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.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I know having long text conversations is bad, but what about in high school?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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:
