Sorry I don ' t have any screenshot proof , but uyellekeoj said best . Texting is only means to meet physically . Small talk and funny texts are nice , but it ' s really a high school tactic that should be kept to a minimum . I found it hard to portray confidence and sincerity through texts . Best bet is to keep it short , with the end goal of meeting up with the person you want to hook up with . It ' s best to try different approaches , everyone is different . Some may want to have long drawn out conversations and other don ' t . Be flexible and learn to adjust yourself to each person you have interest in . You will fail more times then you succeed . Don ' t let that discourage you , learn from mistakes , readjust your approach and try again . Good luck to you .
