I understand that calling is maybe more alpha, but the way I see it is that if I don't know her too well, their's more chance of her replying to a text than a call.

Has anyone got any tips on calling and texting?

Cheers people

depends on the situation. My feeling is if you k or f closed her than i would call. The problem i see with texting is that not every girl can recieve text messages. So if you text her and she doesn't reply you give her control. Your stuck in a spot where if she can't recieve text's you dont know, but if she can and she doesnt get back to you and then you call her, that looks really needy and afc.

Well in my oppenion it just depends on your prefrence. If your a smooth talker and can hold your end of the conversation then I'd say you should call. If your not quite as comfortable with your lingustic genious then go with texting it gives you more time to sort through your thoughts. But its up to you.
I also agree with the post above.

Without even thinking about it...CALL.
Try not to spend too much time texting or talking on the phone. Save that for when you meet. See the phone only as a gadjet for setting up the date. And a TIP: dont leave answer phones messages.
Also women usually have an advantage when it comes to phone conversation, think about it how much time do they spend on these things compared to men. They're experts when
It comes to phones, they often have advantage. Keep the phone calls short if this is a problem area for you

In my experience, if you dont know her too well, you didnt really sarge her. If you dont know her, she probably doesnt know you... therefore, if you call, most likely she will ignore it, same with a text. if you had a good conversation with her, you should still have an open joke or a thread going with her. if you did, use that while calling her. dont ever start a call with "its me, remember" Hi, we met last night", or anything of the sort. Do something like make a comment about a story you told. Also, if she has a nickname you gave her, use that. or just call her up and ask her "hey, (nickname) i have a song stuck in my head, you spin me right round baby right round. who sings it? call me back when you find out" and hang up. 5 minutes later, call her back and say "dead or alive, its the name of the band who sang that song. alot of help you were"

This is sad, but I have this intuition on what to say over texting, email, or aim conversations to seduce a woman.. Maybe because I have time to think about it?

Anyways, If you have kissed her or anything more... I would call, but if you want to text....One text will do. If you send more than one, you look desperate. Same with phone calls. It really depends on the situation. I have a friend who will constantly text over and over.. To me that's repetitive and if she finally responds, you are on her digital leash...

Dont fall into that trap. Be the alpha male.

You can definitely over-text/email/IM/talk on the phone.

Try to spend as much time in person as possible.

Its a difficult one when you feel you don't her. I would call anyway. If she doesn't pick up, send her text. Make sure to neg her for not picking up. I usually call her a mouse because she's damn hard to get hold of!. Then I throw in a couple of DHV spikes and then sign off because I've got places to go (band practice, meeting friends for drinks and so on).

+1 on the call, its more direct and u can get a better feel for the situation

Me and The Saint were talking about this today. CALL. JUST CALL.

My take on it, is that with text you're getting 7% of the conversation, but with a call, you get 45%, cause you can use voice tonality which is 38%. Also, why would she not answer her phone, unless she has your number programmed in as one she doesn't want to answer, in which case she won't text you either. If you text and it doesn't "wow" her, then she's not gonna reply, so your logic is busted there.

JUST CALL. When you get further into the relationship and you can have a back and forth text without any of these issues you are thinking about, or them even coming to mind, then you can text, till then call.

JUST CALL.

That makes a lot of sense about just calling. Personally, I have very solid text game (comes from years of playing online games) but you are absolutely right about tonality and that fact that if she isn't going to answer your call she most likely won't answer your text either.

Do you'll have an opinon on not leaving a voice mail but sending a text instead? Or is the general consensus to just leave a message?

One day I'd love to know why women give out their numbers and then don't answer or return calls. Meh, I suppose there are just some things men aren't supposed to know

I don't really have much of an opinion on the text vs. voicemail, but I would think that again you get more of your message and the fun in your voice and such across, plus she might forget to check her texts, but her voicemail will beep at her every time she makes a call, so she's bound to check it pretty quick.
