Many social artists dismiss the use of texts messages as unnecessary and espouse that texting should never be used in lieu of proper phone game. Despite this opinion, rising statistics suggest that text messaging as a communication tool is growing rapidly.

Nine years ago, in 2000, about 17 billion messages were sent. By 2004 that number had risen to 500 billion. This equals about 100 text messages for every person in the world!

A healthy percentage of those billions of texts were likely sent out by women, so while it's clear every social artist should embrace this communication tool and put it to work, the question of what to say remains.

A text of "Hey what's up?" leaves a woman in the awkward situation of creating the value for this interaction. Instead of asking these open ended questions, you should use your text to bring value to her day.

Imagine that the woman you're about to text is sitting at her workplace bored. It should be your goal to change her state and put a big smile on her face. Be quirky, fun and share off the wall observations from your day, e.g. "I just saw a guy wearing a fanny pack! Can you believe that?"

Another powerful tool that helps to reinforce her memory of meeting you is to recall an inside joke which you two shared. If you gave her the nickname dork, for example, begin your text exchange with "Hey dork! I bet you are operating at a level of 100% dorkiness today."

Or recall a specific fun interaction you had and add a new challenge, "Wow! You sucked at thumb wars. I am going to beat you again and again."

Remember, the ultimate goal of your texting is to give a further display of your fun and confident personality to bridge into a very successful phone conversation. To ensure this result, keep these two guidelines in mind:

* Initial texts should stick right to the point. Long messages convey neediness and lessen the punch of humor.

* Proper grammar is a turn on for women, write intelligently and always proof read the text before you send it.

A well played text conversation will often cause a woman to hint about a meet up with texts like "What are you up to?" Treat this as a major signal that she's interested in hanging out.

Have a strong frame and lead the interaction with responses such as "We're going on a picnic and you are making the cookies!" or "We're going shopping! We need to get you some new clothes!"

If an invitation is ever denied because she is too busy that day, use the classic line "Break your plans. I'm more fun."

Style explains that the point of this isn't to really convince the woman to go out, but it will likely get a laugh and increase the chance she will hang with you next time.

When your invitation is accepted, set up a time bridge via text to talk to her about logistics "I'll call you in a few and we'll make our detailed plan about this picnic. I take my picnicking seriously!"

A few playful and thoughtful thumb strokes on your cell phone can brighten her boring day and excite her for your next meet up.

When you display your personality with the right words, you'll soon see what starts as textual quickly escalates to sexual.

Yawn.

I do most of this stuff already. And, more. The title of the post is misleading. I don't see any sexual escalation going on here at all.

This is more comfort building stuff than anything else.

I keep track of posts about texting and haven't seen anything put quite this way. If you have something to add please do, if not stfu.

I'm a bit older than you and have issues with this texting stuff you kids are so comfortable with. This email had some interesting seeds to me, the not texter in a texting world like, "Imagine that the woman you're about to text
is sitting at her workplace bored. It should
be your goal to change her state and put a
big smile on her face. Be quirky, fun and
share off the wall observations from your
day, e.g. "I just saw a guy wearing a fanny
pack! Can you believe that?""

Now, being a guy that reads all the posts regarding texting to get it figured out, I figured that this might A: help people like me and B: pull in some interesting insights into text game. Evidently you don't see it that way and instead choose to insult the post.

I'm sorry if I offended you by starting this post and if I could remove it I would. So please forgive me and if you do have some new useful insights to provide to us old guys who just can't get the hang of texting I would really appreciate it.

I'll erase my responses.

Not a problem, I knew you just didn't see things from my perspective. Now, while I have my good days and bad days when riffing with an HB in person, I flat suck at texting. I was able to muddle through a text exchange with a girl earlier this week and set up a day to get together but that is nothing like how badly I usually do.

It might be nice to have a set of prewritten and tested texts like the the good old gambits of the early mystery days. How does who lies more and spells translate to text game.

First, I'm what you would consider to be in the incubator stages of this whole process. Therefore, I found the post to be intriguing and conducive to me strengthening my text game to the optimum level.

Text game comes up quite frequently on the Austin forums. Here are some choice posts I am shamelessly borrowing from a list Savage compiled last month. A lot of good "tested and certified" examples in these threads.

Any chance of posting the content of those threads here?

Don't feel like registering on a lair in a city that I have no plans to visit anytime
soon.

If there is a copyright issue or whatnot, that's cool.
