hey everybody.

I'm looking for some objective input on how I'm handling this girl.

So I met this 20 year old girl last saturday while volunteering at an art festival. We hit it off, got lunch together afterwords, and then SHE asked me for my number. I'm 28. She is about 4 inches taller than me, probably an 8, and has pink hair.

My goal: to enter into a LTR with this girl.

before you tell me that is stupid and I should next her because "oneitis", realize that the holidays are coming up and I would get a super huge kick out of bringing a banging hot girl with pink hair that I am 8 years older than to social events, like the Marine Corps ball, my 10 year highschool reunion, and holiday parties. Basically I want to show this girl off. Think of it as an investment.

At this point We have not had any real sexual contact: no kissing, nothing. but lots of non sexual touching. I'm not afraid to escalate, but the vibe wasn't there for the situation that we met in. My plan is to try to get sex the next time we meet up.

Problem is that she flaked on me. Normally I'd soft next her and give her one more chance in about 4 days. For her, I'm making an exception. She gets 3 more chances.

here is our text conversation so far. read it, then come back.

My plan is to text her sunday evening to set up something for monday. I'm afraid that she is going to flake again. should I text her sooner? push it back until tues/wed? I'm looking for ideas.

also, how is my texting style? anything I did wrong that you can see?
