Don't know if this has ever been done before but I'm going to share an entire timeline of relationship development here, with as many details as possible. You can chime in, but I would rather just keep this to my actual updates to streamline the thread.

Sunday, 10/18, 7:30pm Show up at co-workers birthday party and meet...let's call her Paige (22 year old White female, likely a universal 6 but to me an 8). I am wearing M3X and Pherocide. After a few minutes of group conversation, she and I begin to isolate, conversing about neuroscience. I get several submissive looks from her and there appears to be interest for sure. I suggest checking out a brewery, as she is new to the area. Gay co-worker cockblocks but we do exchange numbers before I leave (she brought it back up). I leave around 8:10pm.

Sunday, 10/18, 8:15pm Hello Dr. Paige! I hope my hippocampus is big enough to remember our plans!
Sunday, 10/18, 8:21pm Hey Meyers Briggs Astrological extraordinaire Nikki. Hopefully! Though your hippocampus almost forgot your hat
Sunday, 10/18, 8:32pm Hey, don't worry about my hippocampus! I have a crocodilecampus for back up. Talk to you soon!

Monday morning, I receive a FB request from her.


Monday, 10/19, 6:33pm My huskies (mascot of both our alma maters) dopamine receptors are bigger than yours.
Monday, 10/19, 8:10pm Woah! Well my huskies have larger cerebellar cortices than yours!
Monday, 10/19, 9:00pm The cerebral cortex is overrated! How was work?
Monday, 10/19, 9:03pm Work was good! And how do you mean overrated, we're us because of our cerebral cortices, everything else keeps us alive. How was your day?
Monday, 10/19, 9:16pm It was productive, especially in terms of cleaning. Finally got rid of that evidence linking me that riot during an acdc concert years ago. They will have to...drop the charges. You free sunday?
Monday, 10/19, 9:47pm Sounds like there's a good story there. I'll be free later sunday afternoon, like probably after 3

I was in bed early and had fallen asleep, otherwise I would've responded a bit sooner.

Monday, 10/19, 11:28pm Perfect. They do tours at *brewery* until about 5 on Sundays. Sound good to you?
Monday, 10/19, 11:33pm Excellent! Yay beer adventure!
Monday, 10/19, 11:36pm

Sounds better suited for a journal

Great banter

Journal has way too much going on. This is streamlined for curious parties and the like, not trolls.

So if 5 other people decided to do this you don't think that would just add clutter to the section?

Wednesday, 10/21, 4:11pm Im reading a book about antigravity. Its impossible to put down
Wednesday, 10/21, 5:05pm Ooh, you so punny! I heard of someone that got fired from a calendar factory. All he did was take a day off!
Wednesday, 10/21, 5:42pm See...I wouldve told you a chemistry joke, but I didnt think Id get a reaction.
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:03pm We can't all be great in the joke department. The only ones outstanding in their field are farmers
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:11pm OK, but works even after its fired? (Meant to say *what* works, her confusion is notable)
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:13pm Probably not, haha.
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:16pm ? A neuron. Do you like bon jovi? Ive had one of their songs stuck in my head all day.
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:18pm Ooh, got it. And yeah, bon jovi's pretty good. Which song? Living on a prayer? You give love a bad name? Dead of alive?
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:24pm Dead of alive!! I love music, lots of different stuff. But rock is so fun...I like van halen, alice in chains, queen, blue oyster cult. How about you? Ever make music yourself?
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:26pm I'm really into classic rock, my favorite band is led zeppelin! I played the cello from 3rd grade until my senior year of high school. I was never very good tho
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:34pm Me and my roommate were just listening to good times bad times!
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:37 Perfect! I approve of your life choices
Wednesday, 10/21, 6:57pm We'll see about that! I still havent chosen a halloween costume.
Wednesday, 10/21, 10:23pm Hmm, do you have any contenders to choose between?

Great Post Nikki,
I like how you show your style of game + the mixes you wear. It really helps determine if the mixes you wear will also fit my persona also. As i can see that you have a witty humor and your game revolves around being humorous and comfort. It also shows how you interact and react in real-time so we get a good grasp of your level of social skills. Now that i have a good idea of how you are, it would be really interesting to read the mixes you choose and how it complements your personality on dates. Keep Up The Good Work!!

She's definitely into you. Your text game is competent, but I get the strong sense her reactions are mainly driven by attraction generated in the initial meeting rather than the texts themselves.

If it's viable, I'd escalate to a date/meet-up pretty quickly - the more rope you give yourself during text game greater the chance you'll hang yourself through some kind of DLV.

Thursday, 10/22, 9:36am I always wanted to dress up like one of the members of KISS. Im going to be playing Neil deGrasse Tyson in a tv pilot, so maybe I should just run with that. You?
Thursday, 10/22, 10:03am I was thinking about dressing up as Lorde, and by that I meant the South Park version of Lorde, idk if you watch South Park
Thursday, 10/22, 10:47am Haha! I love south park. Havent watched recently, but that show is genius. The one where kyle gets a negroplasty kills me everytime. Ever watch rick and morty?
Thursday, 10/22, 11:02am My roommates are getting me into rick and morty. i've only watched the last few episodes of this current season but want to watch more!
Thursday, 10/22, 11:13am So good! Add that to our to do list
Thursday, 10/22, 12:02pm We have a to do list now? So fancy!
Thursday, 10/22, 1:21pm How else are we going to organize all the fun? ;) Maybe it will blossom to a spreadsheet. Ive been told I excel at those
Thursday, 10/22, 2:28pm We can color code it too! And we'll put it into a huge database of all the activities
Thursday, 10/22, 3:35pm Color coding? Thats a big commitment! Thats like...monopoly level commitment. Maybe Dr. Paige, maybe
Thursday, 10/22, 4:03pm Ooh! Well I do like monopoly. everything at work is color coded too, my calendar is a rainbow of neon post its
Thursday, 10/22, 4:31pm Oh, I like you.
Thursday, 10/22, 4:36pm Are you also a fan of boar games and bright colors?
Thursday, 10/22, 5:32pm That was a yes, by the way.
Thursday, 10/22, 6:05pm Gotcha. So how's life treating you this thursday afternoon?
Thursday, 10/22, 7:00pm Great! Have tomorrow off. Yourself?
Thursday, 10/22, 7:42pm Nice! A whole friday to do whatever you want! I'm wonderful, just enjoying life
Thursday, 10/22, 9:14pm Yeah, tomorrow will be relatively eventful. Going to the studio, may be recording a podcast, rehearsing for the pilot. Any reason in particular life is so wonderful? Not that you need one
Thursday, 10/22, 9:18pm Woah, what podcast would you be doing? so cool! i'd love to hear more, sounds very interesting. And i just love being out walking around seeing and doing things. Maybe that's just me being a boston newbie though, haha. Also, i just saw a friend i met from a summer program back from 7 years ago
Thursday, 10/22, 9:32pm Thats great! Yes we'll have to talk more in-depth sunday. Talk to you soon

You've done well to maintain interest, but text game doesn't need to be as flowery or as long-winded as this. If she'd hooked hard at the first meet, I'd have probably started setting up a date on the first or second text! You should still be fine as she's showing IoIs and your DHVs have hit home (esp in the last texts), but in my experience the longer you leave the escalation, the harder that escalation becomes. I say that in addition to my last point about rope and hanging yourself.
