Ok,
I met this HB8 I have explained in my 6th field report. She had a bf, but she is also a writer (English communication major). So I text her yesterday to send me email so I can send my my story, she sent me back her email.
I sent her my story and then sent her text this morning:
"I have shown you mine, now show me yours. Send me one of your good story so I can see how good ur." No reply....wondering if I should text, call or something or just forget about it?

Forget about it.
Alot of times I have to catch myself before I go into a conversation that is useless.
I ask myself, "If I say this, does it have the possiblity to lead towards a goal I want?"... ie... sex, make out, meet up, etc.
If the current thread doesn't lead to a goal I want, then I cut it and move on. DHV again, and then move on.

one important thing to remember in text game is a sort of "no shit" thing but we all forget it sometimes in that you DON'T NEED TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION SHE ASKS, or any question for that matter......for instance
Her: hey what are you up to? are you going out tonight?
the AFC in you wants to answer both might look something like this
"nothing, just sitting around, yea we should meet up"
the PUA in you may throw something completely off the wall at her
"can you drive a stick shift?"
....odd and unusual plus it allows you to subcommunicate the fact that YOU are leading this interaction because YOUR questions are the ones that are getting answered and are the ones that are more important than hers since you didn't answer hers.
so, just because she sends you a text, or asks you a question doesn't mean you need to answer it directly--or answer it at all for that matter.
