Relationship Help

151 21 February 19, 2013 at 07:25 PM
It has been a while since I've been in a relationship with someone, like four years. I met a girl online via online dating site and really thought I hit it off. She's attractive and has an interesting personality. I got her number last night and we've been communicating since then. Two questions:
I asked if she wanted to meet, response: "Maybe Smilie"
How am I supposed to take that? Good/bad?

Also, earlier when we first met, she mentioned she's not the best at asking questions (ain't that the truth). So, I've been asking her some questions and been getting one word answers in return. Is this good/bad/neutral?

I don't want to screw this relationship up. Advice please?

QPLR?

I have asked quite a few questions, just don't know what would spark a good, ongoing conversation.

Internet is a good guise to be someone you aren't and/or hide traits you otherwise wouldn't want to be noticed.

Was referred to this show before. She seems completely legit. I searched her pictures on Google, zero matches. Granted, haven't met her though.

Don't force it for the sake of being in a relationship. Let things progress naturally. Think with your head, the one on top of your shoulders Wink5

Typically if you want a chat with a girl, they like talking about themselves.
Ask things about her and try not to talk about yourself too much as that comes off narcissistic and self-indulged.

The more I think about it, the more inaccurate the conversation sounds. I haven't called her yet, but I feel like it's too early to do so.

"Quoted Per Lounge Rules"

Couldn't you guys play 20 questions or something like that where you alternate back and forth?

It's not a relationship yet.

Take it easy.

I feel like that wouldn't solve anything. Still one word texts.

Send her pictures of your penis.

This should seal any potential deal that is to be made.

Um...you could try actually calling one another or perhaps Skyping?

Discuss open-ended questions. i.e.. What was one of your favorite childhood memories? What was one of your favorite vacations? What talents and hobbies do you have? Ask why and to elaborate if she still give short answers.
