Does someone have an article on how to game a girl via text in between seeing her?? If bot can someone explain it to an up an coming dj
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"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.

She's always texting me first but I get carried away a lot and txt back too quickly or reply with like specific texts.. Do you have a limit on how long you txt a girl and what you txt about?

Depends on the context. I've set the frame so that I don't have conversations over text, so girls just send me little comments about missing me and how I ripped their vagina the other night. That's your best bet; don't become the kind of guy that replaces texting with actual interaction.Bgarrido said:
So I don't text about anything in particular, because I avoid having conversations via text.
My rule is this: if the text is worth replying to, I will reply to it (example, she says "lets f*ck"). If it's something that will lead to a conversational thread, I cut it off, because I honestly have better things to do with my time than play with a little plastic phone.

So if she texts you something will start a conversation you just don't reply?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

The best time to text is when she's still with you.Bgarrido said:
1st text
Hey nickname
So random meeting you tonight/just now. Are you always this friendly to strangers?
This is a double bind, either you're special or she's a friendly person. Either way it gives you something to qualify her on and keep things going.
2nd text
Hey nickname
Reference to the last time you hung out or texted
Meat of text
Non sequitur or a question, ideally cute or fun
Zombie game: send the last bit above, the non sequitur, to everyone you don't remember once a month.
Texting shouldn't last long. After your 3rd or 4th text you should have established a date. From that point forward texting is just to set up logistics for the most part. Don't worry though if it takes 8-10 texts to get to this stage at first. You just don't want to become a text-buddy with lots of texting all the time and no real investment of having to meet up at some point. It's basically a digital friend-zone.
Also, if you're texting back and forth, to help prevent this digital friend-zone, you should just call. If she's texting you right back then she's got her phone in her hand and will probably answer.

Pretty much. Use discretion though, sometimes it will be a good idea to reply, and sometimes it's even better to just CALL her.Bgarrido said:
Again, just call her if you want to hang out, text should be used for quick questions that aren't worth calling for, like an address or how many people are going somewhere.Bgarrido said:
Think of it like this: the less you text, the less of a chance you have of saying something retarded.

Aight man I feel you thanks for the tips
"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.

That's an important tip. Unfortunately, most guys will ignore it.WorkingDJ said:
Knowing when to end the conversation is huge.
If I text something funny to a girl, and she texts a funny response...that is the end of the conversation.
Too many guys get into these 20-text, back-and-forth conversations with girls about nothing. Just walk away from the phone. Constant texting will NOT increase her attraction.

Yeah I just have to quit making the same mistakes.. She's literally been texting me everyday for about a week so I want to maintain the position of control, should I show her interest over text or just call her?
