When you first get a girl's number, what kind of stuff do you text her?

[rsdplaya]

you shouldn't try to start a relationship with a girl using sarcasm OVER TEXT! be direct at first in order to get the date...the sarcasm will come in once you get the date....it's hard to tell when someone is being real or sarcastic over text...keep that in mind. good luck.

Yeah, that would be great if I actually cared how their day was going.

I swear I've been complimented on my texting abilities, like to the point where I know a girl is jocking just off the strength of my text humor. 

I suppose a softer transition into funny guy could be effective? I don't know.

Well obviously by your opening post you have no idea what your doing.

 

[wildout4]

it shouldnt matter wat you say if the chick is open

I am recently single and I think I need to perfect my text game.  Like I'll be really charming and funny to a girl, you know, enough for her to want to hang out and give me her number.  But then, the next thing I know she's flaking hard on me.  One girl even said I was creepy.

I have to assume my humor doesn't translate very well via text?  For instance, it snowed a bunch last week and I sent a few girls "Meet me at 10:15AM and let's make some snow angels." I thought that was kinda funny, and random (obviously I wasn't serious) - no response.

Or how about I sent a few girls, "Princess cut or round?" (as in engagement ring).  Obviously I'm not that sprung on these girls, it's just a random text to elicit some banter.  Yet only one girl really got it, and she re, "I think we should get finger tattoos."

Another example, "I just made a Justin Bieber iTunes playlist...you want to breeze by later?"

Or, "I just bought a soccer ball, you wanna kick it?

Sometimes I'll even do some foolish like send every blonde in my BlackBerry, "This is a mass text to all cute brunettes: Who wants to go to the game tonight?"

Are there rules that you have to keep the sarcasm light, and the humor pretty generic when texting a new girl?

  Dude. You're creepy. Deal with it.

Then why are you asking for help???

  

and btw ""I hung out with this blonde last night, trying to switch it uptonight.  You want to come over and watch Step Brothers on Blu-Ray?"" is the weakest line i've heard in a while... try not to big yourself up so much, talking about all your "women" and your fancy "Blu-ray"

  "sup ma, wanna chill and watch a movie" would of worked alot better... my .2 cents

I'm asking for help because more often than not it does NOT work out.  Small percentage of girls get it, but the majority don't.   So, I'm looking to become more efficient and not fumble the rock as much as Tiki Barber.

Why are you taking that Step Brothers text so literally?

Obviously I am not bragging about a Blu-Ray player.

Obviously I'm not serious about the hair color of the girl I hung out with the night before.  It's a joke, intended to elicit at the least a chuckle and then I would transition into something more serious - I don't know...

You gotta work you're way up to the sarcastic texts.

Most aren't going to get it off jump. Some never will.

That's common sense bro. Sarcasm isn't easily detected through text, esp. if the person doesn't really know you like that.

If it isn't working in 99% of the cases, why do you keep doing it?

I always thought smiley faces and "lol"s are female traits.

Youve gotta be an extremely special female if you got me at a point where Im notifying you of my laughter via text.

If I don't get a lol or hahaha I don't really keep trying, but if a girl is re with hahaha or lols I keep the banter going.  In the rare case you meet a funny chick, proper form is re with something showing her, her humor is appreciated. 

With that said, I have noticed lol tends to be considered a bit immature/female these days, and most people I know prefer to use "hahaha".  I still stick with lol though. I hate that people are susceptible to texting trends, e.g. like how every girl all of a sudden started adding extra letters to the last word of a text, "Heyy how are youuuu?" So lame. Worse is when guys do that.

I feel you, it's just hard for me to fathom how anyone could take a text about making snow angels at 10AM by the law library seriously.

As for why I have yet to adjust; well, I started this thread and I'm making mental notes.  If you're asking why I didn't get it before; prob a combination of not caring and it not clicking that girls can take something sooooooo silly and turn it into something creepy.

Your texting game is horrible dude...snow angels?

Every line you said was terrible...jus be yourself dude...throw lines in that you KNOW the girl will laugh at...i cant imagine a girl laughing at the stuff you said

Jus keep it simple...form my experiences with JO's insult them...say their butt small or that they cnt handle nuffin...if they deny it...ask them to prove it

Try it it works

Man don't even ask these chicks for their numbers anymore, just give em yours and say hit me up.
If she does, she's interestec, if not, keep it moving.

 

[patentboy23]

you're trying to hard to be witty and turning them off. keep it simple. you can pull tht stuff wen u chill with them and can read their body language. some people have to get to know you before they can get ya humor.

They probably didn't think you were serious, as much as they thought you were a lame/weirdo.

It may be perceived as such, but I am absolutely not consciously trying too hard.
