I don't see how 5 or 20 min or an hour between text is a big deal. Several hours is a big deal. But everybody is doing stuff, like driving, in class, at work, eating dinner, etc, where they are not going to be able to text every minute. What is going to be a problem is if you text back every time right away, like you are just waiting for them, or if you blow them off by waiting several hours. But I agree, with keeping it random and unpredictable, like once in a while text back right away, then in an hour, then in 10 min, like you would if you have other stuff going on, which you should.

Well, Puffer, the deal is that it depends on how young the girl is. A lot of girls even well into their 20s are glued to their phones, and are texting many different people constantly. They expect immediate gratification and immediate responses, because often, that's what they are giving in return. But if I was texting my grandmother, I'd be lucky if I got a reply within a few days. It just depends on the girl.

I used this on about a half dozen HBs and it's a split 50/50 answer...They're all are quick to reply with the question, then to the nevermind and finally the answering honestly...I wait a while, send the smurf question...Either get no reply in which I followup with the calling her out which still gets me no reply...Or I get an instant reply of something along the lines of "blah blah blah...But that's not REALLY what you were going to ask, was it?" So two situations to have a pre planned reply for...

I'm new but here's a full proof tweek I came up with. It's a direct hit. After the build up and waiting periods....

Question: How many time's did you look at your phone waiting for this question?

Her: Alot ( or decent number of times use your own discretion if it's enough for you)

PUA: Haha I got you in check!

OR

If she's smarter/cockier like one of the responses I got:

Her: Not alot. I'm busy.(etc)

(hit her with a push/pull)

PUA: You shouldn't lie. It makes you ugly. I would hate to see all your cuteness go to waste.

This will also give you an IOI if she's honest. Enjoy!
