I’m not 21Y, but still, a guy keeps sending me shy-boring-empty texts like that I won’t even reply anymore. I think this young girl has been even very kind to let him think that there could be a next time, and now he’s flattering his ego that he’s not that bad looking, hahaha

There’s an old saying that goes, “Beauty is only skin deep; ugliness goes straight to the bone.” To the BONE! Ya heard?

You can do both – at the same time if you wish – it’s a free country (albeit one with questionable monetary policy sometimes)

DoubleDip Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > for god’s sake stop with the texting and CALL her. Women prefer texting. I saw texting stats recently. Half of all texts are done by women in the 18-35 age group. Ever since I got an unlimited text plan last summer, I have had more success than ever before. It’s hit or miss with calling because more often than not you will get their voicemail. And if they hardly know you, they will be too shy to call back. I have the sense that women feel more comfortable texting. That’s been my experience in the last 12 months.

Text is useful for a couple of reasons: 1. You can build up a rapport on text at your leisure as opposed to an embarassing attempt at flirting if you are no good at that. 2. You can choose to rewrite your thoughts until you say something worth sending - as opposed to saying the first stupid thing than comes into your head Bit like email. Those times when you are p.ssed off with a colleague and about to send an angry email then hold off sending and rewrite when you have calmed down. Can save a lot of bother. Anyway, you really ought to get her dripping wet to meet you. It really ain’t that difficult. Start slow and up the tempo and temperature. Just like bringing a woman to climax.

OK, any ideas on how to get her wetter for when we hopefully meet in several weeks? Keep in mind I barely know her, only met her that one night… Will be focusing on other prospects as well in the meantime

I thought you said you already got stuck in, not like you just said hello. Or did you barely exchange saliva?

I met her that one night and yes got stuck in. And mustve met her around 11 or12pm and finished up at 5am. Anyway, time to sit this one out till she’s around again. For now I will focus attention on slaying chicks with less complications

Yes, text is great to communicate the general “I’m thinking of you” that women really like. But when she’s thinking “what the heck happened,” a real genuine phone call is probably better. It’s fine when text is just a bit of repartee, but if she’s thinking “he sent me a text because he’s too chicken to call,” well, that’s bad. Exception: if you are going to say you’re sorry or that admit (usually after being accused) that you screwed up, then a text saying so is good when followed up immediately by a phone call, as in “I’m sorry, I screwed up, I’ll call you.” Why? Because in my experience, they like having written proof (it’s like a CFA diploma) that you said you’re sorry (text), but they still want you to talk it out with them (call). They like it because they can revisit the text any time they want to, and show their girlfriends that they got you. When you love a woman, it’s good to text that too… because she’ll love to read and reread your message. But she better not have a husband or boyfriend that can track you down if he starts looking at her phone.

^ +1 chadwick. Calling takes so much more cajones, do it. But your “sorry” paragraph makes me want to vomit. No girls do that come on, unless this was something serious most guys apologize way too much. Texting kills attraction, minimizing it and being inaccessible, even if you are in a close loving relationship, will generate far more attraction than texting every hour saying what you’re doing, how much you love/miss/want to bang them.

For apologies, I singled it out as an exception, and I did mean for something relatively serious. The issue is that if she doesn’t know if you are calling angrily or wanting to make ammends, she may let it run to voicemail. If she knows that a friendly call is coming, she’s more likely to pick up. Obviously one shouldn’t be apologizing on a regular basis or for things that you feel don’t require an apology. But everyone screws up now and then, intentionally or not, and being willing to apologize when you did screw up makes holding your ground much more effective if/when you are accused of screwing up, but didn’t.

I think BChadwick should write a book “Sexting: The Modern Man’s Adventure” NYT Bestseller 4 SHO! The whole part about rereading texts is really true. Phone calls end, but a written message is immortal in a sense. Calling people is sort of dieing out. Unless it’s something that will take a while like explaining a story or asking a lot of Qs it’s usually easier to text. “Hey want to go to XXX and ZZZ” “Sure, Ill see you there TIMETIMETIME” I can see why people prefer texting, but it’s nice to hear people’s voices and know they’re not a robot. It’s an age thing. If you grew up in the era of cellphones and don’t know what black and white televisions are you’re more prone to text. If you can remember life without the internet you’re more prone to call.

The issue I see in texting is that it is much easier to create positive impressions of yourself- due to being able to edit what you say- than through normal phone or face-to-face conversation. …Why could this potentially be a problem?- if there is a wide gulf between your texting “persona” vs your talking face to face, or on the phone “persona” then this can create conflict/confusion. The huge positive is you have much more control over what you want to say, the impression you want to give. Unless you are quick on your feet verbally than texting might be more a way to go- at least in the beginings- in a relationship. But what do I know I was just dumped (at least I think).

Here’s a suggestion: send me your phone by Fedex. I will send your new found love a series of steamy text messages to push her to the edge of uncontrollable excitement on your behalf. It would not suprise me if she cut short her working assignment just to get to wherever you are just to hop into your bed. However, knowing that you were both drunk, I could always step in and fill your shoes. Yep, sure I could convince her that it was me that night. I’d be doing you a favour, honest…

^Good Call!
