One of the trickiest parts of text game, IMO, is the ping.

When you are already banthering and she is responding, going back and forth, everything seems smooth.
It's easy to use a bit of humor, to put out soft closes and probe for hard closes.
But when she is not available and you have to text her another time to set up a meet, this is when the overall mood can quickly fizzle out.

So what to do to prevent this cinderella effect on your texting?
First of all, let's address what you want from a ping.
Basically that's 2 things:
1) to keep her thinking about you as a potential cool guy
2) to reignite the feelings she had last time you guys spoke, so she will be open to meet


Although a good morning or afternoon is an integral part of basic manners, if you keep doing it over and over again it will get tiredsome fast.
She will then lump you with the rest of the chodes she has on her contact list and you can kiss goodbye to her pussy.
The trick here is to be a little creative, but concise and straight to the point at the same time.
Barring exceptions, texting with too much humor or too much flair can also backfire.
So how do we do it?

1) Pay attention to the day of the week and time of the day
Just pay attention to the day of the week.
Usually it's best to ping and try to get the date for a max of 3 days in advance.
More than that and the chances she will flake go up exponentially.
So if you are planning on taking her out Saturday, ping her Thursday or Wednesday.
You will quickly find out if she is available.
If she wants to postpone to the following week, you back off and ping her gain on Sunday evening or Monday morning, for example.
Once she agreed to the date, ping her once per day until the date happens.
Situations to avoid:
- pinging friday evening
- pinging her too early on weekends (nobody checks messages at 6am on weekends, duh).
- pinging her too late on weekends (unless phishing for a booty call or arraging a meet)

Personally, I love to ping lunchtime Friday and Sunday evenings, as over here there's a good response rate during those times.

2) Pay attention to her schedule
Some women love to talk early in the morning.
Others will answer late at night.
So adjust accordingly.
I'm not saying you should change your schedule to text them, but pay attention to when they answer you.
There's usually a very easy and recognizable pattern.

3) Be short and concise
"Hey X, how is you day going?
Did you do Y like you said before?
Hope you are doing ok"

^^^Already too much for a simple ping.
Even when you want to start a conversation to probe for a soft close, your pings should be shorter.
Here your imagination can go bananas, but keep it short!

Examples:
When you already had her in bed more then 2 times
Thinking about us (first line)
(devil + fire emoji) (second line)

When you are trying to get her on a date:
Stop being so cute (first line)
Can feel your energy from here :sneaky: (second line)

On Friday lunchtime:
Vibe of the day: (beer emoji + sun smoji = smiley emoji) (first line)
Need it (praying emoji) (second line)
How is your day going? (third line)

4) Emojis are your friends
G-zus if I see guys using emojis wrong.
Emojis are a powerful tool to say a lot with a little.
That's what they are there for!

Next time just try this out:
At nighttime, send a devil emoji out of the blue to one of your lesser contacts and wait.
You will be amazed with the responses.

Final thoughts:
If you are trying to get into the pants of any woman, you need to ping her ASAP.
Ping at least every other day if you can....even if she is giving you a hard time (as long as she is answering and not telling you to stop)
Ping to check her reactions.
Ping to gauge interest.
And mainly, ping to get her in front of you so you can run proper game.

That's it for now gents, hope it's helpful.
As always, comments and critiques are welcome!

Some helpful tips in there, nice one.

my text game needs considerable work. After a weekend out I was spinning 5 plates, I need to work on keeping interest.

Good post, also have the best response rates from pinging at lunchtime. I think it's because girls are often bored around midday having lunch or whatever with coworkers, whereas late afternoon they are running home, juggling errands, and reconnecting with friends.

Good post.
In my opinion the ping should be even shorter so I would chunk those examples up further.

Like:

Me: Stop being so cute
Her: Haha why?
Me: I can feel your energy from here ;)
Me: How's your day treating you so far?

and

Me: Beer+sun=smiley
Me: Need it rn
Her: blah blah blah
Me: How's your day treating you so far?

The second example is a bit harder for her to reply to. The ping you want to gauge where she's at based on the response. Meaning you want to make it as easy as possible for her to reply while not asking for too much compliance. That's why I love single emoji pings, memes, IG posts, some intrigue bait or just a simple "Hey ;)" ( ;) not as the emoji but as ;,) ) You don't wanna be boring, but not tryhard and overgamey either, which can sometimes happen when trying to make intrigue bait.

Honestly, I respond when I can.
As long as it's not over 12 hours, I think it's fair game (more than that and she can think you are not interested and bail, especially gen-Z).
Small caveat: when she has agreed to meet you, try to respond asap.
Do you know of any good reading material for this subject?
I think @TomInHo was putting together a texting guide.
You could ask him how is it going.
Also @Hector Papi Castillo book for sure.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake
