Hello gents,
I did my usual library sit down tactic. I find a cute girl by herself, ask if anyone's sitting there, etc. So I find this cute blonde girl, and sit down with her. I open my laptop to do some work, and I'm only doing it for about 5 minutes before I notice there's a digital multimeter (pic http://tinyurl.com/9s9jdv8) by her side of the table. I thought that was strange, so I asked her what she has it for, she said she's an electrical engineering major.
I said "Oh thats odd, you don't really find many female electrical engineers." She laughed and said that's kind of sexist, but yeah that's true. So the unusualness of her being an EE major opened up an easy route to deep dive. The recent article by Chase on how being sexist can be an advantage eased my worries about the sexist comment. So I did my thing, I am still trying to get past the 60/40 mark on female/male input on the conversation, but oh well.
The conversation went far and wide in terms of topics that we covered. At one point, we ended up talking about fractal patterns in math (a fractal is basically just a pattern within or on top of itself: http://tinyurl.com/mefym6z). Again, the unusualness of her even knowing what a fractal is opened up an easy deep dive route. So I started making some very general assumptions, like "Hmm, so you must be really love the math field."
At a few points the conversation lost momentum. I know that it can be a tactic to act a little uninterested to force her to invest in the conversation. Now I must have inadvertently performed this action, because whenever it lost steam, she would always open back up to restart the conversation.
Going back to how the conversation went far and wide, at one point the conversation was feeling a little too formal. We had semi-opposing viewpoints on the particular subject, and had she not been a girl I want to sleep with, I feel like I should have been behind a podium locked in a debate. So I tried to invest very little into the conversation, giving short, uninteresting, and repeated answers. Unfortunately she would budge. So at one point, I just stopped her and said lightly with a smirk "Okay, I think this conversation is going in strange places, we should switch gears."
She laughed and jokingly said "Why, are you feeling intimidated?" I'm happy about what happened next because it came naturally to me as opposed to a staircase wit situation (http://tinyurl.com/yvk98z). I smirked and said "Why? Are you trying to intimidate me?" She laughed, said "Yes, is it working?" and I smirk and respond "No, I don't get intimidated easily."
So anyway, the conversation went on a little bit longer and I had to catch the bus, and she was getting ready to leave. I said, "So Emily, what does your weekend look like?" She said "Hmmm, well I'm gotta study for finals, so probably that." I said "Is there a break in there somewhere? I'd like to have you over to my place." She said "Yeah! I think I can take a break."
We were both headed in the same direction, and I took down her number. We parted ways and I got onto the bus, I texted her "Hey Emily, it was great meeting you
" She replied soon after "You too! "
Of the "humor" numbers that I've gotten in the past (a humor number is my term for when a girl is just humoring you by giving you her number, with no intent to reply), the common link between all of them is that they never send that reply text, that's just what I've noticed. So hopefully the quick response is evidence of a legit interest in me.
