NON-STARTER TXT = EPIC FAIL

Text messages are great for flirting.  They're discreet, non-committal, and make your pockets vibrate.

But, text flirting is a craft.  And most of you are bad at it.

"How have you been" or "what are you doing?" in a text is retarded.  Texts are not for conversations.  These are non-starters.  The response to those questions -- "good" or "chillin" -- do not provoke any other sort of response.  The conversation is dead. 

WHAT NOT TO DO: 

him: hey, how've you been?
her: very busy but good.  what have you been up to?
him: looking for a job.  hope you've been well.

Can he read?!  She already answered the question of whether she's been well or not.  She is clearly trying to continue the conversation; and yet, with his non-starter text, the conversation fails.  She didn't respond.

ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE: 

him, at 6pm: want to get drinks tonight?
her: nothing

FYI: No girl wants to be a last minute person. get with it.

The point is: Guys need to be MEN.  Be chivalrous.  Take the initiative.  If you want to ask a woman out, fucking ask her out.  Stop with this "how've you been" bullshit.  We're smart enough to know that you're just trying to maintain enough contact so that we don't forget about you.  It's not working. 

Next time you're into someone, try this txt: "Are you busy Thursday?  I'd love to see you." 

ANYTHING ELSE = EPIC FAIL.

Maybe that's just the appetizer, you need to wait for the entree.
