It can be a problem indeed. Sometimes texting every day can be overkill. That said, some girls like to text everyday. She'll feel appreciated when you text her first, but after a while, if you are going to text everyday, wait for her to text you. It's a tricky thing. This girl that I'm dating right now is one that likes to text everyday, which is ok with me. We've kind of got a tacit agreement where we switch off who initiates. Kinda goofy, I know, but it's all good for me.

How about: text when you feel you have something to say? If she stops responding, you're done.

However, if she's responding promptly each time you text her, I'd characterize that as a sign of interest, so I wouldn't worry about doing what you're currently doing too much.

What NB said- don't be excessive with the smileys. They're good every once in a while to show interest, but there are much better ways to show that interest.

lol the art of texting

it is kinda like mind games, you don't want to turn her completely off by not texting at all, but you want to get near that fine fine line between being "cool" and being a jerk. lol

On that note - If she is responding positively, keep going. If you start getting one word answers to everything or she doesn't text back, then stop texting her.

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

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.

Try not texting her sometimes and see if she initiates...there is no set rule and girls can have any variety of positive or negative reactions to too much or too little texting. Maybe try just straight up asking her (in person) if she is a big texter or not.

Don't listen to chef, he once made me a chicken dinner and while quite savory it was a bit dry. Definitely not what I would expect from someone with his moniker. On the whole a disappointing night.

Obviously everyone is different, but some girls/guys have their phones on them at all time, and can generally respond within minutes. Others may not have their phones with them constantly, or may have activities, hobbies and jobs that keep them from their phone. You can't accurately judge based on that.

For instance, most girls I dealt with up till now could be characterized by using their text response time/initiation and content to establish their interest level. One I'm currently interested in however, completely bucks that trend. She rarely uses her phone, and can go a very long time without looking at it, whether willing or able. She also has a busy work / hobby schedule, which leaves less time for correspondence.

Coming from my experiences, I initially felt her lack of initiation and long pauses might indicate disinterest and/or apathy. However, I wasn't discouraged (because there are always other possibilities) and went out with her a few times. Being with her, and talking openly with her about random things helped me see her personal perspective, and I don't have to guess about what it all means.

If you want to avoid the guessing game, try to get together with her. This will give you an opportunity to either ask her outright about her habits, or subtly work towards talking about things of that nature, and you can also observe how she treats her phone and other conversations with her friends. Perhaps she is just someone who views it as most people, where if people are interested in talking, they will send a message.

Obviously, if you both view it the same way, you'll never message each other, regardless of interest. Everyone always wants to test the other person. You can't be hung up or expectant of them in that regard. If you're interested in talking, send a message; if they reply, great. If they don't, don't assume the worst.

Good words.

Another thing for all you younglings to consider is this.

If a girl likes you and is inexperienced, she will respond amiably and relatively quickly to your tests.
If a girl likes you and is more experienced, she will know how dangerous it is to be completely obvious with her feelings. -> slow // null response
If a girl likes you and is shy, she will not know how to respond to random statements like, 'Just got out of car and made a sandwich ^_^'. --> slow // null response.

Girls are interesting creatures that believe in horoscopes. Thus they expect you to 'get them.'

Send her really lewd texts and then if she reacts negatively apologize and say it was your friend that sent them from your phone.

What is with this text messaging? Obviously writing a hand written letter and mailing it to her would get a better response. I mean you can buy stamps that have a smiley face on them too.

I don't think it really does depend on the girl.

From my experience, I would say that most girls would love a handwritten letter from a boyfriend and would find it extremely cute. However, I think that most girls would find a handwritten letter quite weird before the "well-established relationship" stage.

I feel like it's the same thing as buying a present for her out of the blue. Cute if you're already dating, but obsessive if you're courting her.

truth. I have been noticing lately that girls that I aim or text throughout the day don't really care even though they like the social crap.
You have to just call them, and don't just chat to chat.
I never did that shit with my ex and the relationship lasted 4 years. I was doing everything the opposite with this new girl and it lasted like 2 months.

PS- the main thing about texting is that its weak. It shows more confidence and obviously you can make a better impression talking etc.

Use texting mainly as it was designed. A tool for when you can't make a phone call to say something important. If you are able to make a phone call but it's not worth calling to say 1 simple (useless?) thing then don't text or call.


And I wouldn't write a love letter unless you were already well invested in a relationship.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

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.

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.

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.

Guy should initiate. Do it for a while, then stop, let her wait. If she wants to keep getting all the atention you gave her, she gotta give something back. As soon as you're dating, both should text each other in a balanced relationship.

There's too many variables that u cannot know the answer to, does she struggle with getting a boyfriend, has she had many, does she get hit on a lot etc.

Every case is absolutely different and you have to dip your feet into enough ponds so that u can overcome variance with +EV decisions

Or maybe i just played too much poker in my life :O

well not initiating "conversation" isn't the only way to check if she is on to you.
You can also see this by texting random "hi sup? " etc and then see if she tries to get the conversation going she is interested in talking to you (to some extent atleast). If not getting hooked up it means you found a friend atleast, cheer up cus thats good enough and if you wanted a relationship and not friendship you can just stop contacting her altogether without being an ass.

Besides people often overanalyse the meaning of you asking her if she has something to do etc. As many of you said, it's texting. If you want to go hard on ask her out or over.

REMEMBER! Be spontaneus and do some silly jokes which you know arent really funny but she will like your jokes alot more if she is interested.

Honestly I think that talking to her would be a far better way of figuring out how she feels about texting than posting a blog because we really don't know this girl.
