OK, here's the deal.

My night game and day game keep getting better and better. Everywhere I go these days I've got a big genuine smile on my face, which is a huge part of it all. I get smiles from college girls and little old ladies alike. I have very little trouble opening sets, and striking up conversations, and get all kinds of IOIs. My closing is still a little hit or miss, but I'm tweaking some little things, and can usually get a few number closes in a night out.

My problem is my text/phone game. I'm terrible at it. I must be. I can trainwreck it at the drop of a hat. I'm just wondering if anyone has some tips or good step-by-step breakdown of text or phone game that they would share?

Thanks!

You have to be more specific, what problems are you running into with texting?

Like, I'll get a series of three or four text messages back and forth, and then won't hear from her again. I usually go with something playful, and a little bit challenging instead of fluff talk or direct game... but I could be way way way off?

Well if I had to guess I'd say you're not building enough attraction with these girls before getting their numbers, hence you exchange a couple of text messages then never hear from her again. As for texting itself, you seem to have a handle on it. I would suggest that the text always be something that entices the girl to respond, a joke, teasing, something like the "evil twin" opener, shit like that. Don't just be like "Hey what's up?". Or send her a text that brings up something y'all talked about or saw when you met.

Example: I met a girl through Facebook, we exchanged some messages, I went to get her screenname but she said she didn't have any messanger programs. I said, "Well do you have a phone number or do you still prefer to use smoke signals?" She joked that she did still and gave me her number. The first time I sent her a text I said, "Hey Pocahantas, get any interesting smoke signals lately?" She said, "Well...actually..." and it went from there.

hey im hoping someone can help me, as the title suggests i'm having a problem with one-itis. But I've doing things to overcome this. Basically it's this girl from college, we went on a date a few months ago and i spend time with her at college.
Since things have been going downhill i've been hitting on other girls and spending time with them too, but I can't get this girl out of my head. I woke up to myself a few weeks ago and diagnosed myself with one-itis, and knew I was in a supremely bad situation. With the one-itis girl when i do spend time with her it's really nice and i flirt with her and it feels great, but whenever i'm away from her all sorts of weird thoughts run through my mind. I want this girl above the other ones I think she's great and I do want her to like me.
My options at the moment seem to be go with her and feel happy, but i don't know if she's that keen on me, or the other option is throw it away and feel like shit.
Maybe this goes outside the scope of PUA, i know i'm not supposed to get one-itis, but i have it.
Can someone help me? What the fuck should I do?

See, getting to that point isn't a problem - it's the after that... how long is it wise to carry on with the goofy games? What should it lead to? Should I be looking to set up a Day 2 within a few messages, or hold off? Is there such a thing as going caveman by text? I need text game, not just openers... lol

You might be right about not building enough comfort beforehand... I suppose there's such a thing as enough to get a number, but not enough for much more than that...

Right, some girls will give you the number to appease you with no intention of going forward. As for goofy text shit, after I've sent three or four back and forth with her I'll stop. I think texting is a little silly, plus I don't have unlimited texts on my plan. In my mind texting should lead to a phone call (not necessarily right after, give it a day or two or three or whatever you want) which should be used to set up a Day 2. I don't think text game is no different from real life game, you're just putting shit in text form instead of saying it. Don't make it harder than it is.

That sounds like money. I'll give it a shot.
