Yeah apparently I am moving slow , and I thought I moved fast wow. So I generally do get their numbers quickly like within 5 messages but I suppose where I mess up is not setting up the date quickly huh? and say I set it up quick, do you tend to talk to them after or just wait for the date? My issue is say I know my date with this girl in 5 days I feel inclined to talk to her until then here and there. If I’ve seen her often I talk less though, what do you think?
Depends on how far out the date is, but I always text the day of the date. Some people say that you shouldn't do this because it makes you look weak (are we still on for today?) and others don't want to waste time. I can kind of see the point of the guys who say it's weak, so I came up with this instead:
--Text her the day of the date what you'll be wearing.
Example: Hey blank, heading out in a few minutes, I'll be wearing a red shirt and black jeans so you can find me easier
If she doesn't text you anything back, she's probably going to flake. If she texts you back anything that isn't a cancellation, then she'll be there. This makes it so that you don't get the possible looking weak outlook (though if a girl thinks that then I wouldn't want her, but different strokes). This also gives her an easy way out if she doesn't want to show up, so you will sometimes have a girl cancel on you for whatever reason. A good portion of those cancellations will set up another date with you.
And if she doesn't even bother to text you anything back then you might as well not even go. Not once have I ever not gotten a text back and yet she still showed up. Not once have I not gotten a text back and then later on in the day gotten a 'where are you?' text. Thus far, it's pretty damn full proof in my experiences.
As for texting her before the date itself: depends on the girl and depends on how far out the date is. If she seems nervous, I'll text her more to help with attainability and comfort. If you're significantly older than a girl, like a guy in his 30's or 40's dating chicks in their 20's you'll want to adopt this approach as a default.
If the date is more than a few days out I'll text something in between, usually just a meme or something because I don't like getting into conversations over text. Just lets her know that yes I'm still going to show up and keep her out of auto-rejection. Because if you don't text her at all, and your date isn't set up until 4-5 days later then she will get pissy. It's only when you've been together a few times that you can back off on the texting.
No matter what though, I'll try to space out my texting. If the date is in 4 days then I'll text her on day number 2. That way I'm not texting her everyday but I still show that I care, if only a little bit. Remember, when you get good at this, you're going to go on far more dates than she ever will with online dating. This means that it's going to be a little weird for her (same applies during day game).
If the date is the next day or even the day after, I'll just stick to the day of text.
If she texts me before then I'll try to be warm, send a few fluff messages here and there and etc. But I will not allow her to drag me into a conversation UNLESS
1) I think that she won't leave me alone otherwise and will flake out on me if I don't talk to her a little bit
AND
2) I feel like I can steer the conversation towards sexting
Getting nudes from women before a date is high risk high rewards on its own, but if a woman is that keen on you, you have to do something to keep her from auto-rejecting while still getting investment from her. Nudes are a way to walk the line a little bit. Though you will still have some women flake on you if they give you nudes. Nudes aren't the goal before a first date, they're like a safety net of "she won't leave me alone and I don't want to look like a bitch or a complete asshole so here's the middle ground". On sexting though, you want to stay away from talking about what you will do to her. Instead, talk to her about what you would do to her if she were there, small yet important difference in wording
Telling her what you will do to her puts too much pressure on her before the date, and she will cancel a lot of times. Telling her what you would like to do to her is a little more of a grey area, there's not as much pressure there. Plus, if you get nudes before a date, you're getting laid. For that reason, there are quite a few guys out there that I used to know of that wouldn't go on a date with a girl unless she sent them nudes before hand. But again, high-risk high-reward and they had to work a little harder than I did in the beginning (but probably saved more time since all they wanted was sex)
