If you look at my journal day 6, I met a girl at a birthday party and got her number. In person we agreed to a date, that's tomorrow, on campus. Here are the texts:

Me: Hey x, its y from the birthday party

(3 hours later)

her: Hiii

her: I just got home (two laughing emojis)

(15 minutes later, maybe I should've waited longer)

Me: Oh, how was the rest of the party? (I had to leave early)

(20 minutes later)

Her: It was so much fun, we went to boba place and played few games (her English is not the best, she's foreign)

(1 hours and a half later)

Me: That sounds like a lot of fun, I went to an amusement park with my other friends after the party

Its been about 18 hours later and no response. I was trying to build a little bit of rapport before I talked about the logistics of the date, but she's not responding. Should I send a second text and what should that be or should I call it quits, she's not interested. Let me know guys.

These posts are long but worth the read:

How to flirt over text & Skills text guide

They will give you structure & help your understanding.

The reason she didn’t reply is because you gave her nothing to reply to… No question or anything exciting/intriguing. Only a super interested girl would continue the conversation

Missed an easy opportunity to flirt in your last text e.g. “Sounds like fun but I’m sure we’ll top that tomorrow”


Plenty of better texters than me but I’d suggest a causal approach that the date’s still happening


E.g. “P.S still good for (xyz activity you agreed to do) later?”

Don’t be surprised if she flakes. Just be cool and say no worries then ping her on like Wednesday / Thursday

Read the texting guide and everyones reactions confused me more than helped. But this is the agreed on format right? :

1.Greeting

2.Flirt/Qualify

3.Soft closing or hard closing depending on context

Can everyone agree on this? I just want a simple system I can follow

Sort of. Depending on the girl you can go straight to logistics for the date (if you agreed to go out in person and she seems hot still... depending on her response to your icebreaker). Flirting/qualifying over text can be a bit of a double edged sword, the more you text, the more room for mistakes... And it's not like you're gonna get her wet and dying to go out with you with just a few texts.

Me: Oh, how was the rest of the party? (I had to leave early)
Up to here it was fine, it's cool to get a bit of rapport going on.

Me: That sounds like a lot of fun, I went to an amusement park with my other friends after the party
Nothing that seems too wrong with that text, but read it again and think about it: does this text helps you any on getting on a date with her? She likely doesn't care what you were doing with your friends lol
It's not a bad mistake, but this texts basically just says "well now I wanna talk about what I was doing with my friends", which just kinda derails things.

call it quits, she's not interested
She's not interested in chit chatting about your friends with you, but she might still be interested in the date.
You can just text her about the date, and it should be fine, but I also see no reason why she would reply to this text.
Just act like you didn't even send this text and talk about going out with her.

Yup that's a good reply, transitions into talking about the date nicely as well.

Keep your eye on the ball @brokenheartlover1, you wanna go out with her, not talk about jackshit (I'm assuming).
It's fine though, I myself am making some silly mistakes with my texting, just try to keep improving.
This article I read one of this days is really helpful.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

It seems there were huge time gaps between texts killling momentum...

Convos format should be statements, such as your last text follow by some type of question, there was nothing for her to reply to...


She is fooreign, talk about playing games etc.... you have enough to make convo threads ask questions etc...
