"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.

After reading a post on text messaging and its potential power, I decided to create this compilation thread of the best posts about text messaging whether they are C&F replies, instigators, or simply an enlightening post about text messaging. I'm coining them as Text Message Tranquilizers because DJ's can shoot these out when they carefully decide to (and on whom).

Begin my favorites.

1. "Those innocent eyes... Those kissable lips... A great smile... The perfect walk... Smoothest talk... Absolutely gorgeous.. Thats enough bout me-How r u?" - Big Pappy

2."*NEWSFLASH* Police r lookin 4 a suspect whos smart sexy witty & very gorgeous- they've already eliminated u from the enquiry (where do you think i shood hide?)
"- Big Pappy

3. "hey, how's it going? good luck on your finals. get an A and i might just reward you with that date that you were so looking forward to."- Runna13=)

4. "If you get a lot of messages yes her interest is high. I've had a girl do that to me repeatedly for a while in the past. I would ignore some, maybe reply to 1 out of every 5 or so, and not right away.
"- md3sign

5. "Her: I'm bored.

You: That's cause you're not with me.

Her: Hehe.

You: I'm serious come over now!

Her: Okay be there soon!"- Bussey

6. "The best way to handle a text message from a chick, and not just one like the example given but ANY text message is to simply ignore it. Don't respond. It drives them nuts."- Shezz

7. "By building comfort with your text messages over a length of time (remember, patience shows a strong character and shows you have other options) you can really get her."- Shezz

8. "I think text messaging is a good way to change things up when you're dating a girl. Instead of the usual phone call to set-up dates, why not leave her a ****y text message to get things going. Like, "Your a$$ working tomorrow?" or if you're supposed to do something with her, leave a text like "Try to look somewhat respectable tonight.. " I'm sure she'll fire back with something you can laugh at."- wheelin&dealin

9. "hey short bus, got time for lunch?"- Jon E

10. "Hey loser! Get a life!...call me."- Jon E

11. "If this is the FIRST time you've asked her out, call her. If you guys are cool and have been going for a while, a text saying "Dinner tonight?" or something along that lines is fine. You wouldn't want to send that to a new chick, though.

Be careful about going out of your way to use text because you're afraid your phone-skills aren't up to snuff. Text should never be used as a "cop-out.""- squirrels

12. "I love text messaging. But as others have said, keep it short. I'd also advise that you never reply immediately. While she's waiting for your reply, she's thinking about you."- Jariel

13. "So I text them saying stuff like " When do you want to hookup". Stuff like I am busy now I'll call you later."- GinuwineXXX

14. "Women that are interested in you will reply to you at some point."- flexion_

15. ""I want to see you this week."

To which she replied:

"Ok. Tell me when you want me."
"- A-Unit

16. "Just wondering. Are you any good in bed?"- Big Pappy

17. "Communicating via SMS definately adds a degree of mystery. They dont know where you are, what mood your in, and limits communication to just a couple of sentences. Less is more as they say."- DonJohn83

18. "I space my SMS messages apart by 15 min - 45 increments. I like to have the girl know that I am a busy guy, who does not have the time nor the patience to just SMS with her on my phone."- Paid, Laid & Made

19. "let me also add that your only texting should be after 8:00pm - so that you are on her mind when she goes to bed and it also reinstates that you are a busy guy throughout the day!"- Shezz


20. Finally, to wrap it up, check out Victory Unlimited's post HERE. A very interesting read involving use of mass text messaging for quick closure.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

20 quotes to a common subject. This is a proper post. If only we could merge all of the other threads like this.

Tipped, Repped, and make more of these.

Thanks Docs. Took quite a while to hit all the threads about text messaging and read through them all.

A lot of both good and bad info floating around on the subject, so I pulled the best of the good.

And such effort to make a taboo topic have very strong support (who can discredit 20 posters (many of high stance)) carries the requirement to make it noticed.

:D
 

"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.

On the subject of text messaging, what messages are you guys sending out for Valentine's Day? Post good ideas!

I'm probably gonna go with something like "Will you be my 6th valentine?"

Ideas?

Better yet say "Ive selected you to be my 6th Valentine. If the other 5 fall through, you got the job!"

Haha, I think I'll use that.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"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.

Bump. It's been almost 2 years since I compiled these quotes, but I wonder what SS members like Rollo, Kontroller, Interceptor, jophil, Warrior, etc think about the topic. I'd like their 2 cents so I can add to the compilation.

yea i've used some of them and they work pretty well, I always get a good laugh. The best one is when they say they are bored and you respond with thats b/c you're not with me. golden. another one that always gets a good response is when you repsond "when do you want me." always seems to drive em nuts.

Also I always try to text after 8 and its usually short. The best textes are brief, like only a sentence or phrase.
 

"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.
