Gone are the days of home phones and answering machines and relying on in-person contact to build relationships.
Texting is half the battle these days, and knowing how to text girls can allow you to sail through the dating world with ease.
If you don’t yet know how to text a girl the right way, don’t worry- I don’t intend to send you out into the fiery siege without all the ninja skills you’ll need.
(And if you want a quick shortcut of what women really want, you're gonna want to check out this checklist.)
When you know how to pull the strings in a texting conversation with a woman, you’ll feel more confident in all your interactions with them.
Or you still believe that calling girls is the “decent” thing to do…
Then I’d like the opportunity to change your mind.
Because with the right texting skills, you can get way more dates–and faster sex–than you can over the phone.
And here’s why:
1) Convenience
There is no question that texts are convenient. And often, they’re more convenient than a phone call.
Instead of stopping what you’re doing to engage a woman in a two-sided conversation, texts allow you to say what you want–or read a response–without committing to a full-on conversation with her.
Then, instead of having a long, drawn-out conversation on the phone about what time is best… you can simply reply:
“9.”
Sometimes, there is nothing better than the perfectly economic communication of “yes” or “no.”
And that’s just the tip of the texting iceberg.
2) It Limits The “Back & Forth”
If you aren’t really “into” texting, this might seem like a disadvantage. Maybe you like the “back and forth” of a phone conversation.
But think about this for a second:
If you’ve stopped what you’re doing to have a 20-minute conversation about when you’re going to go somewhere–when it’s something that can be accomplished in two minutes (or less) over text–then you’ve just wasted a lot of time.
Does this make sense?
Imagine you’re in the middle of a meeting at work.
Is figuring out how you’re going to get together with a woman important enough to step out of your meeting and call her to talk about it?
Probably not, right?
Texting a girl allows you to slice through the “chit-chat.”
If you have these kinds of conversations over text, then you can condense a 20-minute conversation down to two minutes.
And ultimately, this benefits you in the long run. Not only will this woman see you as easy to talk to, but she’ll also see you as the kind of man who takes charge.
And for most women, that’s a huge turn-on.
3) It’s More Controlled
Depending on what you want to control, knowing how to text a girl can give you that power.
Like I mentioned above, texting a girl can control the timing of your conversations.
On top of that, if you want to control the quality of your conversation…
Then texting a girl gives you the kind of control that phone conversations simply cannot offer.
4) You Can Send Higher Quality Messages
What’s great about texting is that you can research, review, and rewrite what you send her.
That way, you only send exactly the message you want–and you don’t have to think on your feet too much.
However, it’s important to mention one thing about this:
You don’t want to overuse this kind of power.
Because the truth is, knowing how to text girls the right way is about more than what you say… it’s about presenting yourself the best way, and timing is a part of that.
In fact, you get “bonus points” for responding quickly to women over text. That’s because when you do this, your texts will seem more unscripted & honest.
So if you respond too slowly, she may be able to tell that you’re taking too much time to think about your response.
Yes, take the time to craft a cool & witty response–but don’t take too much time.
5) It’s Less Effort (Most Of The Time)
If you want to start understanding how to text girls, keep in mind this primary rule:
Make sure your text responses are the same length as what she texts you. In fact, a bit shorter is often better!
When in doubt, cut it out. And for this reason, texting a girl is often less effort than calling her.
But in order for her to text you, you’re gonna need to pass her your number at some point…
This is the best way to always get her number…
How To Make Sure She ALWAYS Gets Your Number…
When you meet a girl somewhere, you can control the conversation so that she ends up walking away with your number, guaranteed.
Let’s try an example.
You meet a woman at a bar. The conversation leads to her drink, and you say you know another place that makes a great spin on it. She’ll probably say something like this:
Her: Oh, really? I’ll have to go try it sometime.
And then you say:
You: Yeah, you should definitely come with me next time I go. Anyway listen, I gotta run– but let me give you my number, shoot me a text.
Even though this is a semi-specific situation, you can make this happen in almost any conversation you have with a woman– all you have to do is find a way to start talking about a place.
And that place will be the suggestion you end up making.
Her phone is likely to be nearby, and as long as you say it as a statement and not a question, she will most likely instantly pass over her phone.
If she’s not interested, chances are you will not get a response.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter how flirty…
Funny…
Sexual…
Unique…
Or whatever — it doesn’t matter if you’ve written the book on how to text a girl. If she’s not interested, your chances of getting a response go way down.
Because essentially, I just asked her out. She knows this. The ball is in her court.
If you are still having trouble gauging her level of interest after sending this text, check out our 7-step checklist to find out exactly how interested she really is.
4) What NOT to Do If She Doesn’t Respond…
A lot of guys think that when a girl doesn’t respond to a text, it’s because she’s distracted.
This might be true… however, remember– even if you know how to get a girl to text you back, there is still one thing that could negate it all:
She just might not be interested.
So if that’s the case, don’t keep texting her.
Some guys will continuously text a girl until she responds…
Saying things like, “I paid for dinner, the least you can do is text me back”…
And eventually, they’ll call her.
This is what NOT to do. Because this is what qualifies as harassment.
Women don’t want to deal with that crap. So what does she want?
So if she keeps saying she’s “busy”… or if she’s taking too long to respond to your messages… then there is one last thing you can try to get her out with you…
And it works a little something like this:
These text messages guarantee and instant response…

When a woman is “playing coy” with me over text… or taking hours to respond to the simplest questions… I won’t sit around and twiddle my thumbs waiting. F that.
Instead, I’ll send one of these 5 messages that tend to get an almost-immediate, truthful response.
Depending on your personality, one of these might work better than others (I usually get the best results with #4)… so just click the one you wanna know more about below:
How To Text a Girl You Like in ANY Situation [Custom Cheat Sheet]
Check out this simple texting cheat sheet for more dates and same-night sex…
It's no secret that your text game these days is arguably as important–if not more important–than your game in person.
I mean, think about it:
More girls than ever are using online dating… and usually, between the time you make a match and get her out on a date… there's at least SOME texting involved.
On top of that, when you get a girl's number, you'll probably have to text her first before you get her out on a date with you.
These days, knowing what to text a girl you like can get you dates and sex faster than you ever thought possible. But on the flipside, a less-than-great texting game can prevent you from getting any of this.
I want to share my 3 most effective texting resources that I currently have at my disposal. These are resources that are chock-full of great information and show you exactly what to text a girl you like, including:
How to get girls to text back even if they haven't responded in hours or days…
What to text a girl to get her to come over for same-night sex…
And the best words & phrases to send a girl to get her out on a date with you without any chance of flaking or “ghosting.”
These resources will show you how to overcome the biggest texting problems guys face today, and ultimately, they'll show you what to text a girl you like in any situation, so that you have the kind of texting game that you can use to get fast sex and dates from girls whenever you want.
So let's go ahead and jump in with resource #1:
1) If You Want More Texts Back & Dates With ZERO Flakiness…
A lot of guys these days deal with women who either:
a) Will text back or agree to a date but then flake out or “ghost”… or:
b) Just stop texting back eventually, or only text back one-word answers like “k.”

2) If You Want to Turn Things Sexual (No Matter What Time of Day it Is Or Even If She Stopped Responding)…
Here's the truth:
A lot of guys tend to be way too “PC” when they text girls.
And as a result of them playing it safe, girls get bored and stop responding.
So if you're texting a girl you like, and you want to turn things sexual, how do you do it in a way that's not too over-the-top?
It's a great question… and for a long time I wondered the exact same thing… but since then, I've learned that the easiest way to get sexual with a girl over text, is to follow this simple 4-step method.

Again, these are texts you can send a girl at literally any time of day (even if it's 2 A.M.), and in just about any situation (including if you haven't met her yet), and they work to get her to come over for sex right away.
