how do u keep a text conversation going?

[jericg]

I really need to improve on this. Its really difficult for me to think of what to talk about. Im not a very socialized person however i do love to have fun without thinking much of other's opinions. Im also very new at texting.

You keep a text conversation going the same way you keep a regular conversation going. When the seeds are planted, you water them. Although some people will advise against texting as they believe it kills relationships. I kinda like Muscleman's logic on this: "Texting is one of the main ways people stay in touch now, so why limit yourself?"

Anyway, when you're texting or having a conversation in general just pick up on the things they say. They might mention a trip out of town. You water that seed. i.e. "Where to?" Just don't make a habit of texting girls frequently, in that case texting does kill relationships.

yeah, i just talked to a guy about this earlier,

with a quick recap of what he said

be silly, but not self deprecating
don't ask her to do things, tell her
keep in control
don't double text

he said a lot more but those are quick tips and this guy is REALLY good at texting

^ What's up with the "double texting rule"? Read it somewhere before, but I dismissed it. I mean, personally I don't double text chicks but I don't see the harm in doing it.

Not really sure, I think it's suppose to be a value thing or to stay aloof.

I don't understand all the rules but, I'm sure as hell following them

I'll ask next time I see him for any psychology behind it

Seems desperate as hell. Especially if you asked a question and she didn't respond. I only double-text my guy friends or platonic girls.

Idgaf if its desperate or not, i just want them(any1 even pick up girls) to *uckin respond xD i feel disrespected and irritated if people dont respond.

If you're getting irritated that's the wrong time to double text. I'll double or triple text a girl I like if I know she likes me and the texts are funny or show an exciting lifestyle.

I get what you're saying. Jericg, like LearningSlowly said if you're getting irritated it's not a smart move to double text. Be (more) in control of your emotions. When people don't text me back, I honestly could care less. But I see nothing wrong with double-texting someone (anyone; male or female) a few hours or so later to restart a conversation or just to check if they'll actually respond.

What I personally don't "approve" of is:
You (5:00PM): hey
(no response)
you (5:10PM): why won't you answer
that seems desperate as hell.
