I know it is better to talk to girls in person, but I have no choice for this weekend. I need some hints for texting. I know you are suppose to keep your messages short, but last night she would ask me like 3 questions in one text. What do?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I have this same problem too, just that i dont know how ot game girls in person or through text.. Idk what exactly you should say to "game" a girl
some men will tell you texting should only be used to set up/confirm dates
i'm 24, texting is my life. it is what it is. i cant remeber the last time i called someone to talk. so since it's a big part of my life, it also is a big part of my game.
you have to be interesting, and sometimes mysterious. that includes short, open ended answers to her questions and leaving on a high note.
i almost never ever open with a hello or a hey. and i never ask "whatsup?" because we all know the answer to that is "nothing much, you?"
i just jump right into something interesting or random to spark interest and go from there.
there are also little keys to know when to stop. if she texts me "lol!" or "hahaha!", but nothing else to progress the convo, i use that cue to stop texting. you always want to leave on a high note and preferibly have her be the last one to text you.
dont reveal too much of yourself or text too much/too often or you'll become her little text buddy. just enough that she has an idea of who you are, but wants to find out more by meeting in person

"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.

I feel that alot of us need to focus on acquiring these skills , because like it or not , from here on out its only going to become more necessary ,
tech is only going to make people more anti social , and if you cant warm up over texts , then some one who can will weed you out

yup. the game doesn't change, but the way we implement it does. being interesting, funny, mysterious, leaving an impression--all tips you use in real life, now we're just sending them via text. nothing's changedcablecow15 said:

There are a lot of older guys on this forum, so this isn't the best place to ask for texting advice. They don't understand how completely normal it is for people our age to set up meet ups, bang outs, and dates through texting. It's not as risky as they say it is. Most of my friends NEVER even call, and still get consistent sex and relationships.
That said, I would text her only every other day, and only a few times, and then call her. Always be calling her in between texting (of course, only if she is responding
), because it will make you stand out a little more than her average orbiters. But going back to my original point, you can text her and never call her and still get her to go out with you (I see it happen all the time. Source: college student, and I've personally done it twice), but I think it adds some edge to call her.
Don't text her about boring stuff. Text her something funny or witty. For example, I was texting this psychology major chick every few days. I sent her a text once where I said, "Hey, I want to start a Pink Floyd cover band called Pink Freud. Are you down?" She cracked up (I ended up going out with her a week later and I got a make out). So text them stuff that will make them laugh and remember you.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
