I know, I know. Some of you are probably thinking that texting and DJ should never belong in the same sentence together. At one point I might have agreed, but like it or not, texting is here to stay and the phone call is going the way of the Brontosaurus. I was thinking back today and realized that I hooked up with a half-dozen girls in my last single year before ever exchanging one phone call. That’s right dawg, T-X-T.
This is going to be brief, because frankly, you shouldn’t be putting THAT much thought into texting. However, texting is a delicate game and things can easily be misinterpreted. Used skillfully, it can be a great tool in any DJ’s belt.
1. Keep texts brief. That’s why they were created, to convey brief messages. No text-convo’s or extended correspondence. You aren’t pen pals with her. If she tries to carry it out, it may be a sign of high interest, but then again she may just be babbling with her fingers. Women love to read and write and assert themselves through these mediums. End it politely by saying you are in the middle of something or at work, and you’ll catch up with her later.
2. Avoid emoticons if at all possible!!! I feel gay even saying ‘emoticon’. Leave that girly sh!t to them. If you MUST use it to convey sarcasm or silliness, then go ahead, but don’t make a habit of it. Better to not use any at all.
3. I am a believer in the “Trial Text” (see Roissy). This is basically a text sent to her a short time after getting her number, either that night (which I don’t advise), or the following day. Think of it as a feeler. If a girl has a cell phone, she texts. If she has high interest in you, she will likely respond within 10 minutes, or later with an explanation of her tardiness. If this is the case, you are clear for takeoff into further panty-exploring territory. Moderate-ambivalent interest, she might respond many hours later or the next day. In this case, you are more likely to bomb out pre-coitus and your game will really have to be on point. If she doesn’t respond, forget her. Seriously.
4. Use texting primarily to be witty, sexy, or set/confirm a meet-up. I dont recommend trying to be 'sextual' unless you have a way with words, or she initiates it.
5. If you are spending more than 5 minutes carefully crafting your message, don’t send it. You are investing way too much time into something that can easily be misinterpreted. If you have no prior rapport, sending a text with room for interpretation can blow you out before you ever meet her a second time.
6. Don’t use shorthand unless you know her (especially if she is over 25). It makes you look like a dumb tool. “Lol” is acceptable, but nothing like “omg roflmao i luv it wair u gunna b l8r??”
7. This shouldn’t even need to be said, but if she doesn’t respond, DO NOT send another text! It’s like a laser-guided desperation missile. Forget her, move on, she had a chance.
And that about covers it. I hope this helps you tighten up your texting game.
