They met on Hinge. The student commented on her photo and she started the interaction by replying to his comment. The conversation takes place over two days but the student closed and met her on the same day.
 You look like my future ex wife 😏
Student
 How strange I was thinking you look like my next future mistake 👀
Her
 This message works here as it builds on the joke from the previous messages. It also uses the ‘we frame’ which allows the girl to imagine them together or having something in common.
We must have similarly bad taste
assistant
 Great minds think alike and all of that
Her
 Exactly, how’s your Friday treating you?
Student
 Well Alfred I’ve not long got in from a couple of drinks, I’ve had worse fridays, what about yourself? 
Her
 Alfred? Getting familiar fast 😏 my Friday was great, went out with some friends for St Patrick’s. Was that the end of your night?
Student
 Absolutely, do you like Alfred? Hahaha I like calling people different versions of their name. Oooo nice where did you all go? Are you feeling fragile today then? it was, well I actually went on a date but we didn’t vibe so it lasted an hour and a half 👀
Her
 No one calls me Alfred but I don’t hate it. Not too bad tbh, I’m one of those annoying people that doesn’t get hungover.
Student
 This message does a few things. First, it shows that you date women regularly and are selective with whom you pursue. Second, it shows that you are unaffected by the fact that she goes on dates with other men and not the jealous/ butthurt type. Third, it seeds the idea of a date and the two of you meeting up in person. The vibe has been good, there has been some light teasing and she is sending long paragraphs which shows her level of investment is high so it was a good time to begin seeding the date.
Had the same thing happen to me last week. Our date will be better though
assistant
 I like it, what time did you get in last night? Was it late? Oh god yep I don’t know how you people exist, do you drink loads as well?
Her
 Nightmare, yes was a bit awkward. I was just waffling on to make it less so 🤣 will it now? Are you sure about that?
Her
 Are you a little bit silly or no?
Her
 This message works here as she asked too many questions to answer and the conversation still be easy to follow. This message cuts out a lot of the sidetracks it would be easy to go down. It is short, succinct and communicates confidence as he is ‘positive’ their date will go well. 
Positive. Define silly
assistant
 You know like funny, a bit weird don’t take things too seriously kind of thing? I’ve said it and it’s hard to define but I know what I mean 👀 🙄
Her
 This message indicates that you are selective in who you spend time with, which is a high value trait.
I definitely don’t take things too seriously, hoping you don’t either
assistant
 That’s good news, no i don’t either
Her
 The aim of this message is to begin moving towards the number close. The vibe has been good so far, there has been some light flirting, she has qualified herself and she has been sending long messages which shows she is invested so it is time to begin babystepping towards the close.
We should test this out in person
