"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've always had some banter here and there qith women through text to keep them engaged, but when some guys suggest Texting only for logistics it got me thinking.

What do you do if you meet a woman on Sunday, and only your weekends are free. Do you just nit text her at all inbetween the week? My text game is pretty weak so I'm just wondering how best to implement this strategy.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Good luck if you do that. Flake waiting to happen.

Many guys on here do well with texting leading up to dates and in-between them too. Many guys here also do well using texting strictly for logistical purposes.

Men here have had success either way. The lesson: Do what works for you.

I've personally had success using both approaches in the past. Currently, I fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum -- I text between dates but I don't have drawn out conversations and I always keep it light & make sure to end the convo at a "high".

These days girl's attention spans are very short and if you give them radio silence for a few days it can give the wrong impression..... Sure it can get their hamster spinning or whatever but this can backfire with chicks who have options, or a chick with shiny option syndrome.

Text game is not black and white, and there's also not a one size fits all strategy, I approach texting different depending on the chick...

Use the strategy that works best for you, given your strengths and weaknesses. This can mean you take a blanket approach to texting and have rules, or you can calibrate your strategy like I do and do what works best in a given situation with a particular chick.
