Alright, I found a solid HB9 on okc. She definitely had bitch shield on maximum in her profile, but I played cocky-funny and expertly negged her. Too bad I deleted the convo like a dumbass, because it was fucking surgical. Once I got her number, I rewarded her with stuff straight out of David D's book (for fun), and thanks to google voice for the transcript:

Me: I'm onto you. I know what you're really like... 3:09 PM

Honey Bunny: Oh yeah? what am i like.... 3:20 PM

Me: You may act tough, but you're actually really sensitive inside. If someone makes a negative comment to you, you might act like it doesn't bother you... 3:26 PM

Me: But you'll think about it all the way home. Secretly you're as sensitive as a little girl...it's just that most people never get to meet that part of you. 3:27 PM

Honey Bunny: Thats only true in some cases 3:54 PM

Me: That's a shame, you're kinda hot. But I like girls with a sensitive side. 5:41 PM

Honey Bunny: Everyone has a sensitive side. I just put on a really good front until you get to know me 5:55 PM

Me: Well I see through it, young lady! Join me for drinks on Friday at 6, I'll let you know where the morning of. 6:45 PM

Honey Bunny: Friday is terrible, i have to work til 8 8:27 PM

Me: I have plans at that point. Oh well, I guess you'll have to try and have a fun Friday night without me. :-P 12:08 AM

So, as you can see, I tried to make plans with her. Focusing on logistics is way too difficult to do via text. If I spend too much time worrying about them without sufficient attraction, it can kill my chances. In this case, I'd rather slip in a subtle social DHV and let things slide until next time. I tried not to be too available via text, nor in person. I actually had plans, but they fell through the day of, momentarily:

Me: My original plans fell through tonight. If you want to meet for drinks after 8, I'd like that. 3:56 PM

Honey Bunny: Well i love being your backup plan. Ill be at bilmar at 10 if you wanna come drink 7:31 PM

Me: Sorry, toots. I gotta give you a raincheck on that. But it expires by next weekend. 10:08 PM

Honey Bunny: Thats fine. btw whats your name 10:09 PM

Me: FLPUA. Yours? I've just been calling you Sensitive. :-P 10:13 PM

Honey Bunny: Honey Bunny. & im more sarcastic than i am sensitive. 10:15 PM

Me: I couldn't tell, you've been sweet as a button. :-D Listen, I'm busy all day tomorrow, and unless you want to go to distant town with me, let's grab drinks Sunday. 10:34 PM

Honey Bunny: Sounds good. Where in local area do you live 10:40 PM

Me: intersection Why? You want to come over, don't you? :-D 10:52 PM

Honey Bunny: Just wondering if we were neighbors 10:53 PM

Honey Bunny: We're not. 10:55 PM

Me: You're now Mrs. Rogers. Won't you be my neighbor? 11:47 PM

Honey Bunny: Ohhhhh kay 11:50 PM

Honey Bunny: Wooowww sure ur not taken 12:00 AM

Me: Sure as sunshine. That's how I like it, Mrs. R. :-D 12:22 AM

Honey Bunny: thats how i fuckn like it too 12:36 AM

Obviously, logistics were fucking with me that week. I had already made plans, and at this point I'm surprised she stuck with me, and I inserted another slip n' slide (just came up with that, lol). The last few texts were my pathetic attempt at being funny, but I stuck with my frame, even when she was in super sarcasm mode and I felt like AFCing it up. Here, another failed attempt at meeting her, just before V-day, and I even suggested meeting then, too:

Me: Hey! I'm down for drinks tonight if you are. Have a great night. 5:43 PM

Honey Bunny: Hmm what time, im about to do a ton of laundry 5:51 PM

Me: 9 or later? I'm pretty comfortable right now, so no pressure. It's been a long week. I'd rather just head to your place with some beer/wine. 6:01 PM

Honey Bunny: Ok well i gotta work at 630 in the morning but ill text you when im done with laundry 6:04 PM

Me: No way! I want to see you in your jammers, the real you. I'll wear mine and we'll have a slumber party! :-P 6:06 PM

Honey Bunny: dude ur crazy. I have to go to a laundromat anyway 6:16 PM

Honey Bunny: How about a different night 6:27 PM

Me: Sure, :-P. I'm out of town this week, so it'll have to be next week or so. D-: 8:03 PM

Honey Bunny: well that sounds lovely 8:07 PM

Me: Although, tomorrow I'm technically available. Could you handle that, even? 8:12 PM

Honey Bunny: Oooh intense. im having dinner & drinks with friends tomorrow. 8:19 PM

Fuck logistics, man! I dodged a looking like a loser on V-day bullet, too. I literally made no social plans for V-day, because I had interviews to prepare for, but I couldn't disregard the possibility of making her dreams come true. After my flight back the following week, I asked if she was busy this Sunday (tonight):

Me: Hey, Mrs. R! I'm back in town tonight. Drinks tomorrow?

NEXT DAY

Honey Bunny: sure, i cant stay too late though, i have to work at630 tmrw mornng. 12:42 PM

Me: meet me at bar on street at 930. 4:42 PM

Me: sound good? 6:35 PM

Honey Bunny: Yup sounds good 6:42 PM

Honey Bunny: heyyy my friend is coming too ok 9:11 PM

Me: sure, i'm at the bar in an offwhite sweater. 9:29 PM**

I knew what was coming. I knew she'd have a friend tag along, but I was ready for that. I knew she'd be late, too, shit test for sure. I was determined not to take that kind of shit, (David D and my ex's taught me that):

Honey Bunny: We're on our way im sorry 10:03 PM

Me: too late, sorry toots. you're on my shit list now. 10:05 PM

Honey Bunny: you serious? 10:06 PM

Me: i'm not there anymore, yes. maybe another time, if you're lucky. :P 10:10 PM

Honey Bunny: No no no no no its only been 30 min fuck that 10:11 PM

Honey Bunny: Fine your loss 10:12 PM

Honey Bunny: no need to be a dick about it 10:29 PM

Honey Bunny: We're at venue f u wanna join. btw my friend.says she knows ur sister. and im drunk ha 10:51 PM

Me: you're really sweet. i'm going to call you sweetheart, now. i left to spend time with my brother on his birthday... 11:14 PM

Honey Bunny: Omg u shouldnt have even been trying to meet me ob ur bros bday, that was sweet of u, tell him happy birthday from me:) 11:16 PM

It actually was my bro's b-day, but he was intentionally late for dinner, so I decided not to cancel on HB and see her for a quick drink. When I got there, I felt sick and in no mood to wait for another late person. I turned being stood up into a huge attraction builder. I was just firm and non-compliant, but not overly and insecurely emotional about her being late. I took it in stride and passed the shit test. I figure this has built more attraction in 30 mins than actually meeting her with her friend at a lame bar on a Sunday night. My next thought was to make plans for later in the week, without friends involved, and getting her back to her place.

I'm sharing this with you guys, because I was AWFUL at text game before. I used to text girls and sit and wait for their replies all night. I was miserable, now I just don't give a fuck. Though, I definitely want to hear your suggestions and feedback. I've got another LR coming up, so stay tuned.
