a horrible personality
23:12 HB8 - ?
23:13 Aura - Yours told me you were hiding something. And I was right.
23:14 HB8 - I have nothing to hid
23:14 Aura - You were hiding a lot of your energy, passion, and tenacity, but I see it now. That's why I'm intrigued.
23:15 HB8 - And I was tired ha
23:16 Aura - One more Q and then I'm going to bed. So make it good.
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
23:17 HB8 - Ever been skinny dipping
23:17 Aura - Not yet.
23:18 HB8 - Ah
23:19 Aura - Here's my last one: what's your deepest sexual fantasy?
23:22 HB8 - Not sure, never really thought about it honestly. I have done what I have thought about, but I'm always open to new.
23:23 HB8 - But in saying all that...I don't sleep around. Hope you don't get the wrong idea.
23:26 Aura - Not at all. Three 1+ year relationships? But it's healthy to be in touch with your sexuality.
23:27 HB8 - Agreed.
23:29 Aura - Alright, sleepy time. Dream about me!
![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
23:29 HB8 - Haha good night
23:33 Aura - You too
14:31 Aura - Do you have an evil twin? I just saw someone who looks like you.
14:33 HB8 - No sir, there is only one of me.
14:33 HB8 - I have sisters but they look nothing like me
14:35 Aura - Or maybe you're her evil twin. You at work?
14:39 HB8 - Yes
14:42 HB8 - Off already?
14:43 Aura - Nope. Just between meetings.
14:44 HB8 - Ah that sounds fun!
14:46 Aura - Sometimes my job feels like a dilbert cartoon. Today is one of those days.
14:59 Aura - You closing again tonight?
15:02 HB8 - Haha. It's never a boring moment here
15:07 HB8 - No. 8-430
15:14 Aura - Good for you. I'll be here until around around 6.
15:15 HB8 - I have lots to do before I leave
15:17 Aura - Sorry, but I can't hang out tonight. I have to go pick up a TV
15:18 Aura - Where are you going?
15:19 HB8 - Maryland.
15:19 Aura - Oh cool. Wedding, right? I was just there at the end of January
15:20 HB8 - Nj and va
15:25 HB8 - Wedding and such. It should be interesting
15:28 Aura - Drunken debauchery at the bachelorette party usually does that.
15:33 HB8 - I'm going to a baseball game too.
15:34 HB8 - Might get some interesting texts
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
15:37 Aura - Sounds like you would enjoy that
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
15:41 HB8 - You might
15:43 Aura - No idea what you're talking about. I charge for my entertainment per msg - I'll send you a bill.
15:51 HB8 - Haha I should be the one charging
15:54 Aura - ...but that's all you get for now. Have to run to a meeting. Have fun.
15:55 HB8 - I'm about to be off...so you have fun in your meeting
