Update:

I emailed, and got a positive sounding response from her.

Said she was impressed I tracked her down, and asked me a couple of questions on how I was.

So I guess Im gonna ask her to catch up sometimes in my reponse. See how it goes.

When you reply, you should give her a link to this thread, that would really impress her.

OK, it looks like I was wrong here.  Who knows, maybe chicks are moody sometimes.  ;-)

You want a quote?  Haven’t I written enough already???

I like trasferpricing but he will surely screw this up by being too nice, indecisive, and overall passive towards this girl.

The email was weak sauce but better than nothing, you need to man up and get innerpersonal son - grab some drinks / dinner this week with this lil’ tender.

Good job at least sending the email.  KEEP IT MOVIN.

No quote needed

have asked her for a drink now.

Gonna man up from now on lads!

Worst she does is not reply/turn down. Ill move on and slam some other bird this weekend then! is that the spirit?

FrankArabia's picture

this is getting exciting……..are you nervous?

transferpricingCFA's picture

Yep, to see if she responds, and what she says.

I always get nervous with the whole dating game, as you can tell.

She was impressed with you using AD to look her up? That is impressive

Update again, she responded, and suggested a day and sent her cell no. 

Date is on. 

Some of you guys might be good financial analysts, but not female ones.

Yes Transfer, you are correct, I am not a good female financial analyst.

I used to smoke pot and go to class.  

Sneak in ten minutes late with a bullsh*t excuse.  

Slink down low at my desk.  

Pray to god nobody asked me any questions.

I was the best teacher ever.

Well, there are a lot of variables that go into figuring out a woman’s signals. You gave us maybe one or two bits, so clearly there was more going on.

And I wouldn’t get too cocky about your date just yet; I’m not the one who needs to ask for advice in an online forum every time a woman gives me a woody. And a woman who alternately breathes hot and cold is not necessarily a top catch.

Still, the stories are entertaining, so we can’t be too bristly about it. And one lesson you highlight is that initiative is its own tool in the seduction kit. Kudos to you, and good luck on your date.

Not sure what all the concern was about to start with.  If she was dragging you into the hallway to kiss you at the party initially, I don’t see why she wouldn’t accept an invite to go out for a drink.

Of course, now you must communicate only through your own phones and drop the work email.  And when you go out for a drink, don’t talk about work, if you can help it.

Send her an Outlook invite for the drink.

I think that’s too personal for OP.

You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.

haha, i like the outlook invite idea!

Dont worry bchadwick im certainly not too cocky. I the initial dates, trying to find crap to talk about, but also be itneresting.

Find out where she lives and then break into her apartment. Hide behind her curtain until an unexpecting moment, then jump out and say “surprise!”.

Ohai, you forgot about dressing up in her clothes first. Rookie mistake.

Just a bra and thong though.  Anything more is just silly.

OK - update time all. So to summarize:

Had the first date, went very well, she was cuter than I remembered, the conversation flowed easily, and we had quite a few drinks. Date was from like 8 to 1130pm, so quite long for a first one. Walked her to a cab and kissed for a bit before departing.

So que date 2  we had monday night. Met and went for dinner and a couple of beers, again convo flowed, and decided to move on to a bar and have a couple cocktails. Ende dup sitting on a couch together and  making out etc. Date went from 7pm until 1am, so pretty friggin long id say.

So now just plotting for the 3rd. Shes a cool girl. We kinda talked about hooking up on sat, but I guess Im a bit insecure and I still doubt if she likes me, evne if all the the signs seem positive.

Bang her badly, then order a pizza.  Heard Pizza Hut has one with hotdog in the crust over in Europe, pretty cool.

Congratulations on your presumed dating success. What do you mean you “talked about hooking up”? I thought you are just supposed to do it. Details please.

Talking about hooking up equals:

Transfer: “I would like to kiss you now?”

Girl: “Hehe, ok…..”

Transfer: “I’m leaning in, going for it….I can’t.”

Girl: “Oh no, what’s wrong…don’t you like me?”

Transfer: “No, I really like you…I’m just a really f@ckin weird dude.”
