"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.

Right.. Straight to the point to save all the jibber jabber ;)..

I have recently met this girl and we seem to be texting each other quite allot recently, (I know that can be a bad thing) however when I mean "we" I actually mean her, shes been texting me pretty much every other day, and she always texts me first, I of course text her back but before i can break it off she breaks it off instead.

I want to text her by surprise.. when she doesnt expect it, but how the heck can i do that when she beats me to it? should I just let her text me all the time or should I just text her? or perhaps ignore her for one day then text her tomorow?

I obviously don't want to seem clingy cos thats a really bad thing. Any ideas on this texting scenario?

"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.

1) don't worry about it. You have bigger fish to fry
2) go ahead and take her out on a date while her interest is still there.
3) try 3 AM, she WILL get caught by surprise then ;)
4) ignoring helps if you want to add to the "mystery" so she wonders what you are up to.

Basically, text her when YOU want to, not when you think she wants you to.

@ Bolded stuff, YES.

Agreed to all your points except 3), there's a pretty big chance that you could look like a creep and/or wake her up.

LewisDJ I can only hope you start showing more interest in her as a woman rather than keep texting till you fall to the friendzone, and that means taking her out to spend time with her. You have the momentum as she is showing interest and you need to seize it before its too late!
 

"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.

Don't text her. Call her. Texting for conversation is insecure and beta, and should only be used for really quick, convenience type things.

I realize all this 'DJ advice' about not texting and you guys have a point. However in the real world most guys I know texted their girl a lot before they got together. If texting is 'insecure and beta' then why is it getting all my mates and myself girls?

The problem is if you don't esculate, or don't see her in person (or make an effort to), or even worse you see her and don't do anything.

It's not like texting never works, or always screws up your chances, but most of the time, calling will have a better effect.

Hey, thankyou for all your advice, ideas & views on this topic ;)

Well we have only been texting each other for about almost Two Weeks now, and I am most certainly not gonna screw this up, I'm confident enough to ring her up tonight and just talk the talk, keeping in mind, not to make the conversation long, and not to talk about anything bad, and when the conversation gets interesting, *ive simply got to go* :cool:

Quick note, I think she does know that i am slightly interested in her (but still remain mysterious), and I know shes interested in me.

This will all go well my friends...
