OKC shieeet.

Cool not bad. I'd start seeding funny/interesting/competitive stuff that'll happen on the date. Make it sound more enticing. Your actual date setup was a bit dry, you want to mesh it in with your regular convo a bit better. 

^ I see what you mean there man. The whole convo seemed pretty dry/lacking in actual substance, but it was working so I went with it. I'll keep that in mind for the next few.

This next one I met up with a few days back. Had a way more conversational, less punchy vibe with this girl, but she was basically chasing from the get-go *shrug*

OKC

You bake banana bread. Damn i'm in love. 

Ha, I also bake maple syrup cake, but thats on very special occassions! So are you studying in London?

I was studying until a few months back, now I'm working. haha.

Would it be blasphemy to say I have actually never put a maple syrup cake in my mouth before? Far more inclined to now though, sounds way worth the wrath of god, zeus, ganesha and buddha. 

Ah that's terrible! You're missing out on some culinary delights there. Do any cooking yourself?  

I come from a family of african women mainly hahah. They have a funny way of reasoning why I needed to learn to cook- basically by having told me- If I ever do end up with a girl who can cook- and I get on her bad side... there's a strong possibility of me starving if I can't cook myself. haha

Short answer: Yes, I certainly can cook. Stews, soups and roasts mainly. 

Haha amazing! Sounds like very sound advice indeed. First i learnt to bake, got to uni and realised a diet of cake wasnt very sensible, so learnt to cook from there!

Hey if you're not too busy this week, perhaps we could meet for a drink?

A diet of cake sounds absolutely awesome.

...for the first few weeks at least ;P. Good choice.

Sure, drop me your number and we'll sort it out girl :) 

Haha, it was certainly one i was reluctant to pass over!

Fab :) My number is *number* x 

Text:

OKC Mass Text: What's up *name*

Hey Eli :) Nice to get back to good old fashioned texting after OkC! How's your weekend been?

Haha I had a sweet little weekend.

Saw a lot of old friends and did a lot of sillyness these past couple days. Wonderful. Yourself?

Excellent. Sounds like the perfect weekend! I sold lots of pastries in Greenwich market, which involved lots of giggles and pretending to be French haha

Haha, sweet. I can assume you ahve an adorably terrible french accent then hm?

Ah, oui, oui! Maybe I will do a rendition pour tu! Haha

*next day*

Ahh, c'est bon ;)

Little french is a beautiful thing. French bread, french fries, french kiss- the list goes on. (bleh.)

Ahh mais you are terrible! French friens, you know s'ey are not actually french?! But french allor... s'at is the french s'I am talking about! :P

*next day*

Haha :P You're a cornball. I'm free tomorrow evening, pretty swamped the rest of the week. How about that drink

Ha, sure. I can do Wednesday. I'll be working in x-place so wondering where's a good place to meet... y-place maybe?

I'm pretty keen to play a bit of pool too haha- you play at all? (Completely ignored y-place, lol)

Ha last time I played was when I was a kid - does it matter that i'm terrible at it?!

Even better, means I get to whoop your ass and give you a lesson afterwards haha. How's z-place for you?

(best logistic for me, made the mistake of asking rather than just stating, bleh.)

Sounds like it'll be very amusing! z-place's a bit of a trek for me! Is there anywhere closer to (her area) or in central we can go?

*place by the river 15 minutes from where I work* for 7-ish is better then- awesome little spot there

(Gave up on home logistics, settled on easy to get to from work- I think I was being a little cautious, first meet-up from OKC for me)

Ok cool! Mind if we make it 8-ish? Give me time to get there from work

Sweet sounds good :)

(Lots of travelling bs, she suggested another meetup place in the area, I said good "x station name", she's running late by like a half hour. I'm considering just straight up leaving- but a blatant mix of curiosity and scarcity keeps me there Lol.)

I'm really sorry Im running late as I was stuck at work! Im ready to go now and can get there for half past, if thats not too late?

Its cool. Comes to Westminster Station.

(At first I have a bitch reflex, "fuck this chick, i'm going home.", then I think... "this shit is completely normal. This shit happens to busy, working people- plus I haven't fucked in a month.". So I send this.)

Ok, on my way!

We meet up, I take her to my pool spot. There's a private party going on and it's completely closed off. Fuck. She says she saw a little ice skating rink about 2 minutes walk away... I can't skate for shit. I monologue about my last skating horror story when I bust my nose- she brings up the fact that she was willing to play pool, despite being shit. It resonates with me, and I agree that that's a good point. So I balls up and we go skating. Convo about travelling, how water/ice does NOT go well with african people- talk about my trip to poland and going skiing. Then we ice skate. I fall multiple times and everytime drag her down with me. It's absolutely hilarious, great fun. We go for coffee afterwards, chat, makeout, get a bit physical, she compliments my kissing skills and chat some more. Then home time, both got work early morning, both at least 40 minutes travel from home, she lives about 1.5 hours away from my place, tubes run for about 20 more minutes- shit logistical location. Rookie mistake number 1.

*next day*

Hey, how's it going? Develop any impressive bruises from iceskating?! :P

yadda yadda.

Update on girl from the first post. Some insight would be nice.

Current go to re-engagement text..

Check out who was sitting in my seat on the bus today dork
[ Send a photo of an awesome Barney plushie I found on the bus ]

Looooool hahaha dorkkkk

( I give her a call a few minutes after she'd replied, can't be fucked to text, no answer )

Can I ring u in a bit babe still in work having a shitty time x

It's cool beb, ;)

What u up to tonight x

( I gave her a call shortly after recieving this text- feel like I missed a trick here. Had the feeling she was down to meetup. Fuck it, either way, had an awesome convo- spoke about my day and hers- just showcased my chill little self and my love of cartoons is all. )

The following morning:

I went to bed when I got home ,
hope u have a good day :) x

No worries, cheers beb
No zombie today dork ;) (callback humour)

Nope I'm funky fresh today :O :O :O

Haha, Funky fresh ay? Show me dork

( Had a hankering for some shots. )

I can't take selfies at work babe [ face covered smiley ]
How was cartoons (callback ish)

Lol. Be sneaky. (Should have stopped the message there. Raised a little tension. Didn't. )

I love a good cartoon haha
Only time my cousin stops talking is when we're watching cartoons- funny kid

What's ur favourite, we were all like that as kids x

Right now, adventure time. So good.
I picture you as that little girl in a tutu.

In a tutu hahahahahah ( some smileys )

*got bored, stopped texting, went to boxing, yaddda yadda.*

Re-engaged again a couple days later, text back a forth for a little, then invited out/schedule-

Lol death by snusnu. (Apparently she's like a 6ft blonde amazonian chick. Apparently.)
Show me, dork, What're you up to next week?

nada

Re-engaged a few days later, texted back and forth, invited out, nada.

Worth keeping chipping away at it until I stop getting replies? or is there something i'm not seeing here?

Not bad stuff. I like the effort it lookss like your meeting a ton of girls but It seems like all these girls you are texting are fading off. No meetups. Is that true? 

Cheers man.
I honestly don't think that's the issue at the moment though. Got 2 meetups lined up this week, 1 on the weekend.. got to admit they're not feeling super solid though- despite having a place and a time

This chick in particular just seems to fluctuate and it's new to me. Super responsive but shuts down at the mention of meeting up.

Yeah thats exactly what Im seeing. I can just tell through your texts that these girls are not gonna meet up. I see that you are lining up dates but what I was asking is are you actually meeting up with them?? And if so how are the dates going?

Well, looking at the track record right now bro:
Texting 5 or 6 girls right now, I've only met up with 2 of the 6, and of the other 4 I've got 1 who I havent pinned down for a meetup, and 2 I'm supposedly meeting this week.

The 2 dates I've had have gone decently. Neither of those got past making out and light touching though. Got a day 3 with one of the 2 today. Salsa ;).

Nice

Lol so apparently the snusnu chick I updated on in my last post blocked me on whatsapp. Not to mention I've had a couple flake-outs this week. Big Cat, bro, your intuition seems to have been about right so far hah!
Couple more scheduled this week. I'll post up the rest of snusnu girl in a bit.

Eli make sure that in most of your texts unless there's a lot of momentum between the two of  you, that you're adding some kind of zinger in there that compels her to answer. Yes at first you'll be mulling over these things, but soon it will just become you. 

Cheers, I get you there man. Yeah, it sometimes does feel quite an effort to be pushing for punchlines- but I get the logic behind it. Hooking the reply and all that good stuff. Like everything else I suppose it's just forming the habit. Out tonight, tomorrow evening, and monday night for meetups- Let's see how this shit pans out.

I'm finding a little trend developing though. The girls I've gotten on the phone/dropped voicemails with and not purely texted are hitting me back up to organize time/place for the meetups- or trying to fit me into whatever busy christmas schedule they already have going on, rather than me pushing forward independantly. Saying that though, the rest of the snusnu girls' shit is posted below- had her on the phone a while back- hooked her for a couple days, then I got hungry for the meetup clearly hahah

What's up pop?
I made some glorious chocolate yesterday girl

( Send photo of the GLORIOUS chocolate that I made )

Ooh wow
!!

How you doing this beautiful Saturday girl?
and how exactly to people usually shorten your name? It's bugging me.
Name, name, name, name. It's impossible.

Issy loooool
*Smileys, can't look face*
Or mains

Issy rhymes with sissy (Callback humour, some rap convo).

I'm working :( what u doing

Im jus sayin.
Lol
But touche.

Hahahahah
It sure does
Mmhmmmmmm
Sissy rhymes with sassy
U feel were this is going

(This message genuinely baffled me. I immediately thought pussy. Yep. Pussied out of expressing that clearly though.)

I do. When d'you get off work sassy?
ClASSy-
Man, all I'm really seeing is 'ass' at this point.

Ass ? Hahahaha
I finish 10
;(

A buddy of mine has rented a bar up in xx for his birthday- you should come down after work and show me that sass if it's not your bedtime girl

Lol maybe babe

Hah cool sissy

(This is where I go all PULL, PULL, PULL. Get impatient.)

Maybe means no though ;). I'll pick you up from xx if you change your mind.

So you do shoots 7 days a week is it?

Nah I'm working in xx today boo

Oh yeah? You're literally round the corner Issy, I'll ring you later- read you your bedtime story

I give her a bell later, no answer. I leave no voicemail message- was mid-party at this point but should've just bullshitted a fairytale or suttin- would've been entertaining. Lesson learned, always leave a voicemail.

*Like a week later I text*

Yes sassy, what's going on girl? Thank fuck it's friday.

*blocked from this point*

Yes I told you before during our sessions, you have an incredibly attractive voice. Fucking bonkers, I'd be leaving every girl imaginable a voice mail. 

Im not saying its impossible but the only way to recoup this is to leave a slick ass voice message. Just be calm and cool talk about your day. Call up a girl who is a friend and talk with her for a bit before you do it.

You did bounce back pretty well with the ass part in the texting. There is still a hint of neediness. "I'll come pick you up and take you to this bar" Just tell her to meet you there. Remember you dont need her. If she responds with something like, "Ok but how will I get there" then figure out a plan for her, get it? Pulling and banging girls requires quite a bit of problem solving sometimes. Defo takes practice. They want a man to lead the way. So you will have to figure out her dilemmas for her a lot of the time. Know what Im sayin?

@manboob:
I'll be making it a point to with every new and old chick I have in my little black book man! Could be good practise.

@bigcat
Jimminney-willikizzle
I feel you Cat-man. Must be admitted that I'm pretty new to this organizing meetups and whatnot.

Cheers for the hand-holding boys.

You SHOULDN'T be new to organized meetups, you should have been doing it for months now ;) 

International CAT!!  BIGG CAAAAHHHH!!!

@manboob:

NO excuses there boy haha. Yeah I should man, let's just call it playing catchup ;)

@bigcat:

CAN'T FUX wit the CATNIP SON

Quick update:

Little Gen's flailing son, eh.

What's up catsocks ;)

I might have to be the worst

Oh yeah? Why's that kid?

Might have to postpone tonight

:/

Haha cool, why

Because I'm super tired and I have work tomorrow and I woke up late so look shitty

Lol, It's adorable that you want to look cute for me girl

Hahaha

Haha It's all good btw beb, I'm in no rush if you're not comfortable-

Thanks.. It's not that it's just like I'm not that confident so i'd at least like to look decent

Ehhh.. yeah, me-no-know.

Could wait a few days to hit her up. Or talk to her on the phone now and kind of give her a "preview" of what a date with you would be like

Done and done, left a voicemail- Cheers son ;)

I called, no answer to left a voicemail just saying what kind of place we were going to, why I like it so much, talking about why I've been playing so much fucking pool recently and yadda yadda.

After she missed the call and before she heard the voicemail she sends:

Sorrry!

Lol, no worries. Left you a message ;)

After she's heard the voicemail:

I'll ring you after work?

Sure, sweet :)

Potent shit man.
