Has "texting for logistics only" ever backfired?

Golden rule: don’t take all the rules literally and to the extreme.

Since you don’t expect to see the girl every hour, you could use texting to keep the connection alive. That’s called pinging. A short funny story that reminded you of her here. An interesting comment there. But that’s about it. Then the logistics. Never engage in random bullshit chit chat that leads to nowhere. You might think you’re building comfort with the girl but all you are doing is shoot yourself in the foot.

We say text for logistics because text can be a challenge for some guys especially new guys.

At some point of social mastery, text opens up as just another channel to tease, give compliance tests etc.

I have always used text game to great success. It has its own challenges and pitfalls though.

i like texting and sometimes even calling most of my girlfriends from time to time about random shit that has nothing to do with logistics, so i do. the only thing that screams "im a boring clueless faggot" louder than "i only communicate for logistics" is not doing the things you want to do when you want to do them

But been wondering recently if texting for logistics applies to all situations/relationships?

Yes. Even calling her on the phone is better than texting.

It’s a guideline. Don’t take it literally. It’s more just something to have in the back of your mind so you don’t turn into a texting buddy.

You obviously have to text people sometimes and have conversations. Kinda autistic to ignore unless it’s for logistics and she’ll think you’re not interested. But don’t over invest when texting and don’t be a texting buddy. That’s what the rule is about.

It only back fires if you take the advice literally and never text anything other than time and locations to meet up.

Actually i just text low, not only logistic but 2-3 things.
Is better to talk person because person in "virtual life" are kinda different
