So hows your texting game?

[ElDude]

So I met this beautiful woman at a brewery over the weekend and we got to talking. Talking led to more talking and drinking and we ended up staying there until the place closed. Went back to her place and fooled around a bit and slept over there. Woke up the next morning and just chilled for a couple hours talking and foolin around more. So it turns out this chick is actually smart and interesting and sexy. I usually like to hit it and quit it... No strings, no feelings so it doesnt get messy.

So I got her number and we have been texting and I have no idea why, but I am over thinking every damn text message I am sending this girl! How do i keep her interested?! Texting is the way people communicate now a days and I realize I have NO texting game. I need help fellas. Any one of the awesome ladies in here got some hints/tips?

i have a tip: be yourself..

[Shsm]

Just start it off with a "Hey" or "Hi", dude. You're over thinking it. She'll more than likely reply "Hi" or "Hey" back. Say "What's up? or "How are you doing?" after.

Did you have sex or what?

stop texting its worse then an email. you cannot read what someone means by their texts unless you start using smiley faces which is very unmanly

Gahh, I am over thinking it SO badly. The first text I sent her what the usual, "Hey i had a great time last night, how you doin?" I got a response from that and then texted her "Can I take you out to dinner later this week?" and she said "You can!" So we set a date up. It has been good so far. But I am definitely over-thinking it.

" Wanna come over for some Charonnay?... Don't worry, I didn't forget the D, you'll get that later"

It looks like you're golden then. Try to refrain from over texting her and don't screw the dinner up and you should be balls deep soon after

[cherrydrpepper]

Thats so sweet it sounds like love. I am envious.

I don't think I have the balls to do that... hahaha
^see what i did there?

Thats what I'm sayin Rwy, texting sucks because you cant see their reaction



smiley faces are unmanly

[Shsm]

A few tips as well...

1. Do not send smiley faces. It is extremely unmanly.

2. Don't send long texts. Get your point across. I don't know anyone who likes reading long ass texts unless they're mandatory such as instructions.

3. Refrain from multiple texts. For example, if you text her and she doesn't reply, do not text her again trying to get her attention. Wait until she replies, if she doesn't reply in a prolonged period of time chances are she is no longer interested.

4. Ignore her. Sounds stupid, doesn't it? But it works. Say you two hit it off really good, texting each other every few minutes. Just stop what you're doing and ignore her for 30 minutes. It will drive her insane wondering what you're doing. Make up some stupid excuse as to why you were busy when you come back such as "Sorry, I was taking a shower" or "Sorry, I was cooking". Say something to appear she isn't your number one priority and that you have other things besides her to contend to. Don't come across as needy, make her acknowledge you have things to do. If she does this, do the same to her. Wait an hour or so or at least the time she took to reply to your text before texting her back.

5. Say your texts out loud before sending them and double check them to make sure you don't make any errors

do tell?

[ElectraMaddox]

A few tips as well...

1. Do not send smiley faces. It is extremely unmanly. Um not true it's an expression of an emotion

2. Don't send long texts. Get your point across. I don't know anyone who likes reading long ass texts unless they're mandatory such as instructions. I like clarity and I like cute texts even if they are long

3. Refrain from multiple texts. For example, if you text her and she doesn't reply, do not text her again trying to get her attention. Wait until she replies, if she doesn't reply in a prolonged period of time chances are she is no longer interested. This one is somewhat true... If I don't respond I didn't get the texts or I'm busy and haven't looked at my phone so if I get ten texts like why aren't you answering me then ill be annoyed

4. Ignore her. Sounds stupid, doesn't it? But it works. Say you two hit it off really good, texting each other every few minutes. Just stop what you're doing and ignore her for 30 minutes. It will drive her insane wondering what you're doing. Make up some stupid excuse as to why you were busy when you come back such as "Sorry, I was taking a shower" or "Sorry, I was cooking".

If she does this, do the same to her. Wait an hour or so or at least the time she took to reply to your text before texting her back.

If you ignore me, I'm ignoring you back that's just rude and childish.

5. Say your texts out loud before sending them and double check them to make sure you don't make any errors

Yeah I send sloppy texts all the time lol my bad

[redz]

The nice thing about texting is that you can say things you may have never had the nerve to say in person.

[dan991]

I don't text.... I find that its not very productive and hinders communication as things can easily be taken out of context. Outside of sending me "get milk on way home" you can call me....

[Lunk1]

do tell?

Penis shot 405...man get of the elliptical and watch some damn football in the fall lol!

[< <Samson> >]

I live on my phone all day. Typically sending and receiving hundreds of texts per day.

No long stories

No mad smileys

I still use semi proper grammar and punctuation

That is all. . . .

This is true, wise words from both of you guys. I appreciate it!

Haha I have emoji, but she doesn't have an iPhone!

[AdrenalineJunkie]

Gahhh!! After reading this I need to rethink my text game. I DO send smileys...and Ive never noticed it effect my chance to close the deal but you guys do bring up a good point about it being unmanly...

Anyways...just go ron jeremy on her and send a dick pic without warning. All of the classiest women love dick pics...

[ElDude]

I have sent some smileys in the past, but it is very limited. I have sent out a dick pic before (drunk) to a girl I had just met. Didn't get anywhere with that!

I think it depends on situation, person, job etc. just be yourself and her response will be an excellent indication.

Don't send me a pic of you're dick... That's for sure... Now it's a different story if I take the pic and I have it but I don't want to randomly be at work and a penis pops up on my phone...
Just basic day to day Convo, maybe a little bit of light sexual talk if you're dating about what you want to do when you get home other wise keep it simple and ill respond. Get annoying or vulgar and that's a turn off

[ElectraMaddox]

Or sitting next to my 95 year old grandma and a penis is on my phone... Seriously...

[dan991]

Damnit.... now I gotta take a different pic to send both of you

This - I don't know if I'm a werido, but I like when a man takes the time to use full words, type out 'you' instead of 'u' etc. Shows you care enough to put the extra time in ;p

[DOSA]

but its such a pain int he ass to spell everything out.....and im an old man

[ElDude]

Is there a story behind this?!

Thanks for the input ladies, definitely appreciate it!! I will try and just be myself and see how it goes. Have been out of the dating world for a bit and it can be tough to get back in to!

Realistically texting is great especially if you're both busy. I think its fun to talk and flirt. In the beginning you're getting to know each other and feel each other out. I mean you too already hung out and did the dirty so, there's no nerves or anticipation. So at least you can make plans and feel relaxed. You already scored, you know she obviously likes you and said yes to you hanging out so you're golden... You did everything right. Just keep doing it.

Text her but don't send her ten in a row like a freak if she doesn't answer chances are she's doing something.
I don't think you need full words for everything. I abbreviate a lot except when I am expressing my emotions.
So if you're telling her you like her or enjoy the time you spend together then I would make the effort to type it out. If you're just talking about the weather, I'm pretty sure she won't care.
Just ask her questions about herself and what she likes and incorporate it in to your next date so she knows you pay attention and sees that you like her... I honestly think you'll be fine

What if we tuck it between the legs and there's no penis to be seen? Mangina is still welcomed I presume?
