So I have been using this direct approach that J Smooth stickied, and it seems to work great so far. My only question is, how long do you guys play the text flirting game before you just call the HB, and whats the best way to transition to it? Is it best to call during Comfort phase or Attraction phase? Seems if I call to quickly after I text they don't answer, but texting too long will make calling seem even more uncomfortable, and you risk having things fizzle out. So about how many text messages or days of texting before making the call is best? Any recommendations for good phone conversation topics? My text and person to person game is good, but I hate the phone game. Any feedback is appreciated, I'm kinda new to this. Thanks

he madness of love
Is a rich fief;
Anyone who recognized this
Would not ask Love for anything else:
It can unite Opposites
And reverse the paradox.
I am declaring the truth about this:
The madness of love makes bitter what was sweet,
It makes the stranger a kinsman,
And it makes the smallest the most proud.

So I want to turn your attention to this subject: "Loving Your Enemies." It's so basic to me because it is a part of my basic philosophical and theological orientation the whole idea of love, the whole philosophy of love. In the fifth chapter of the gospel as recorded by Saint Matthew, we read these very arresting words flowing from the lips of our Lord and Master: "Ye have heard that it has been said, "Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy." But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven."
