Text Game Thread

[Guest]

I've decided that I'm going to post up my texts with women here for critique or education, whatever you wish to take away from it or talk to.

This is a girl I pulled off the Internet, super cute. I met her this last Wednesday for drinks. Things went well and we're going out again Saturday. Here's our volleys:

Thursday, October 28th 8:15pm

Bull Run: What are you dressing up as this year? Lady Gaga, Raggedy Ann, Big Bird...
HB Shorty: Funny but no...I'm dressing up as a top gun flight instructor! What else right? How about you?
Bull Run: Goose...you can't be Maverick 365 days of the year
HB Shorty: ;) Do you have big plans for Halloween?
Bull Run: I'm in Chicago this weekend...you?
HB Shorty: Lucky you! I will be partying in boring ole Dallas :)
Bull Run: Well, I'll think about you while I enjoy second city
Bull Run: Keep Dallas warm for me (I tacked these texts)
HB Shorty: I won't make any promises but I'll try. Have fun!
Bull Run: Awww, come on...I bet you can keep this city warm with a mere smile (going AFC)
Bull Run: PS that's about the sweetest I get (tacking)
HB Shorty: Haha I like your style! ;)
Bull Run: We'll get along just fine then...let's get an adult beverage next week...I got the first round
HB Shorty: You got it!

Sunday, October 31st 8:30pm

Bull Run: What's up Maverick?
HB Shorty: Hi! How is Chi town
Bull Run: Chi town never fails to deliver...about that adult beverage, I'm free weds or thurs
HB Shorty: Sure! How about Wed
Bull Run: Works for me. Capitol Pub, 7:30ish
HB Shorty: 8?
Bull Run: Sure thing
HB Shorty: Great, see you then

We met up for drinks on Wednesday. I, of course, was 10 minutes late. Always be late fellas, always. Remember, you're an uncaring, aloof asshole. And, don't apologize. If she gives you shit, then tell her that you would have gotten there sooner but you had to fold some laundry and you wouldn't be able to focus knowing clean clothes are just waiting to be put in their place. The date went extremely well. I'd give her a sold HB 8 rating, with a sex appeal of 9 out of 10.

Thursday, November 4th 11:15am

HB Shorty: Hey you, how's it going? You conqured the world yet today?
Bull Run (11:17am): On my way. I conquered a few emails, a bunch of spreadsheets, the eliptical machine, a bunch of iron at the gym, traffic...watch out, cause ur on the list
HB Shorty (11:21am): Oh is that right? That's a pretty impressive list considering it's not even noon!
Bull Run (11:27am): Yep, but lots to do before I get to you. As you know already, I'm pretty impressive ;) And you, how's ur day pumpking butt?
HB Shorty (12:59pm): Well I got up at 730am, ran 3 miles, answered some emails, and booked a few trips for work. Currently I'm letting my trainer destroy the next 3 weeks of my life with my new workout schedule :)
Bull Run (2:39pm): Aren't we a busy little bee? Where do you train?
HB Shorty (5:21pm): XYZ Gym, but I'm thinking it's going to be more like a train wreck than anything else. No alcohol for 21 days? That's absurd. Seriously
Bull Run (8:09pm): I'm going to be a bad influence if you plan to stay dry for 3 weeks. Actually, I'll be a bad influence regardless
HB Shorty (8:11pm): I have no doubt about that trouble
Bull Run (8:12pm): I seem to recall that we have a rendezvous Sat
HB Shorty (8:14pm): Yes we do, and don't worry I don't follow rules very well...
Bull Run (8:18pm): Unless I set them
HB Shorty (8:19pm): I was talking about not being able to drink. Not happening.
Bull Run (8:22pm): Good. Cause we'll definitely be drinking
HB Shorty (8:23pm): Right on :)
Bull Run (8:24pm): That a girl
HB Shorty (8:32pm): So where are we going?
Bull Run (8:46pm): Does it matter? I'll be there
HB Shorty (8:52pm): In that case. You are right, it doesn't matter at all.
Bull Run (9:03pm): That a girl. Be ready around 8, I'll pick you up and take over from there
HB Shorty (9:05pm): Now I really love your style! ;)
HB Shorty (9:16pm): Hey, do you have a FB page?
Bull Run (9:20pm): Nope. Real men don't have Facey-spacies...
HB Shorty (9:22pm): But they have match profiles hmm? ;)
Bull Run (9:25pm): That sharp tongue of yours will only get you in trouble...
Bull Run (9:26pm): Some good trouble, some bad
HB Shorty (9:27pm): I'll be sure to make note of that
Bull Run (9:35pm): You knew that already. I'm a bad boy with a heart of gold remember?
HB Shorty (9:41pm): Or you could be a plain ole womanizer...guess I'm willing to stick around to find out ;)
Bull Run (9:49pm): That a girl. See you saturday
HB Shorty (9:55pm): Ok!! Nite!! xoxo

No thread hijack but this is my favorite text I have ever received. I might frame it and hang it on my wall. This is a random weeknight around midnight.

HB: I’ve had enough to drink that I can say this with out care but I’m really shocked that you had the nerve to ask me out and then have me get you a drink and THEN have me pay for my drink and THEN!! Sleep with me! Shocking!!!

Hahahahahhahah LMAO

Yes, that should be framed and mounted in your office.

Did you text back she should come over and get naked? And did she?

[Guest]

Hey Bull Run

I noticed you said "That a Girl" 3 times. Looking back do you think that came off a little odd? Obviously it made little difference it just seemed overkill to me. Am I reading too much into it?

I think you got away with one here. It's too overt. Plus, she was showing that she was in a challenging, mischievous state. I think it would be better to reinforce that behavior. Maybe say something like, "I have a whole list of rules for us to break on Saturday."

@PC

I said "That a girl" to set the frame that she's complying with my demands. In other words, I'm acting like a father figure and giving her approval for good behavior...or at least behavior I approve of.

I say "that's my girl" or "that a girl" or "good girl" a lot when I'm grooming women and their actions towards me. It's subtle, but it works very well at setting the frame that it is her job to make me happy and when she does I recognize her for it.

@Rhody

I agree 100%. The problem was that I didn't know what 'rules' she was talking about. I was totally lost. And, instead of saying something like "what are you talking about." I went aggressive. I've found that being more aggressive is better than being too passive.

Now, had I not met her in person already, I would NEVER have said that because it was way too loaded. It implies all kinds of things that can be seen as highly negative. But, also things that can be highly positive. If she had any doubts about me, she could have used this as rationalization for walking away. If she didn't have doubts, she would have read it totally differently. Regardless, it does give her too much leeway to make a decision outside of my influence. Like I said, I agree but felt OK saying because I had already built a lot of comfort and rapport with her in person the night before.

Good input guys. Thanks!

Negative. She texted me in the middle of the night. Ol' Big Bear was in bed. I responded with a simple, yet classical winky face.

I like the way the lion roars. Roar.

Hey bull run, that girl from the other weekend in chicago keeps texting me. It must be the giant Robert Goulet wig.

Thanks for taking the time to post this!

I'm struggling with my text game big time and this helped some. I got on a dating website and it is completely new to me.

Are ther any aspects of online game that are similar to text game? I am interested in mastering online rather than being closed minded about it like I always was in the past...
