Master the Art of Texting

When it comes to texting, there are rules to obey like any other fun game.
Rule 1: Never text to dodge a real conversation
A lot of men figure that a text message is much more safe than a phone call. True, but it will not consistently lead you to your goal. And that goal is to set up a date. The chances of seeing her again raises drastically when you get her on the phone and make plans as it builds comfort and familiarity.
If you text because you’re scared to talk to her, how will you ever speak to her in person?
Rule 2: Do not seek responses for validation.
Value seeking texts can be things like, “What are you doing?” or “Can i hang with you and your friends?” This kind of texting comes off very needy, turn women off, and do not showcase your personality at all.
Take a look at some sample texts that are have been repetitively tested and proven effective…
“Your twin just walked past me wearing a purple sparkle fanny pack”
“Hey dork!
I bet you are operating at a level of 100% dorkiness today.”
Rule 3: Don’t send too many messages
She may be the only thing on your mind, but don’t let her know that. Don’t scare the bunny away! Text once, and if she replies, you may do so. But if she hasn’t, then wait until the next day before trying again.
Also, give it some time after you receive a text before you respond. Remember being non-needy always equals sexy because it conveys that you must have other dating options in your life.
When in doubt, pace her. If she texts you back right away, you can text her back right away, but if she takes 10 minutes, then so should you.
Bonus Texting Tip: Use texts to invoke the law of familiarity.
Once you have her number, text her as soon as you can especially if she is standing beside you. The situation is hilarious in itself plus give yourself triple points if it’s an inside joke or funny text. Here are some…
“You got my number now, but please don’t call me 10 times a day :)”
“Wow! That guy you’re standing next to you is hot!”
When you text her and she saves your phone number, you can be sure she has interest in you. More significant is that when you call her, your name will pop up on caller id and she will be more inclined to take your call with a smile.
