Hey got a question for you guys...

Recently gamed a HB10 online, after a couple week of messaging got the number close and had her shoot me a text. Her first text is as follows:

"Hey xxxx- it's xxxx. Thanks for the email- hope you have a happy new year- get a tad crazy for me"

I waited roughly an hour and sent back, "hey you, hope your feeling better (she was sick or something) I will, happy new year to you also- Just a tad.."

After that I didn't send anything or call because it's just the initial first text interaction plus its new years and i had tons of stuff going on. I know it might seem a little afc back but that's because I just want to get her comfortable enough for a meet up before I act to much c/f, neg, etc. My text game and phone game suck at times but online game is great the majority of the time. I know shes getting tons of emails etc, I just figure strike while the irons hot so I can use momentum to my advantage.

I don't send anything the next day then today sent just a simple text in order to calibrate her interest, my text: "hey xxx, nice hearing from you on friday- how was your new years?

I know its afc and not too interesting but thought I would experiment with it. She didn't respond yet but here i'm wondering do I wait 5 days and freeze her out completely then maybe call? I don't want to build up a negative no-ladder so need some advice on my next move. Any suggestions on what you think I have done wrong or could be improved is appreciated

NO! Freeze outs are for LMR, why do people think it's for anything else? After you get a number online, the clock is ticking, every day you wait, it's less likely you'll ever meet up, in my experience. 2 weeks is the deadline for sure. Text game blows hard, it's not fun at all. If you can get her on the phone, you can do days worth of texting in a few minutes. If she won't even talk to you on the phone, what are the odds she'll meet you?

31 and still figuring it out.

Agreed good point, I mean with the hb10s they are already getting blown up with all the people online and I'm sure they give out their number to tons. I'm going to experiment with immediately hitting up phone game right after I get their first text or what not and see what happens on the next few.

Using internet and text is a great way to get to know someone. If you spend to much time online and text building comfort you will become a friend only, you need to turn online text game into real life as soon as possible.

you never want to use txt like you have nothing better to do or suddenly a girl is the most important thing you have going on. You got other stuff to do, go to work etc. Stuff that's important to you, that you can dhv with perhaps. At this point she doesn't rate highly enough for you to stop doing stuff for. nor that you owe explanations why you're not going to answer for a while. Saying that you don't want to leave em cold for too long at a time either. txt is kinda like an endlesss IM but I find it's better to burst txts at times that are convenient for you and then leave them hanging. It's only playing games if you really don't have other things to do. In fact do other stuff, even if it's as mundane as tidying up. and then hit em back with "whew that's the house cleaned...." but you still need an endgame strategy.

Interesting thing about txt, you never know where someone might be with their phone, assuming they haven't said or you haven't asked directly, seems perfectly reasonable to me to ask if they're free or have time to take a call whilst your having your mini txt conversation. it puts them on the spot and it's more direct than potentially having to leave a message and then you don't know what's happening.
