Not gonna lie I got zero game when it comes to online. I wasn't well off with the ladies at middle/high school thus I never needed to practice online/text game and it's recently been killing my results.

Real life - no problem, always the leader of the group, confident, mysterious, lead conversations and strong body language - intellectual and funny at the same time. All of the important aspects which I fail to bring over to screen. I also don't really use smart phones or social media more than work related required so that doesn't help either.

So here's the scenario: last night solo night out at shisha cafe, drink some beer, smoke some shisha and then approach a set of two, they are suspicious at first but we hit off really well, i focus on one of the girls(later more crowd appears and her friend is not left alone) and she talks about her ambitions and desires etc. She's not like super hot but has that cute, nerdy, petite look which I'm really fond off and a killer smile. we have a really fun time, but she gets interrupted while talking about her dog, by her friend because their ride arrived(hours passed by quick). She asked for my info and added me to facebook moments later.

Today I wake up, think of what to say(and in my head this sounded like a pretty good thing to start things off with) and it goes exactly like this.

me:"Rexy? Rexay? Hey"

"Rexine :D" (her dog's name of which we talked about last night)

me:"Damn almost had it, fun at 'town X?'"(knew she was out of town)

"Awesome as always"

me:"Plans for weekend, rest and schoolwork?"

"Yyeaahh"

"Probably"

[I stop here 'cause don't want to seem too needy]

and that's it - dead conversation, seems like a pretty freaking boring conversation, failed to bring emotions up and she's replying short words, not asking questions back, dead case. This is about 3rd or 4th time past 2 months that this has happened to me (amazing night out, meet a cutie which I rather get to know than just pump and dump, but fail to follow up next day via online). I have no problem in real life, but I can't seem to be able to set up follow up meetings, because the interest/attraction wears off too quick.

tl;dr - can't seem to be able to escalate from online. Can't even get conversations started. Need tips on what to ask/tell via Facebook when you don't really know the other person.
