First thing- texting isn't a good idea... ever... That gives her the power.
Have to disagree with you here Apollo. If you got skills in texting and follow some basic guidelines, texting can be better than phoning. When texting, I usually get a date-close within 6-7 texts.
to show some example, here is one from me and one from Sean at PU101
Xen: Hey
HB8: Hi cutie, what are you doing?
Xen: watching two birds soar around eachother, really sweet =)
HB8: Hihi
Xen: I wonder if they always lived in that tree or if they are recently moved in neighbours.
HB8: Yeah, well that can be sorta hard to find out.
Xen: You know, we should play birdwatchers some day, then we can go and interview them and se how its really like
HB8: Haha sure thing, Im in!
HB8: I gotta go now having dinner with my parrents tonight, but can I call you later?
Xen: Sure , got coffee plans
HB8: Oh , well then maby I won't interupt, I can se what the clock is though.
Xen: No no silly, I meant with you.
HB: Ah haha, Ill call you after dinner then. Kiss
Did this sort of lines several times, although this one has some misstakes, they worked all the time but one, cause she was just complaining about her work and so on, so I called her after a few texts and got her to ask me out that way instead.
Sean: Hey sexy. How is my adorable little brat?
A: Haha…just fine! And u?
Sean: Great! The sun is finally out, spring is in the air, I love it!
A:It was 86 here today! Its gonna be a hot summer.
Sean: You like it hot?
A: I like it warm and breezy
Sean: Hmmm… Interesting… Says a lot about you. So when I call later, are you gonna answer? I can't believe I even have to ask…
[note: I had called twice and she didn't answer both times, but she sent me texts back apologizing for not being able to talk]
A: Haha..call @ 1030 and i will answer
Sean: That's past my bedtime. I'll have to call my mom for permission.
A: Dork
Sean: Ah, baby, I love you too.
A: Call me @ 1030..i should be done by then
Sean: If you're not, I'm filing for divorce
A: Haha..u make me smile
Sean: Yup. Talk later.
This talk is something that you should look at, since you messed up a bit with calling to her Voice Mail twice ...
the basics is to keep in short (12-20) words, CF method, Dont use leet speak spell correctly, Use rich despriptions,example: (Sean: Great! The sun is finally out, spring is in the air, I love it!) (Xen: watching two birds soar around eachother, really sweet =) ), instead of just saying im fine thanks or similar. Use happy faces to underline the feeling you are going after.
There are some more to it but as you get used to it, you can calibrate it on your own.
If I were in your shooes I would prolly text her, but giving her the chance to call you back first, though I sorta doubt that she is gonna. When texting your first mess, at the end, sign with your name. this only goes for the first mess you send to a person.
