Most guys don’t understand how to keep a conversation going without slipping into boring small talk or asking interview-style questions. Yet it’s a CRUCIAL skill that applies at any—and every—point of a relationship, from a girl you just met to your wife of 10-years.
The problem with sending generic texts like “How’s your day going?” or “Hope you’re having a great day!” is that they have no flavor. When a woman glances at her phone and reads a flavorless text, there’s no spike of positive emotion. Even worse, she may even feel negative emotion. A woman should NEVER associate the sound of your texts with the buzz of an annoying housefly.
Yet, at the same time, an important part of building any relationship is regular contact. How, then, do you stay in touch with a woman without being generic or boring? The antidote is actually very simple: ask yourself the generic question and then send her your response.
For example, it’s common for people to check-in with each other in the morning, often with a text like “Good morning! I hope you have a great day.” Rather than “hoping” she has a great day, make it great for her by sharing a quirky anecdote about your morning. For example:
I just watched a squirrel steal a bagel at the park. Crime is getting out of control!
Notice how this short text isn’t anything epic or mind-blowing; it simply gives a woman a glimpse into your world. Keep it simple (but quirky) like how the barista at Starbucks butchered the spelling of your name or something odd your dog did. Here are a few more examples of this concept in action:
Helped a friend move a couch, found what looks to be a decade-old pizza slice. Not sure if it’s time capsule or biohazard
At the gym and I put on my shorts inside out… which I realized halfway through my workout. Jazzercising granny loved it
A pigeon and I held strong, piercing eye contact for a solid minute today. No way you can top that
