Get her number now. Don't wait until after the coffee date. Just ask her in a nice way and say something like, "Would you mind if I got your number in case I need to get a hold of you before we meet up?" It's never failed me. Also, this way you can now start to text/flirt with her before meeting as well. But keep them short and sweet, don't get into long conversations. Or if you're not comfortable with doing that right away, you can at least just text her something like, "Leaving now, be there in 15" or whatever on the day you're actually going to meet up. It's an easy ice breaker.

Ok so on OKC, I found a high school classmate that I never talked to and was one of the cool, popular girls. Then I found someone who's actually in one of my classes right now. I have no interest in either but I'm kinda surprised.
Also I found out that the girl I'm currently messaging is a friend of one of my best friend's ex-gf. Small world. And in doing so I stumbled across her Facebook... Ugh bad idea, I don't find her nearly as interesting.
I think I'm starting to realize how much I don't like the idea of online dating. Everything kinda feels forced. Sending messages just to stand out and not sound creepy, meeting up with people for the first time and already having an idea of who they are due to their profile... Its weird. Props to those who hit it and quit it. Im outta here (okc).

Damnit. I don't want to sign in to view this profile.
Could you provide a screenshot of the description text?

God...
Why would you do that?
edit: And what's even more warped is that she shows photos of herself as a kid doing gymnastics and right next to that photo is her getting hooked at the knees like a piece of meat...

Hey Xun, this should boost your confidence:
It's a site in which you can see your attractiveness rating:
http://projects.heyimalex.com/okmirror/
Does that mean anything though? Mine says "Rating of [ameratsu] between 9297 and 9375!".

I think there's another way but what you can do is go to your "favorites" page and rate people there:
And when you hover your cursor over the dots they turn into stars.
Look in the upper right of their profile. There should be a rating option.

What is with all these stars?
Also, if a girl is a fan of Atlas Shrugged, is that a bad sign?
It feels like a bad sign.
Oh God, some of these girls are in high school.
That makes me feel creepy.

Theres was a pretty good xkcd just the other day about that very topic -
The mousover text -
I had a hard time with Ayn Rand because I found myself enthusiastically agreeing with the first 90% of every sentence, but getting lost at ‘therefore, be a huge asshole to everyone.’

My greatest enemy in all of the world according to OKC is a 23 year old American man who thinks the earth is larger than the sun.
I also apparently found the love of my life according to OKC, it's too bad I'm not looking for a relationship.
Also a woman whose username is essentially 'Hotforteacher' who is a teacher, teaching the 8th grade.
I wonder if she'll appear in a GAF thread any time soon.
I'm just hitting random cities now.
Portland sucks!

I just laughed really hard at the comic.
I'm kind of glad my username doesn't show up when I try to find it in that rating site. That's one of those things that might be best not to know.

Neat, my attractiveness rating has gone up by about 600 since changing my pic about a month ago. I bet if I created a new account with fresh new pics I'd do well.

Building attraction to another isn't based on logic. People usually like getting texts throughout their day from people they're interested in. It makes them smile. Make her smile.

I saw an attractive enough girl who stated that she worked for one of those Protect Marriage groups "To protect marriage from Homosexual Activists". Her profile is of her showing off her breasts.
That shit made me lol
Also one guys profile made me laugh the most after I saw it on SA one time. It has to be an elaborate troll. I'll try and post it when I get home if anyone wants to see it.

I deactivated my profile a couple of months ago as I've been far too busy to date right now. I'm thinking about jumping back in sometime next month after I satiated my unhealthy Diablo III addiction. I'm thinking I'm going to create a new profile though instead of just reopening my old one - it was starting to get stale at the end there, I would get 3 or so dates a week when I first started but a year later I was down to maybe 4 per month.
I never looked at what my rating was (it never worked for me) but I'd probably be higher than what I was if I started anew with more recent photos. Plus I'm debating trimming my beard to mere stubble within the next couple days which will be a big change for me anyways (haven't shaven it off in 10 years, since I grew it in High School).

Just had a look back on there. I'm pretty sure I've gone through an messaged every one in my area I think I'd go out with. I'm just getting profiles that seem like troll ones, people who aren't my type or people whose interests are way to different from mine that we'd have nothing to talk about.
It was going well for a bit too =/

That's probably just a gaffer trolling you.

That's a reason why I quit. It's harder to make an impression online than in person. I feel girls online are too judgmental. They certainly have the right to be but damn... Are you seriously going to avoid me after just 5 min of discussion on skype? =pNo responses from the ladies I prefer, but first msgs from ladies who are meeeeeeeh
Gone up a star since a month ago, but I'm just not sure what I did differently.Hey Xun, this should boost your confidence:

Ha, not a problem.
I've had an influx of guys looking at the page for obvious reasons.
Very true.
I'll flesh it out tomorrow.
Also although I'm putting a bit of effort into OkCupid, I'm trying to focus my attention IRL.
It's just much harder outside of college, so I just don't know where best to meet new people. People who are my age (22) or younger (18).
I don't really want anything serious out of a relationship just yet, and I feel my options are closing up on me.
Shit sucks.
Sigh.

Very rare. I've come across numerous reported profiles of people in the 15-17 range who readily admit it.

Two stars.
Also, why are guys from Texas viewing my profile? How do they find it?!
Ok figured it out. Was the guy from Richardson? If so, he's the guy who runs the OkMirror and OkCreeper websites and and all the traffic is routed through his account.
