Help with POF conversation?

[-E-]

Hey all,

Got a decent looking girl to respond to me on POF. Seems like a fun girl and I picked on her a little bit about one of her photos in the message I sent.

I have pretty bad luck keeping convos going on POF or OKC so I was hoping to get an idea of how best to continue them by posting this one here. My initial message:

"Title: Why so serious?

In that second picture the expression on your face is so serious, it almost looks like you want to kill me just for looking at your profile...

My name's -E- and I'm a pretty fun and laid back guy. Looks like we enjoy a lot of the same things (I think bowling makes for a really fun "first date") and I think we'd have fun chatting with each other. I'm sure your sacrasm won't leave too big of a dent in my ego, so fire away... heh.

Anyway check out my profile and drop me a line!"

Her reply:

"RE: Why so serious?

Well for a second with the headline, I thought you were going to cut the sides of my mouth, ya know Joker, Batman, yea im a dork.... "


I have an idea how to proceed but want to get your input first. How should I reply?

Thanks guys!

Here is my suggested response and I appreciate any criticism that anyone has on it.

Most girls think of me as Superman but I also have a great sense of humor. So are you this funny in real life or just online? I'm going to have to see whether you can make me laugh in person. Let's get together sometime soon for some laughs and a drink. Send me your number and I'll give you a call later this week.

Cool reply, I do like the Superman thing but it feels a little "rushed" like I'm rushing to close the number. I'd probably wait one or two more replies before trying to get a date going.

I was thinking of starting my reply with something along the lines of this - "Well sorry, but I don't do roleplaying until at least the second date... "

Witty (and slightly sexual)?

Edit: Maybe "Well if you want to roleplay, you're going to have to wait until at least the second date..."?

I sent the following reply... hope it keeps the convo going! If she replies again I'll try for a number close. Thanks for the superman suggestion Donnie!

"RE: Why so serious?

Well if you want to roleplay you're going to have to wait until at least the 2nd date... Though I have to admit I like to walk around with a big "S" on my chest so I guess I'm more partial to Superman? I don't know but the ladies sure love it!

So how's your day going?"

Thats not the greatest response in this situation, could it work? sure.. anything could "work" though

The whole 2nd date joke was way too much way too fast, hints that you already interested in her, verses seeing her as "interesting" and she didnt even have a role playing type response, little miscalibrated id say, but your fun vibe is a good.

I would of kept it short and sweet with either a bold/funny statement and/or a simple interesting question for her to respond, nothing like "so how was your day?" thats so boring.

I would have kept it minimul.


"Wow your sick"

or

"That is pritty dorky"


You can add to it if you must.

"Do you keep comics under your bed, you know just in case?!"

You can tag a smily face to it if you wish, to show her your only pis*ing with her, but then again if she doesn't have a sense of humour, well, pass by anway.

Try to leave this much out, on the first email not a good way to go imo - Just leave it as : My name's -E- and I'm a pretty fun and laid back guy.

Check out my profile and drop me a line!"

Also leave out the heh, and the Lol and the rotflmao, type cra*. - It lowers your status. It shows your concerned about her opinion and your treading a line to not upset her, it shows in a way needyness rather than the fact your qualifying her too.

Well she didn't respond, but I'll keep that in mind for future conversations. I actually got a convo going with another girl last night and number closed her. She seems REALLY interested (even sent me another message an hour after we chatted on Yahoo) so I'm going to call her tonight and try to set something up for tomorrow.

Trial and error.

P.O.F is a numbers game in more ways than one. Just be sure their pictures are up to date and they aren't at weird angles and or with just face shots. There are ALOT of nutters on there, alcoholics, single mom's (some pretty hot), and women who are "athletic" but look like they've never stepped on a scale for a "weigh in" before they claim they're ready to rumble. :box:
