I have an okcupid profile, and despite their many interface changes I am still on that app.
I'll point out I found it since it gives you the option to send an intro along with your like (as opposed to Tinder or Bumble where you just swipe), it does allow me to use more than my looks when reaching out to women.
However, in this case the girl reached out to me. Looking at her profile she is Indian and I'd say maybe a 4-5. So I'll stroke my own ego and call her HB5. She is new to my city. Here is how the interaction went
HB5: Hi TheWhiteTiger, hope you are doing well. It was interesting reading T.S. Eliot in Morgan Freeman’s voice. 😁 **Reference to a quote on my profile**
I don’t know if I fit into the three categories you have specified or if this message is interesting enough. I guess I’ll find out if I get a Hi back from you! 🙃 **Major IOI, all I have to do is not fuck up**
Me: Hi HB5!
How are you enjoying XXXX? is it all the movies mae it out to be?
HB5: Hey!! Thanks for replying… So far I like the city…. It’s beautiful!
I do wish I had my friends (from back home) here to actually enjoy the city more… I feel bad for XXXX when it comes to the movie but because they always make it seem like some town from the US and the city doesn’t get enough mention.
What do you like about the city?? And are you from XXXX or did you move here?? **another long message, great IOI**
Me: I moved to XXXX from YYYY, the province next door
couldn't take the snow anymore
are you good with snow or do you turn into a marshmallow
?
Well what do you like to do with your friends? you can do that with me **Trying to seed a date**
HB5: Cool... I know someone who wants to move to YYYY because they can't deal with the rainfall anymore!! 😅😅
I m not a winter person at all. Honestly, my parents were shocked when I told them I want to move to Canada considering I hate winter and being cold. So XXXX is the only place I can survive in Canada, at least that's what everyone has told me. 😅😅😅
With my friends, I like to go for walks, go to random book stores, library, or check out different types of markets and coffee places. Or just go to a park and chit chat!!
What about you!? What do you like to do with your friends??
Me: I like going on walks, hikes, movies, coffee and drinks **I need a better answer here, this question comes up a lot and I'm sounding like a grandpa**
Let's go for a coffee!
HB5: Sure! Let’s plan something soon
Any particular coffee place you would like to meet??
Me: There's a few nice ones in downtown, are you near downtown often?
HB5: Yeah… or I can come to meet you… it’s not a problem
**okay, I'll be honest, this is almost a red flag for me, why is this so easy? Even though she's a 5 she's not a goblin**
Me: haha, I live in downtown
what is your number? let's chat on whatsapp **extracting to a more personal space ASAP**
HB5: My office is in DT but I only come a few days in a week and in the evenings mostly
My number is zzz-zzz-zzzz.
Ping me
So we are currently chatting away on whatsapp. I want to meet her ASAP, but her extreme IOI is a bit alarming so I'm going to tone down my expectations in case she is, in fact, much less attractive than her photos made her look (which of course happens).
That said, any feedback would be appreciated, if you have learned from this, that is also appreciated.
