    I thought it would be comically cold, so I wrote more.

    This makes me a 'bad flirter.'?

    :confused: Maybe I'd have a better attitude if this hasn't been my experience with texts/mails.

    Chill and don't over think things.

    If she doesn't get back with you then she wasn't worth it.

    ok...when she asked ''do youremember me from such and such''?

    this was your chance to determine where you stood immediately...you should have answered ''of course i remember you...i been carrying around a crush on you this whole time''


    see?...then its out there but you havnt gambled alot yet by asking her out....plus...now you wait for what comes next and then take it from there

    You should've just asked for her number (or sent her yours and told her to contact you) instead of writing that last FB message. But she's likely not that interested in you cause I know I have people that message me on FB and I often don't have time nor want to conversate with them.

    It gets annoying, especially those people who love to try and chat with me when they see me come online :mad:. I dislike FB more and more all the time.

    ^ wasn't a chat. a message or two. Spread out as well. faawking can't/don't wanna believe one message kills me like that though.

    I don't like cheesy admission of like, 'specially right away like that, but i suppose it's alot better than compensating conversation. :/

    Since I was already fucking up I gave it a shot though.

    I just dropped a:

    I would've preferred to meet up in person and had it went well to say so in person.. but maybe this is better. I have no clue. Going for a smoke break :willy_nilly::redface::leaving:

    I know, I just went off on a rant for a bit about chats. My point was that it's hard to spend your time replying to people in a message that you really don't care to deal with. So you should've just sent her your number. But at the same time, the fact that she didn't respond tells you everything you need to know.

    Oh, I know. I've had to make use of that feature.

    She answered you! She said "haha sure". So set the place, set the time, and go. Keep it as pragmatic as you can. Don't look for bad, or think there is a fight.

    Pragmatic just means in this case he should not worry about things that could happen or how he would be perceived by the girl if he's a genuine person (I think that's what calgirl means). They do it everywhere, you seem quite pragmatic at times as well rolling :p Not all the time though, cause the answer you ask for is in the original post of this thread ;) :D

    I use pragmatic in rl too (the dutch version anyway which is pretty much the same word) and I am a stoner as well. Won't admit I'm slow though :p

    See below in red. That is where she answered. My suggestion is that there is nothing between the lines here. Much effort has to be made to not be presumptuous. So to reach that point, be pragmatic. To me it means take things literally so that you can be functional and efficient with no emotion. Besides, its way too early to think any of it is personal. That happens way later.

    Is it possible she thinks your laughing at her for still working at the place you guys met at?

    I just read the last line again and figured that maybe that's what put her off if indeed she's put off by something in your post.

    That I use the word pragmatic does of course not automatically mean I am pragmatic myself :D

    The 2nd message got a response, albeit not as impressive anymore.

    she said "lol I had no idea! I happened to see your name on the ##network and added you. blah blah work comment." (not in that order)

    So, it seems, I would have to start from friendship/mild interest on my part. Nah...

    (I'll stay in contact but I'm not going to push it hard)
