Text above is the typical "Can I be honest", "I prefer honesty", "You seem like just my type." stuff. Then she makes my life a little tricky - not sure I handled it well. How did I do here? What could I have done better? Will post updates as the conversation moves forward. Thanks guys!
I have absolutely no idea where to go here. I thought the joke about making her wait 20-30 dates was a funny response to a shit test, but she didn't seem to like it; maybe that was a legitimate concern/comment that I misread. With my last message, I was really hoping she would say yes and I could get her to realize it's silly to disqualify me as a serious relationship type based on the fact that I mentioned sex, but she didn't bite on it at all. I guess my next move would be to say "It's a key, not my #1" but that just feels weak Context: This girl is insanely attractive, I'd go on 100 dates with her before sex if that's what it took. But saying that up front will obviously demonstrate low value and put her off. I'm perfectly fine with an endgame here of get her number and set up a date at a bar or even dinner. I realize my odds are low, but how can I best optimize them to get there? And how can I handle this sort of conversation better in the future?
On Monday I worked with a photographer from The Match Artist and took nearly 2,000 photos. Some of them turned out great, others not so much - I've narrowed them down to about 40 (the top one or two from each general "shot") and uploaded them to Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1n1HZkOJuyUc7wNjV9_2hnTce2r17TxXF?usp=sharing I'm leaning towards the following lineup for Hinge: A1 Shirtless Flannel Tesla Best Smile Showing Rosie the View Suit Belt not Showing Eyes Open Tesla Hinge seems to do by far the best for me, so that's the one I'm most focused on. When I spoke with the guys from The Match Artist, they suggested using different photos for different apps, but I'm not really sure if that's optimal. Any advice for me on these?
I'm meeting nice women and doing okay but I think I have room for improvement in how I present myself. I use the same photos for Bumble and Tinder and have far less success on those two.
