Hey there i've recently got into PUA and am loving it. Every time I go out I learn something new and have a better time than the last. Anyway I made a note of the 3 text game rules I always follow so I figured id share them. They have worked great for me so far

1. Always take longer to respond than her
2. Never send more texts than her (Ie;she sends you one text dont send her 2 back)
3. Never invest more into the conversation than her (she sends you a one line message don't keep sending back paragraphs)

The thing I like about these is that there short, simple and easy to remember. Now there are always exceptions to each rule but for 90% of the situations I've used them in they've worked great! An example for the last one would be if she asked you "Tell me about your last relationship" and then you reply with a detailed message about it to gain rapport. Like I said there are some exceptions but the majority of the time follow them and you'll be good! Good luck and thanks for reading

Nice. Duly noted because I hate texting but all the girls love it.

4. Try to keep it under 140 characters.

5. Make your texts worth it (this may sound ambiguous, basically strive for all of your texts to build attraction). There are so many people who fuck this one up on this forum. I keep seeing people post their text messages and it looks like they're 5th graders flirting.

6. No fucking "xD" ":)" keep emoticons out. It makes you look like a fag.

7. Make your texts easy to respond to. This is key if you want her on a ball & chain.

8. Let her text you fucking first. Ok, so there are some exceptions (once a week, after you just had sex with her). A few times a week I won't respond, just to bait a double text from her hours after I haven't responded (showing that she wants to talk to me)

If you can't text, learn too. I've fucked up sooo many (about 2-3 in high school) due to pussy texting "xDDDDD". Get some experience. [/b]

I can pretty much agree with your 1st 3. There's always exceptions, but that's not important here. The 3 I would add are:

3. Don't text more than 2/3 sentences per message
2. Respond to only 1 of the things she says/asks
1. Don't text (or at least as little as possible)

Texting is a surefire way to fuck up. The less of it you do, the better.

If there's one thing I agree with more than anything else in this topic, it's this. Texting is just asking to fuck up.

When it comes to texting, my only problem is that i would text as if i was speaking to them in person that's why my texts always end up being too long :S
I TOTALLY AGREE ON THAT ONE

Texing is not a surefire way to fuck up unless you don't know what the fuck you're doing.

This could not be further from the truth. Girls love texting, you just have to know how to do it properly... how much reference experience do you have with this? In three years of "Game" I have rarely called girls, as opposed to texting them. Initially things didn't go well, but lately my skills have definitely sharpened and I get them to invest more in texting interactions. I guess it all depends on how the initial interaction went. Texting, calling, I guess everyone has their own style... do whatever works for you!

I don't call - just text. But all my text conversations LEAD to arranging our next meet up. I won't just text her for the hell of it. I'm not going to ask her about her day, or have drawn-out interactions for no reason. Why the fuck would you opt to talk about things via text rather than in person? I follow the same kind of rules. No emoticons, keep it short, sweet and to the point. Never have more than one question in your text, and never answer more than one of her questions in your replies.

Amen. texting is bitch.

What I meant is that it's almost completely unnecessary, so why run the risk of doing it in the first place? There's very little attraction that can be built from texting, and absolutely none that can't be built better through an actual encounter.
That's true. A lot of the girls I hang out with never stop texting! And the really hot one are usually texting a couple of guys at the same time. Maybe it's ego, maybe it's efficiency, but I don't wanna be just another one of those guys. I can't get the same expressiveness (paralinguistics) through with a text, so it cuts out the most important part of my message.

I genuinely believe, more and more lately, that less is more. I don't do any of that "being unavailable" bullshit. I do my own thing, and when I'm available I'm available, when I'm not, I'm not. I achieve the same effect, indirectly, by just not wasting time on stuff that don't bring me closer to my goal.
I've been texting girls for a good 8 or 9 years now, but only got into game about 4/5 years ago, and only got decent at it in the last year.
I'd agree with some of that. I usually never call girls. 2/3 quick texts and that's the date set. Sometimes I'll call the evening before and confirm it's on.
As far as investment goes, I think it's a waste of time. It's not difficult to get a girl to invest using texts - as pointed out above, girls LOVE texting. Investing in texting a guy really doesn't mean much to them.
The amount of girls who'll be really flirty and sexual with their messages and then you meet them and they're nonchalant about the whole thing is incredible.

Essentially, if you've done your job right, a few quick, snappy, texts should do the job for you to get a date. If you can get a date then why even bother texting her?
I don't avoid texts altogether. If a girl keeps messaging me I'll message her back, I'm not dry or anything. Simplify people, simplify. The biggest problem in the community is over-gaming.

EDIT Haha, another big reason I don't usually text is that I rarely have credit. I can send web-texts but I'm hardly ever at home except in the mornings and late evenings.

Good point.

Some people can text well, many can't. I will say that although I generally follow those first 3 rules, I break all three fairly regularly and still do fine.

I really don't try to accomplish anything with my texting, except get meet-ups. If a girl texts me just to talk, I may have a normal conversation (normal for me is a little sexual), but probably only half the times she tries, otherwise I ignore. If she invites me out, I always respond, and I often invite girls out via text.

With the possible exception of # 3, these rules are silly, childish, and try hard.
