You meet a beautiful woman, and she agrees to the first date. You’re so excited you can hardly contain yourself, and after your first shared meal together, you share a kiss. The gates have definitely opened towards the second date, however this is the territory where men start to slip up and make horrible mistakes.
Yes, we’re talking about texting. What you say via text after a date can absolutely affect whether or not she will see you again. Your best bet is to understand the deadly texting sins and increase your chances of making it to the second round. Who knows? You might even get laid.
Mistake #1: Too soon
Give her time after the date to miss you and debrief about you with her friends. Texting her too soon can come across as clingy and desperate. Give it a day at the very least, and avoid texting her first thing in the morning.
Mistake #2: Giving her pet names
You may be smitten, but now is not the time to lose your cool. The cat isn’t in the bag yet – she is still getting to know you! Women generally take a lot longer to warm up to men. Fact. Avoid calling her names like “Cutey” “Beautiful” or “Love”. It’s just not appropriate right now.
Mistake#3: Sending novels
Keep it short and sweet. Always keep her wanting more because that sense of mystery is appealing. You may have an Iphone and she may have a crappy Motorola that can only show a certain amount of characters. So while you think you’re just sending one text, you’re actually sending 3. To her it seems like you’re in way too deep already.
Mistake #4: Double texting
Give her time to respond to your message. If it’s been a couple hours since you messaged her, then don’t freak out and send her another one. That just makes you seem creepy and needy. Wait. If she doesn’t reply, then text again in 2 days. If she still doesn’t reply then she is not interested.
When it comes to texting women, it’s all about timing and place. Don’t be too aggressive and have fun with your texts. Let your humor come through and show her that you don’t take life too seriously. You are a catch and you have better things to do than to sit around text her. She needs to get this message.
