MalachiX Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Met a girl. Went out for quick date and were both enthusiastic. Was texting for a while but both our scheds were miserable for the last week. Got a text from her on Sat morning but wasn't able to respond until evening since I've been working 14-16 hour days all weekend (which she knew). Her previous text had re-affirmed she wanted to get together again soon. It's Monday and I still havn't heard back (and about a week since we say each other in person). She may have cooled off given our limited contact has been cuz of our scheds (more mine perhaps). That's cool but I wanted to send one last text to see if there was anything there before moving on. Was about to text the following but wasn't sure if it sounded funny or just needy: So, i've been trying to think of an excuse to text you and it occured to me that you may have forgotten what I look like after so long. So; just you so remember: I'm 6'5'' with long Fabio-ish hair, a rugged bear, and wash-board abs. Not trying to entice hang out or anything; just wanted you to be in possession of all the facts...

Lansing Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Sounds to try hard to me. Made me cringe. Like, you put too much effort into writing it. I know you have got into "texting" but how about a phone call and asking her out again... Otherwise, one final text and then drop it.. but, make the text something like "still on for getting together? How does Wednesday work for drinks for you" or something. 1
Author MalachiX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks. Would love to get both male and female thoughts on this. I've tried to be less indecisive as far as my dating life is concerned lately but it's always nice to have feedback from others
NJtoDC Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Coudl you just call her and say "Hey, how are you? You've been on my mind. I really enjoyed our first date. Can I take you out again Friday?"

I thought it was kinda funny....do you really look like Fabio though?
Gottabestrong Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I think your text is funny, would definitely make me smile if I got that from a guy I was dating. Normally, if I go on a date with a guy and then he does not get in touch for 3 or more days I don't reply anymore if he suddenly gets in touch again, but if I got a funny text like yours I would probably reply. Good luck! 3
TaraMaiden Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I think it sucks. But I think it could be an age thing. I hate texts...I'm in my 50's and this kind of approach rubs me up the wrong way. It's so much nicer to actually speak to someone...but this comes from someone who owned a Vulcanite phone like this one
Author MalachiX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 I thought it was kinda funny....do you really look like Fabio though? No so much 5'6'', no beard, and while I have a decent figure can't seem to get abs. Still think I'm pretty good looking though. 1

Divasu Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Why do people think Fabio is sexy? He's not. No no noooooo. 2
superb Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Why do people think Fabio is sexy? He's not. No no noooooo. I don't lol, that's why I asked the poster. Not a fan of long haired men. 1
nescafe1982 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 "Hey stranger. How's it going?" ^ This. Or screw the text messages... call her and set a date! 1
Emilia Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 No so much 5'6'', no beard, and while I have a decent figure can't seem to get abs. Still think I'm pretty good looking though. Never ever put yourself down by sending some jokey self deprecating text about being tall, dark and athletic when you are not. It screams of insecurity. Just ask 'hey stranger, fancy a drink' or whatever other lighthearted comment. Or call as the others said. 2
