Fling or something serious?

[InnerHappiness]

Girl: Is this a fling or something serious?
Me: That's an awkward question, do you ask this to everyone you beat in bowling?

Came back from bowling to my place, gave her a shot and we talked. All was good. We were making out, then she said she had to go to a "get together" that she mentioned beforehand.

Whatever, NC for you =)

Per the question, how would you respond?

My standard reply to this shyt is: "Well, I figured we could just hang out and see what happens. I'm not looking to settle down at the moment but you seem cool and I'd like to get to know you better."
Then bone them for a few weeks or until she pushes the relationship point and bail.

^SOLID statement.

Her birthday is today, but I planned to go no contact. Should I send a quick witty text?

Can't hurt but it's going to have to be good.

Not just a simple: "Happy Birthday!", you're going to have to escalate.

Something like: "Wow, so you're 23 today? I think you might be getting just a bit old for me. Soon, you'll be wanting to settle down, get married, have kids....."
Hopefully, she'll reply with something like: "Ha! Get out! That is a loooong way off."
You: "Well that's good news! I'm willing to forget the age thing this once and take you for a drink somewhere. I like to call it "InnerHappiness drinks". Instead of me buying you a birthday drink, you buy me two. Deal?"

I don't know what she's like but that's something l'd send to a couple of plates I'm working at the moment.
