do it in person, texting sucks, it's a great way to have contact to bridge to a meet up in person when you have to cut an interaction, but there is so much room for misinterpretation of the frame over text, it is harder to comprehend the emotional context behind the words, if you have no other choice but to build investment through text, you game them the same as you would in person, but keep your time on the phone/text limited, or you will make yourself a texting buddy that is not interested in meeting up to socialize with you, when they can do it over the phone, not only that but you are more likely to turn a girl off from over texting, then you are to turn her on, unless you have absolutely solid verbal escalation skills, and in that case, you would still be better off putting them to use in person rather then over the phone

if a girl is flaky, she either is not invested enough, or she just plain and simple isn't interested in you, you just have to do a better job in person when you first meet her and make sure she doesn't feel like you are a stranger and she will meet up, and in person is where the real game takes place, not over the phone

yo,thanks! i definitly wana meet yup with the girl in person! the hard to get one is the one im worried about! shall i just say it straitout that i "hate texting and wanna see how beutiful you are; we should do something together to get to know eachother" < or something like that?
