When it comes to messaging women—whether on text, Tinder, or beyond—there are only three kinds of messages: the good, the bad, and the ugly. If a girl is single and (somewhat) attractive you can be sure her smartphone is full of lots of bad messages, a few good ones, and, as for the ugly, let’s just hope those got deleted.
Don’t let anyone tell you different: messaging women is a high-stakes game. Done right, the chance to spend an evening with a new, beautiful stranger whenever you want is at your fingertips—literally. Done wrong, you will systematically obliterate whatever chance you may have had as her responses dwindle down to one-word answers, half-hearted emojis, and—ultimately—ghosted silence. And what could be wiser than The 7 Greatest Text Messages Ever Sent in Hookup History?
I’m about to turn into your Fairy Godmother because your love and sex life is about to become a Cinderella story once I share you the 7 greatest texts ever sent. But just like Cinderella had to be home by midnight, there’s a catch here, too: since the 7 messages I’m going to share came directly from phone, directly from interactions I had with women I met and dated, these messages showcase my personality.
Just like you probably wouldn’t wear another man’s shoes, you probably shouldn’t just copy-and-paste another man’s texts. That is, except for the three messages that I do recommend just copying-and-pasting, which I’ve conveniently also included on this list. The real magic behind these texts isn’t the words per se, but rather it’s the subtext. It’s what the words imply, what’s conveyed.
With that in mind, I choose these 7 texts because each represent a skill or technique that every guy is going to need at some point. In fact, you’ll probably find a use for ALL these texts anytime a text conversation with a woman goes beyond a dozen or so back-and-forth texts. So pay attention because 7 messages we’re going to cover will teach you:
- How to keep a vibe going with a woman
- How to prime a date
- How to recover from a (bad) mistake
- How to respond to objections with humor
- How to respond to a test with redirection
- How to respond to a test with humor
- How to ease a progression point
- How to seamlessly transition
- How to break the ice before a date
As you’re going to see, the first few messages are going to start off very broad, touching on the theory of attractive communication and then we’ll move into techniques then get even more specific with a template until, finally, I’ll give you a couple foolproof messages that you can swipe word-for-word.
