Focus on meeting as many people as possible since you are single. This will distract you from texting every day. Also you will go on more dates, get experience etc., and when she texts you asking what you're up to you can tell her you're on a date, if she has any interest in you she will flip out and ask you out.


lol thats absolutely hilarious advice.
yeah she might be into the whole "hard to get" thing or might like a jerk, but this is slightly over the top. 99% of the time if you do something like this its going to get really ugly haha

If you like her id stop texting her for a few days. If she doesn't text you within a few days you now know how much she really wants to talk to you. If that's the case then move on and just be friends.

well 50% of the time this will work, the other half she will just drop you. So it doesn't really work if you're really into a particular person.

raja91, I know exactly what you mean. I always feel like I'm the one calling or texting first. Even if she has invited me somewhere previously. Its pretty lame because I feel clingy or needy because of it.

Tell me your experience with initiating text messages with girls i need some help lol


So...you went on a double date and now you text every day?! I know I'm not the only one who feels this is a tad bit creepy...

If you seriously want to see if something will work ask her on a one-on-one date. If that's too much then ask her to hang out. In the very least be doing SOMETHING in person. You have to do more than text message to cultivate any kind of meaningful relationship.

Text messaging, while an effective means of communication, removes another level of intamacy (face-to-face dialogue) and leaves you more likely to build up some alternate reality that only exists in your head...

with some girls if u text too much it turns them off, and its better to wait

with some girls if u just wait around they forget you and/or think u don't like them cuz u didn't text

BUT:

1. it's all random and based off variables u can not know
2. calling a girl with a purpose and a plan is usually better than gay texting

and most importantly:

3. if you made a good first impression on her (and no, her giving you her number does not mean you accomplished this) then it does not fucken matter if you text her first or wait for her to text you

What I'm doing now with this girl I started seeing is I'll text her if I have a plan/purpose to go do something. Very seldom do I text her randomly else wise, maybe just see whatsup with her the odd day. Sometimes when I know I won't see her for a couple days I just won't text her. I'm not really testing anything but rather I don't need to be in communication everyday with pointless conversations / be around her every day. Its just healthy space I think that's needed so you don't get sick of each other.

There's a fine line between too much attention and not enough, as Rekrul stated above quite nicely. So I just call her up / text her when I want to do something, but other than that, I usually keep it pretty quiet. If its been a day or so without any communication I often get something like "I miss you!" from her. So as far as initiating texting, it doesn't matter, but probably the guy more often because girls like a guy who can make decisions and show them a good time.

That's the point though, if you are busy enjoying your life and having fun, you aren't going to get clingy, attached, needy. You won't be "into" one particular person. You can act like it doesn't mean a whole lot to you because it actually doesn't. The reality is that there are tons of awesome girls out there.

Texting is one of the great failures of the human race.

I long for the days when a real man would pen a letter on yellowed parchment to a fair maiden, speaking of how her flaxen hair and heaving bosom are akin to the moon and the stars, and how the ocean can be seen in her deep blue eyes.

Do this.

And/or listen to Rekrul.

You don't want to seem too clingy. Let her initiate texts sometimes. It's okay to initiate to show u have interest, but you don't want to overdo it.

Look, getting laid with texting is very simple.

Just ask her if her dad is alive. If he is, then move to the next girl.

I know it because I saw it on family guy.

The only thing worth texting is "when are we meeting up next?". Trying to have a relationship through texting will drive you crazy and fail.

You can never completely stereotype an entire gender population or any other group of more than like 10 people. It will completely depend on the one person.

Invite her to a local GSL finals party that iscoming up, man up and admit you're a starcraft fanatic! Girls love honesty!

Also, all of these chumps are newbies. You have to 1. not text her first, 2. not text her second.. If you get a double text, you know you're in the gold.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable
