The rate of progress is relatively slow, but you are definately adding "predictable" humour... you need to not be SO innoccent and add some flavour to it before it gets boring.. so it's a good thing you STOP texting where you stop, because i yawned.
Here's a modified version...
Me: Hope that sandwich I made didn't poison ya!
Her: Haha hey
what did you say your name was again? Ha sorry I'm bad with names
Me: that's a problem now isn't it, I don't see me forgetting your name.. KAYLA! what are we going to do about this?
Her: I swear, I'm just brutal with names.
Me: I hope your better at other things.. you get 2 tries to get my name before you have to find me at the store again for it.. it starts with an L
Her: ooUUUu.. L___ or L_____ ??
Me: you got it, it's Luke. Well, how about drinks and you can add my face to your phone so next time you have short term memory, you can at least cheat to win.
Her: deal, tell me a date
Me: I need to juggle a few things, get to you soon!
this was just an alternate.. it created an interaction, created a gate to see her soon, demonstrated higher value since you left it under control and her waiting for you.
simple rules you broke, too much "lol" and it was going in circles....
hope that give insight for your next text session. Good Luck!
