2 minutes interactions or less.. Are you better of calling or texting?

[lux7]

One of Chase's articles states you need to call a girl when you meet for 2 minutes or less.

In other articles Chases stresses how he uses texts for most everything.

What do you think?
Do you think it's still better to call girls you only had a very short interaction with?

I think texting still is the way to go. The less time you spent talking to a girl, the less time you had to make a mistake, so if you guys had a good conversation, then texting would be fine. If the conversation wasn't go too well, neither a text nor a phonecall would really make the difference. But just text her anyways, see what happens

Anyone else got an opinion on this?

I find it tricky, a message is more "low key", a phone call is more powerful but more demanding on the receiver's side, who might avoid picking up when shy or legitimately busy.

I was rereading some of Chase's advice lately and in the fine print it says he used to be a HUGE proponent of calling over texting, now does everything via text, BUT, and here is the kicker, he doesn't think you can really master texting until you've mastered calling first, and I 100% agree with this. My bad texting has lost me like hundreds of dates and yet there's still no clear formula for a good text in my mind, at least not one with a proven track record of working for me. Now I call by voice (unless it's an icebreaker, a post-sex text or a simple logistical issue) and after some practice it's working for me.

Hi Ray!

So now you moved to phone conversation with the idea of (possibly) going back to texting?

Any tips for phone conversation?
How do you start, how do you get her talking.. ?

I thought Chase recommend texting over calling since texting is less intrusive, but if I can choose, I would choose calling.
I do feel like calling them can reassure them you're not some creep and hence they're less likely to flake on you. I had a lot of good interactions that just gone cold over text.
One of my biggest fear is that when she picks up she's busy or she doesn't pick up and don't return my call....Hmmm
I think I'm quite good on the phone, but I have never tried calling a girl I just met. There were times when a girl would give me her number and ask me to call her later, but I would always just resort to texting and ultimately things just went cold, so maybe I should've called.

So when is a good time call her? one or two days after you send the icebreaker text?

Well, I want to believe that none of the principles thought here on GC is cast in stone or rock. Everything thought here has a significant measure of flexibility....so the question of whether or not you text/call a girl after only 2mins of having interacted with her shouldn't be viewed and practised with rigid strictness.

For me, I've gathered a tad of experience to know how to make my process work a treat for me. And I'm proud to say that I got those experiences from hundreds and possibly thousands of experimentation with texting and calls, most of them often resulting in painful failures.

My advice is this...

Buff up your fundamentals to a T (it's the foundation of your success), approach as many girls as you possibly can, and no matter what, always try to MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION whenever you have the opportunity to. Experiment with the two methods, compare results, and stick with whatever method works the most treat for you. This your learning stage. Utilize it.

The amazing thing about the art of seduction is that, at times, to truly master and appreciate a skill being thought, one has got to experience the same failures, in lesser equal or greater measure, that his dating coach or adviser went through.

For me, there are times when texts undermined my chances, and also times when I appeared so utterly anxious over the phone I could tell the girl could hear,feel and see what a pussy I was. Lol. But that was in the past when I just started out. Things are much better these days....and truth is: I don't have any one specific method I strictly use. I guage the situation and choose whatever method I find apropos for the task, be it texts or calls. Depending on circumstances, I can use, at any time, either of the two.

Hey Moolar, thanks for weighing in.

Yes, it's true there are not many principles cast in stone and also depends no personality types.

Though some techniques do possibly tend to result in more success than others no?

For example, how would you gauge whether or not to go for text or call?
And what about actually asking her whether she prefers text or call?
