Welcome to the digital age of dating! Texting allows a man to come up with witty and enticing responses from a comfortable location. It’s easy enough to master and with some basic guidelines—any man should be a pro in no time. Likewise, it can also be nerve-racking to come up with a perfectly good text. Here are some simple points to remember when texting the woman you’re interested in. 1. Focus on Your Goal Do you know the difference between a wish and a goal? A goal has a plan and an end date for accomplishment, and a wish is just a hopeless daydream. So when texting your crush, in addition to keeping the ball rolling, you might want to decide on asking her out eventually. Therefore, just like in any other interaction, a back-and-forth text conversation can take on different turns on different topics. And while it's a good practice to take your time, endlessly beating around the bush, wishing for the woman to go out with you miraculously is not a winning strategy if you want to get a date with her. 2. Keep Things Light Women love to see their phone buzz and read a text that’s cute, intriguing, and makes them laugh. But remember, don’t get too personal over text—it isn’t worth it and should be saved for in-person or phone conversations. Tell her something funny, not your life story.

If you don't let your soft side out every once in a while, she won’t be interested in you for very long. 5.
