Given that there are probably a few guys, including myself, that have started to resort to texting as a means to either a) maintain a girl(s) or b) establish a new connection with a girl. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread with some tips and examples of how to rethink our text game for the long term, rather than the typical aloof build-up then meet style.

A friend of mine, who is very emotionally tuned with girls, is amazing at texting. Even after things end with a girl, he is still in contact with them and has them frequently getting back in touch with him. Initially, I thought that maybe it was because he was such a good lover to them, but then having had many of my own experiences as a lover with girls where our parting of ways is a positive one, due to life circumstances or things outwith our control. I noticed that those girls, even though we had great connections and shared so much about ourselves, would never get back in touch with me.

By all means, I could reach out to them and possibly rekindle things, depending on their circumstances. However, that would require me to get the ball rolling, which is not worth it when a new girl can be found with a similar or less level of effort. My friend on the other hand, has the girls coming back to him! After talking in-depth with him about it, I noticed it was largely down to his texting style and his ability to connect so well over it. Girls are hooked by it.

Reading through some of @Razorjack's posts I can't help but notice that he has some of that emotional tuning with girls. In his post, what he says sounds exactly like something my friend would say.

I'm wondering if others here have that "natural" understanding of what a woman is saying and how it is they interpret and respond to that through text.

How does someone, like myself, adjust from being a robotic/pragmatic face value texter to something more emotional and vulnerable, whilst being fun and sexy?

What do others on here do to maintain fluid, natural text conversations with girls they either haven't slept with or have slept with but are not in mono LTRs with?

Finally, when it comes to this kind of texting, I've noticed that my friend does not follow any of the texting "rules/games". He doesn't match texts lengths, he doesn't hold back from firing one straight away back and he doesn't mirror the text style. All these things go against the mainstream advice on texting for us guys. Hence why I find it difficult to grasp, despite the clear evidence.

Good discussion grounds here. I'm following to get some notes on the same topic. Never been strong in the text game.

@Mr.Rob

It's good to see you on the Boards still. We used to talk on each others post a lot back in the day. Until I left the boards for about 2 years. I hope all is well :)

@ieatapples

I like this post very much as I am currently in this situation with a few girls. I know for a fact when quarantine ends, a lot of girls will be horny for some good dick. So I do totally understand that keeping these girls interested in your now is very important so after quarantine, you and the girls can meet up and get down to business :)

I will also keep this conversation bookmarked, I am interested to hear what other experienced guys have to say.

I am currently going through this with a girl I've only fucked once (SNL). So as you can imagine, its super easy for her to lose interest in you if its been a while since you've guys last fucked (been over a month), so maintaining that attraction throughout this entire quarantine can be quite the challenge VS say a girl you've fucked on 3+ separate occasions.

For me, the best way is to demonstrate via example. Let me explain what's going through my head and why I did what I did in response to her actions.

On Slimjim's thread about his gf being less affectionate towards him lately, I mentioned this link this girl sent me. So that's where I want to start

Bold is the interaction. Italics is my thought process

Saturday April 11

Her: https://whenwillyoucrack.com 11:47pm
Me: lol cute. what day did u get? 11:55pm
Her: you first 11: 58pm
- obvious shit test, "I'm the prize, do what I say" - so just pass the shit test in a silly way. This is not really a big deal.
Me: I asked u first :p 11:59pm - I use this emoji at the end quite frequently, because it was the first emoji she sent me, after I sent her my name via text when I left her apartment that morning. I want as much "we are similar" for Cialdini's liking principle to work for me. Also note, the quick response to her shit test (less than 1 minute in the time interval) That means it was an intuitive response from me (more an honest signal of who I am) VS waiting 5-15 minutes to come up with a witty reply to her shit test. No "fuck wouldn't she think I'm needy if I respond too quickly. What if she thinks I don't have a life?" bullshit. I'm on my fucking phone, what else could I be doing in quarantine?
Her: Are we seriously playing this game old man? Just tell me? - 12:00AM
Her: It said that you've already lost it, didn't it? :p - 12:01AM
Double text haha. It worked beautifully. Now she couldn't just leave it at that one response. Because that's me being high value (she's asking for information from me ("just tell me"). The "old man" is callback humor (she calls me grandpa sometimes too and I call her grandma - for roleplay (no actual roleplays of us doing old people shit together yet haha). But yeah like I said, she couldn't leave it at that, so she shit tests me again. So here I saw the word "lost" and I misinterpreted in the context of a win-lose situation.
Me: It said I cant because I never lose :cool:12:02AM - Ignored her first text and just responded to her shit test. But you see the problem I've created here. With neither of us letting up our frames (super fucking huge egos). if you don't tell me yours, I won't tell you mine. Fine! Fine! lol. So I decide to lose this petty battle and focus on winning the war.
Me: *Screenshot of date I got* 12:06AM
Her: I'm due a week after so i guess I'll see you in hell :p 12:22AM -
10+ minutes have past. NOW I can look needy if I were to respond in a minute. I couldn't think of anything to really respond to her text when I saw it, so I decided to let it go at that. Let her think that I moved on to something else because she took too long to respond.

Sunday April 12

Her: * Meme of this cat pulling two different...you know what fuck it lemme find the link real quick. here
Her: Horngy 10:31PM - Now here is where understanding what she's saying and responding to THAT. comes in play. See the week previous to this, I wanted to find out how she felt about me coming over. I tested the waters by texting her, what she meant by she's in "lockdown" (that was the word she used)? did she mean that she can't leave the house or invite anybody over? or how does that work? (I tried to bury that "invite anybody over" in there. But she obviously knew what I was doing. Smart cookie). And from her response to my inquiry it was sounded like she was quite serious about not letting anybody over. I took this information into account in my response to her. Without this context, yeah it sounds like a booty call lol. An inexperienced seducer would fall right into her beta bait. But not this guy :cool:
Me: Same :( 10:35PM - We are both struggling through this (similarity. We are two horny fuckers). But this also tells me she's feeling super horny at the moment (despite high probability of rejecting my offer to take care of her lil' situation). And I was gonna leave it at that. Especially since she did not respond to my text (didn't really need to but ya). But I wanted to test the waters, on where I stood with her. It had been quite a while since I've done anything to 'turn her on'. I've only been maintaining attraction up to this point. Let's see how she responds to this.
Me: It's so bad you don't understand. Like right now if you were in front of me I would be twice as aggressive with you as I was the first time.
Me: Just like orgasm after orgasm after orgasm
Me: Force you to wash ur dirty sheets. with all the cum stains on it instead of blood stains this time 12:18AM -
To get what you want outta somebody. Think in terms of what they want, and the benefits they'll receive from doing what I want. #CarnegieGame. Hypothetical situation. Twice as aggressive is callback to first night, where she talked about how aggressive I was (and I could see how that turned her on. So by saying 2X THAT energy...you can imagine how super powerful that felt reading that). From there (she's at this point imagining me being aggressive) I talk about multiple orgasms. and then I use the word "force" because it's congruent with the aggressive frame. did not specify whose cum made those stains. blood stains is in reference to her period blood on her sheets, but is also is congruent with the aggressive frame.
Her: Its so bad that my lower abdomen clenched just reading that <sigh> 6:57am -
First thing she saw in the morning. Worked perfectly. Like "fuck I want that". NO FUCKING SHIT TESTS. Ball is in her court. My inspiration for not responding to her text came from a post by Hector Castillo. In his thread, he talks about how the last thing she (a not super compliant girl) sees in the text exchange between you guys will highly influence whether or not she'll flake again (I.e. if the last thing she see's is that you asked her out, and she said "omg I'm so sorry but something came up" :( that's what she'll see when you text her again (unless she feels super guilty about flaking on you, and initiates the texts if your free that day) and likely flake again. ("Oh yeah, I flaked on him that day...and idk...I'm not feeling it again today," leading her to flake again" - Hector) But if the last thing she sees when she looks at the last couple of messages between you guys, is that you guys had a fun little back and forth after she rejected your offer, then that's what she'll see (the positive emotions. completely forgetting about the bad emotions from having to flake on you). And she'll be more receptive to actually meeting up this time). So here, with this girl. I want this last text from her. To really linger for her (its been I think 5 days since this text exchange) anytime she sees the message history or thinks about texting me. How sexually frustrated she is. How I can solve her problem (and I'm not even TRYING to solve her problem). Have her reallyyyy rethink how "serious" she is about not inviting anybody over.

But ya that's where I'm at with this one :p

Sorry for making this post all about me lol. But hopefully there's some lessons in that pile of shit you can takeaway from this:)
