Okay here's the dealio...
My mom works as a hairdresser, and her co-worker was doing the hair on some chick who my mom and her co-worker say is cute. So the co-worker says, "I know the perfect guy for you!" (me). So the chick gives her number and says I can call and say hi or whatever.
Now I'm willing to take risks.... usually my mom has good taste so I'm not concerned about her looking like a hag. It's rare that my mom does anything like this but whatever... not the point. I am going to call but I realised, wtf should I say?
I was thinking something like "Hey is this blah? Oh my name is blabblah, I actually got your # from Mrs.Blahblah who did your hair, figured I'd say hi and introduce myself."
After that, I don't know where to go. If you have a serious suggestion I'd appreciate it. The dates I've gone on lately sucked and it seems the girls I meet are freaks (not in a good way) or want to get married immediately. Anyhooo, I appreciate any help on this... kinda nervous as it's the first time I'd do this. I'm not even good at this in person but once I get started I am usually fine... just need help for about 2 minutes
Update: Called the girl, said the 'Hi hello' type of chat. She said she was out with a friend and to call her back in an hour... so I guess more to follow. Oh, and don't worry, no mention of Anandtech nor computers will be made
Update #2: Called back after an hour and a half, got voicemail. I was playing Counterstrike and wasn't really watching the time so I left a message saying when I was free with my cell phone number. I will call her in the evening Saturday if I don't get a call by midday. I think I will probably look like a schmuck though, because I already didn't call her back at the right time -- and then she didn't return my call. But it's only 9am right now... I told her to call at around 1pm or so. I guess we will see.
Update #3: She returned my call late, was very apologetic and I damn near forgot about her Anyways, she was moving back to upstate NY for work -- she's in a training program of some kind for some bank -- and apparently didn't look at her phone until she got there. That's the story I got anyways, but regardless. Spent a few minutes talking, just what I do/you do, how old, where'd you go to school, etc. I got her laughing a bit because of my sarcasm, so that was a good sign. I got her email address and after we hung up, I sent her a few pictures of myself so she could put a face with the name. So hopefully NEXT update, I will have pics (or ban?) to attach to this post
Any advice for the next call is appreciated anyways -- I figure I'll let her sweat and call her on Saturday (we spoke yesterday night). I don't know if she will be sending back pics but that's the etiquette ain't it? I'm confident in how I look, so if she's not attracted or whatever that's fine -- we can just end it there. Anyways, advice needed as we go along Thanks!
