Hey all.  Here is the situation.  I got a number close from an older HB8 at a bar over the weekend.  She was really into me. i.e. heavy kino, overt IOIs.  She actually asked for my number which I grudgingly gave her.  Everything short of a kiss close, I should have gone for it but I’m still a novice.  Even texted me on the way out to tell me she was leaving.  So…she’s a texter.  I am new to the text game and need a little advice.  I have read up on some texting strategies and I think I have the basics. Be interesting (duh), lighten up on the C&F, always end texts with questions, vary response time.  Do any gurus out there have some additional advice for me? 
 
Here is the plan.  Today is 2 days since I met her.  I am going to text her after I get off work tonight.  Up until this point the only exchange we have had is:
 
Her:  Have a safe night I’m out.
Me:  (next day) Nice meeting you.  Had a good time.
Her: Me too.
 
Pretty standard AFC stuff and then I started to read up on some game.  Here is the plan going forward.  At the club I ran a routine on her that went something like this:
 
Her: I’m from (neighborhood). 
Me: No kidding.  My folks grew up there. The other day I saw the craziest thing.  Some dude was marching down the street in full Nazi regalia.  As silly as he looked and as wrong as his viewpoint is I had to admire the courage of a white dude walking through a black neighborhood like that.
Her:  Laughs. Yeah it’s gotten really bad.  There are a lot of black people in (neighborhood) now.
Me:  Wow! So you’re a racist?
Her: No, no, (laughs) that’s not what I meant.  I mean I don’t mind black people…
Me: …as long as they don’t live where you live.  I see how it is.
Her: Stop! (playfully), etc.
 
Now, I plan on sending her a text this afternoon referencing that routine. 
Me: (future text):  So I saw the (neighborhood) Nazi again on my way in from town today.  I think I got his schedule down pretty good.  When do you want to meet him?
 
Tips are appreciated.  Thanks

Ok. So we had a text conversation all evening. Mixed results. The conversation was a bit dry but she was responsive.

Me: I was at a client site today and the building caught fire! What exciting things have you been up to?
Her: Ha Ha. Nothing as exciting as that! Stuck working late and sick. That's as exciting as it gets today.
Me: Bummer. The only thing that I hate more than working late is burning to death while working. Hey, you're in the medical field right? Think I can sue for PTSD?
Her: I'm in the medical insurance field, but I'm thinking you dont have a case
Me: Oh well. I will have to find another way to retire. So..what's you're favorite 80s movie?
Her: 80s movie..the breakfast club. What's yours.
Me:That's a good one. My favorite John Hughes movie is Say Anything. #1 overall 80s Movie is Conan the Barbarian...of Course.
Her: I forgot about say anything. I love that movie.
Me: You're so cute. You remind me of my little sister. She's crazy about teen movies. Typical girl . So when are we getting together this week?
Her: How about next week I'll b working late on a project for work and the holiday this weekend...it's a busy week
Me:I'm going to be in Philly late next week for my buddy's wedding. We'll have to see. I'll get in touch with you later this week. Work for you?
Her: Sounds good.

Alright. Not bad for a first run I guess. If I call her later this week and she shoots me down then I will know for sure that I'm out. She was respoinding fairly quickly, Average response was about 10 minutes for her. Whereas I was responding about every 30 minutes, varying response times from quickly. 9 minutes to slowly, 1 hour. I kind of wish she had been a little more flirty but, oh well. At least I kept her talking. Thoughts are appreciated.

AFC. Step up if you want to FCloze.

I'd be direct. Ooze sexuality through your texts. She wont be able to resist.

Maybe:
AFC: what time is it?
HB: ???
AFC: fuck time

Should lead to an FCloze.

Look forward to hearing your progress.

Brilliant! Anyone else?

No idea about this guy tbh.. Seems to be a troll.

Yeah. I came to that conclusion as well.

I'm not a guru but I agree with Nerikaspua. I think coming on that heavy when you haven't even k-closed would be overkill and vulgar. Instead, how about a line like:
"What are you up to? Come get in to my bed."

I think you've played it well so far. Firstly, by waiting as long as she was to text, then gradually getting into more of a rhythm and setting the agenda. I also like that you've not just become a robot but have mixed the material you've used with fluff, seemed much more natural that way. But now, if you want to escalate, which I think is necessary some throw away lines might be:

• I now understand the TRUE meaning of freedom! HB-Why? I’m not wearing any underwear!
• Those beautiful eyes….Those sexy lips……..The smoothest walk…..But enough about me, how are u doing?
• "What's going on in your fucked up world right now?"
• "How much do you love me today?"
• "I want you naked in my bed right now"

(Props to DeeBoy) Also, when using any of these lines, especially the more sexual ones remember to add in lots of "hey sexy"/"hey angeleyes" and the like, as well as using lots of smileys , winks , kisses "xx".

Good feedback bro. Right now I am thinking I wait until tomorrow night and throw her a semi-sexy line. I like the smooth walk...soft lips,etc.

I also wanted to try a more off beat routine I saw online.

Me: Hey have you turned into a cat!? Meow once for yes and twice for no.
Her: yes,no,meow. Doesn't really matter what she says.
Me: because I saw this little kitten in my parking lot that looked just like you. It staggered up to me like it was drunk and rubbed against my leg. Cats hate me so I figured it was you.

You've got a good form of attraction there, seems like you make her laugh. Speak on the phone soon and definitely meet her as soon as, you do need to take the lead with being a bit more direct, otherwise I can see you falling into the LJBF zone.

brilliant shit ashnerhuga!

Thanks for the vote of confidence bro. Much appreciated. I wholeheartedly agree that if I dont get her on a date soon I will be in the friend zone. I am a little put off that she did'nt accept my offer for a date this week, but she is a career woman so she may in fact be as busy as she says. Anyway, I'm not going to overthink it. Gonna make her sweat for a couple of days and then give her a call late Thursday night.

In any case this has been great practice so far and even if it doesn't work out I wont feel bad. Besides I am gonna go out and sarge over memorial day weekend and add a bunch more hotties to my prospect list.

That's the spirit man! You have no reason to feel bad, you make your moves, sometimes they work and when they don't you alter things in your own way for the next time etc.

Update.  Called her last night and got her VM.  Instead of leaving a message and looking try-hard I sent a text.
 
Me: Hey…called earlier.  My schedule is pretty packed but maybe coffee after work next Tues.  Would like to get to know the sober daylight (Name).  Sound good?
Her: Sorry had my phone on vibrate not feeling well but Tuesday sounds good.
Me: Alright.  6:00 the Starbucks in (Location)?  Don’t be afraid to call me in the meantime.  I promise I wont hypnotize you with my sexy voice . Feel better.
 
Ok.  Thoughts.  I am pleased that she accepted the date and I feel that I am negotiating this time bridge pretty well.  When I called her voice on the Voicemail was bitchier that I remembered.  I implanted that thought in my head to work my inner game so that I can carry a strong frame into the meeting.  Several possibilities exist. 
 
1)      She wants to get together but is not into me and just wants to be friends.  Which would be cool with me, at this point I am not sure if I want anything from her anyway.
2)      She will flake.  Which would piss me off but would give me some practice dealing with rejection.  Even if I lose, I win this has been great practice.  I had virtually no experience with kino escalation and texting before I met her in that bar.  Practice makes perfect, etc.
3)      She is totally into me. Which would be good for obvious reasons.  This gives me the opportunity to escalate the situation as I see fit.  If she is the least bit interested in me when we sit down on Tuesday then I have total control.
 
Thanks for all your help thus far fellahs.  I appreciate the insight. 

-With text game, I believe it is vital to, as soon as possible get her back into the 'vibe' that was going on while you were interacting. Happened to me more then once that I met a girl, great vibe, #-close, but then when I called her I had no more physical routines to jump-start the old vibe and it went less well.
Easiest way to do this is a call-back. Did you give her a nickname during the interaction? Did something funny happen you can refer to? Throw that in and she'll get back into at least some part of the vibe.

-Other then that, I'd keep the amount of texts between meets as short as possible. I dislike text game myself, prefer a call or sometimes a random / emergency text. Texting, like chatting over the internet, takes away 95% (Made-up statistic, you get the point) of your tools. Kino is gone, delivery is often gone, physical attraction is gone, longer routines / gambits are gone, vibing is a lot tougher, etc. So what I'm trying to say is, if you try text game for too long while not seeing her face-to-face, your good image will be distorted by all the 'bs.'

Though like I said, I dislike text game, which causes me to not be as experienced.

+1

Keep text game to a minimum, call if you want to speak, let her hear your voice, don't keep the conversation too long, set up a meet, most of the time with text game it's one big circle of crap.
