Obviously calling makes you a total badass and even if she doesn't like you she'll answer, and she'll like you that much more for having called her and proven your manliness. And if she doesn't answer, it's just because she's busy so just keep calling and calling and calling and calling until she answers. Sometimes the number may get disconnected, but obviously that's because they've lost their phone, so look for them on Facebook or Myspace so you can message them for their new number.

 

And never text to set up a date! If the attraction is there and she likes you a lot in person, and is eager to hear from you or worried that she won't, texting her will make you look weak and she won't like you anymore! Call her at least once a day for the first month or so you date. I can't believe you guys don't know this! Also, girls like guys that are really clingy and needy, so you have to let her know how much you care and put her up on a pedestal by the end of the first date. If you text, she may not know if you really like her. You don't want her to have to wonder at all...she needs to know how much you like her right off the bat and do everything every one else does. Women hate mystery. Oh and make sure you always pay for her too! You need to be a gentleman, and it's a gentleman's job to pay. And wear nice pleated khaki pants and a button down shirt. I prefer them with a nice cashmere argyle cardigan, but that's just me. You could also opt for a nice sweater vest or a tweed jacket.

I bet you're a sweetheart on the phone... :love:

 

I have no problem texting to begin a conversation, but if we go back and forth a few times within a couple minutes, then I'll call because it's obvious she's available to talk and a 5 minute phone call can accomplish the same thing as 50 texts over an hour...

 

 

I clam up on the phone, :o Although, I do agree, sometimes it is better to just call and take it from there, it's quicker, more efficient etc. Although there's nothing that beats the feeling of getting that text from that person you most want to hear from :love::o

I only text my friends to see if they want to chill, if there is a woman involved who I really like then I will call her. I hate this texting back and fro, it's too unpersonal. you might as well use msn messenger. :rolleyes:

 

Girls who only text are a total turn off for me, I won't bother with women who cannot even speak down a telephone, it tells me that are insecure and have confidence issues.

That means you are probably never going to date anyone under the age of 23/24.

 

These women nowadays just LOVE the texting.

 

You'll call them, leave a voicemail and they'll text you immediately with: What's up?

 

I love me a REAL woman who'll pick up the phone and get past that texting nonsense. I guess I'm segregating myself from a certain age group of women. The worst part is a lot of "boys" are the same too now, always texting and never wanting to put in any real effort.

I'm 22 and I have met women in their mid to late twenties who prefer texting, I don't spend long on the phone anyway, no more than ten minutes maximum and if it's to set up a date then no more than a few minutes, just to make arrangements, I save conversation for the date itself.

 

In a one minute conversation I can say what I want, where as that one minute conversation in text message terms will be spread over four or five text messages, it's totally pointless.

Specially when they write:

I didn't understand a word of that lol.

 

My texts go like this "hey friend, what are you doing tonight, do you want to go and party?". Short and straight to the point, not all this nonsense. :lmao:

So funny. inSTaNt brEAkuP!!!

 

I find the new craze is to text rather than talk. Many problems with sarcasm and humor, but I'm not a long talker, so in some ways it's good for me. I always ask my friend on a date through text all the time. Keep it short and simple "Hey, what are you plans this friday? free to go out with me?

I know what you mean ive actually seen worse its like speak English please! every one text in my country for EVERYTHING even business.

 

Its quite common for text to be a huge part of everyday life prob cause calling on a mobile over here costs so much if I remember right its way cheaper back in the states to call.
