While all this might seem complicated at first glance, the hard work’s all at the start. What good texting leads to is vastly simpler text chats that line up dates like dominos. All said and done, here’s an example text conversation, start to finish, to give you a feel for what this looks like:
[an hour after meeting a new girl] You: Happy to have made your acquaintance, friend ;) - [your name]
[two hours later] Her: Great to meet you too! :)
[36 hours later] You: Hey Sandy, how’d the weekend turn out? Hope the rest of it was as awesome as the beginnings were :) I ended up going to a pizza party with a bunch of people Sunday night... Haven’t been to one of those since I was 12. It was fun, though. And, some great pizza. On our bite this week - when’s good for you? My schedule’s pretty open except Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Let me know what day’s best and we’ll schedule it up.
[40 minutes later] Her: Hey! The pizza party sounds amazing! My weekend was pretty chill... Mostly just recovering from Friday, lol. How’s Thursday for meeting up? I’m free most of the day.
[25 minutes later] You: Thursday’s perfect. Say 1 o’clock in the afternoon? There’s this amazing little café no one knows about on Green Avenue we can check out... They have the most mind-blowing crepes in the world. We can meet at the Green Ave subway stop, it’s a short walk from there.
[1 hour later] Her: That sounds great, let’s do it! See you on Thursday!
[2 hours later] You: Awesome - see you then, Sandy!
[Thursday, 12:30 PM]
You: Heading out the door in a few minutes, should be there right at 1 o’clock. I’ ll be at Exit 2C. See you soon!
[5 minutes later] Her: Hey, I’m running about 10 minutes behind. Sorry...! I’m coming!
[3 minutes later] You: No biggie. See you when you get here!
