Is it ok to have text conversations with girls in high school? you're guaranteed to see the girl again in school so it's not really necessary to text only to set up a day two. This thought came in my head because I was texting a girl that I've been talking to recently last night until I fell asleep and couldn't respond to her message (I'm a senior in high school). I thought about responding when I woke up but then I decided that that probably come off as too needy.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I know having long text conversations is bad, but what about in high school?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

all the rules of the normal world don't apply to high school.

I hope this is irony. For the most part, the same set of rules that apply to 20 year olds in college apply to 17 year olds in high school. The only differences would be logistical issues, as in where to have sex, etc. It is the same old game otherwise.sylvester the cat said:
