seriously guys, a word of advice. at some point you just have to MAKE THE MOVE.
case in point: david from coffee meets bagel was matched with me a week ago, and this entire week he's just been trying to engage me with 2-3 mundane texts per day. I've gotten sick of his passiveness and for some reason want to give him a chance in person, so I've purposely inserted several openers into the conversation to make it REALLY easy for me him to ask me out.
first opener
david: Mission is pretty cool, they have a ton of great dessert spots, have you been?
chai: hm, I only really know of birite and tartine. what places are you thinking of?
ideal response: Oh man there's so many others! Humphrey slocombe, dynamo donuts, mission pie, anthony's cookies! any you would like to try?
actual response: Oh man there's so many others! Humphrey slocombe, dynamo donuts, mission pie, anthony's cookies! Good thing you don't have a sweet tooth, you don't have to worry about diabetes.
um what, really? you're bringing up diabetes in a dating conversation?
second opener
chai: btw, do you actually have all those dogs in your pics?
david: Haha no, but the white one is my bro's, so I take care of him a lot. You want to meet him?
chai: lol I bet you get asked about them a lot. well played. haha, sure [on meeting them]
ideal response: cool, why don't we grab some birite and I'll bring him to dolores park this weekend?
actual response: well a guy's gotta stand out somehow, might as well do it with cute dogs haha
ok, as I'm writing this I'm wondering to myself why exactly I still want to give this guy a chance
third opener
david: so i'm guessing weekend brunches in the city aren't your thing eh?
chai: haha I didn't say that, I just don't like waiting for them. I love weekend brunch
at this point, I am full out expecting some sort of brunch invite. I just said that I LOVE WEEKEND BRUNCH
david: All the good brunches have ridiculous waits! I've only been to a few because I usually get too hangry haha
omg. seriously?! OK. how obvious can I make it that you should just ask me to meet up in person?!
chai: Ha seriously. so...do you ever meet people from CMB or do you just text them forever?
no, I'm not even being nice anymore
david: I've met a few - that's the whole point right? How about you, are you a veteran?

i give up. those few girls that you've met must have all asked you out, because you certainly aren't capable of pulling the trigger!!
