Say You're Just A Friend

[Ken]

So earlier today, I approached a girl named NIcole. I asked her out, and I got her number. I texted her a few hours later using the tips Chase suggests in his article "How to Text a Girl". A half-hour ago, her response was something I was not expecting:

"I can't this week or next week. I'm extremely busy. But I don't want to lead you on. So I'm sorry, I'd love to be friends. I jut got out of a serious relationship and not really looking out for guys. More of a self reflection. Also this is a temporary phone and number since it's my sisters old phone till I get a new one. If you want to contact me I can do it via Skype. You can give me your name. And I'm sure we'll be good friends. Thank you for the flattery today. Please don't text this number after you decide to give me your Skype name. Sorry. Hope to see you around campu Campus"

This is the first time a girl ever told me that she just wants to be friends. What do I do?

I'm still not a very good texter, but I'll give it a shot…

I would answer something like:

I see... Bummer!. Well let me know when you free up and we can arrange something. I don't have Skype sorry. You can send text here, though. I'll keep the same number. Hope to see you around campus too

And then move on about meeting 'em ladies.

I hope someone give a better one… cause you see… I'm ignoring the chunk about being friends and serious relationships, yada yada.
