Good post 10Pin

Maybe you can help: Got a cold link since about a week now. Last text she told me her week would be very busy. That was about 6 days ago. I want to recontact her, got a date on Thursday. Should I get back in touch or just let it cold till we meet ? Any other suggestions ? Brief message or longer one describing an event (no questions ofc) ?

Ive been working on my text game as well and this post will serve as both a follow up to my first field report and my success today with the text game.

So last night after I acquired jenna's Number I decided to wait until around noon today to text her and say that thats my number
Heres a play-by-play

Brento text: Hey Jenna,this is my number
-Brento

Jenna Text: Thanks. Shame on you for texting during chapel.

(My college has a chapel requirement for every semester, I needed to study for a class however and opted out of going today)

-Here I intentionally waited ten minutes before responding-

Brento Text: Actually,Im in my room studying! Your the one texting in chapel,
Nice try though =P

-Almost immediatly-

Jenna Text: Dang. Ok...youre the better person. Have fun!

I didnt even respond to that one on purpose.
A new PUAT(pick up artist in training) Might worry


"Oh No!, I dont want her to think im cocky!"
but dont HB's love funny/cocky men?

On my way back to my dorm from class she spots me before I spot her
and I am greeted with a very warm "Hey Brent!" accompanied with a warm smile.
With her, If I choose to pursue more then its all downhill from here compared to the initial approach.

Please submit all questions/critiques and props!

There's a lot of very good advice on this thread - I'm of the opinion that texting can, when done right, convey the sort of attitude you want to portray to others. Just remember to keep it congruent. That's the real key to anything.

I remember a friend of mine got the number of a girl he was lusting after for YEARS and almost straight away messaged her with some lame text saying 'it was great talking to you today' or some shit like that. Not the sort of thing he would normally say. Needless to say, he crashed and burned with that one (but he hooked up with and married a HB9.5, so it didn't turn out that bad)

The sort of texts I like to use are playful ones - like if a girl hasn't messaged me in awhile, I've asked (just yesterday actually), "Why haven't you messaged me lately? Were you involved in an accident that broke both of your thumbs? " The upshot of this was conversation was reinitiated and she ended up telling me I was hilarious and asking when I was going to invite her out for a drink...

Or another one, in setting up a dinner date with two girls - "I need some guinea pigs to try my cooking out on, but I'm afraid I might poison them...so I've decided people I either don't know or care about, namely you and your friend " Did it work? You bet...hook, line and sinker. They're coming over next Friday.

By themselves, these messages WON'T WORK. They work for me because I've already demonstrated to these girls the type of character I am - they know it's C/F. Sometimes I go a bit too far, and they won't reply back, but I just wait a few days and try again...I'll never apologize for their inability to either see or take a joke.

10Pin has got it down - frame control is really all it's about, and willingness to walk away should be evident in your texting. At the end of the day, it's more about giving enough value to set up another meeting than trying to further the relationship - you can't close over a text message

Weird text game spot I got into earlier today.

This girl I used to mess around with a bit texted me earlier asking what's up. We haven't really been in touch ovfer the last few months but the other week I reopened her and decided to see if I could start all over from scratch (although she now has a boyfriend) . Anyway, I responded to her saying that I was eating lunch and commenting about how it was beautiful out and Friday, a really positive frame. She didn't respond to me.

Is this a shit test? Or is that unlikely and perhaps something serious came up. Why whould she text, then when I respond ten minutes later totally flake out on the interaction? I'm not emotionally invested in the situation just wondering what the best route to take from here is so I can continue forward.

Thanks for any insight!

Great post. I can do about everything with only a phone number nowadays. Just as with instant messaging.

interesting view on miscalibration and missinterpretaion. You can use that to introduce new arguments too. Best way to use it is to get her to laugh her ass off because of what you imply, or pretend she's implied. I mean.. she's gonna get the maximum amout of emotion(good or bad) from any one of my texts.

i expierienced two things while doing text game:

1. taking her on a virtual journey works, humor works, roleplay works. starting like: "where do we both travel first after we married?"

2. with any type of escalation within texts: be cautious. ich she likes it and complies... go on... if not - stop immidiately. it can be the case, that she just cant imagine beeing touched by you while reading sms. i would only use sms for escalation if it works very good. bud: meeting her the next time can cause problems. to use an extreme example: maybe you fucked her already, virtually, within a text game. without having fucked her (real) yet... then you might get in trouble in the next date... because there is not a claer compliance-level you both share...

i prefer using sms for maintenance... not for any further gaming...
