I'm a major opponent of long drawn out text messaging, in fact I usually stray away from texting as much as possible. I believe it is damn near impossible to express emotions and tonality the way a phone call can, but I know many people here will disagree. To each their own I suppose.

I called up a girl I met on Thursday night this afternoon and the following FR occurred. For the sake of the story she was an HB8 (or a SoBe6.)

Please keep in mind I kept a very playful tone throughout the conversation. Had I had a monotone or spoke in a serious manner I'm sure the cops would have been called and I would be sitting in jail right now.The conversation went something as follows:

Me: Yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (obnoxiously drawn out) Her: Hey what's goin on? Me: Where do you live? Her: Why? Me: Where do you live? (laughing) Her: (Names her Neighborhood) Me: What house? What are you doing? Her: 3rd house on the left? I'm doing laundry. Me: Cool, you wanna do mine? Her: (laughs) Yeah if you bring it to me... I guess.. Me: If I bring you my laundry you're going to do it? Her: Yeah but you won't bring it.. Me: Ok see you soon. (Hangs up)

Luckily, I live 15 minutes away. I knock on her door and she was surprised to see me. She panicked and ran to put some makeup on and change. I scream out "Don't bother....I don't want your makeup all over me". I walk outside and bring in my laundry and she takes it into her laundry room and starts doing it without question. I follow her in, ecstatic at this point and truthfully can't believe I got a girl I had a 20 minute conversation with a few days ago to do my laundry.

I begin to tease her, leaning back against the wall and smirking. Chiming in with smart ass comments on how my clothes better be pressed perfectly and how perfect and happy we're going to be when I propose to her at Subway. I pick her up and put her on top of the washing machine (fucking perfect move due to the vibration, if you ever get the chance go for it -- Let it put her in the mood and save you the headache) and make out with her. We make our way back to her bedroom and that was that.

Oh, and my clothes come out perfect.

Closing points:

-More phonecalls. Less texting. A stupid emoticon can only get you so far.

-Just go for it, the more outrageous the better. If you're going to get blown out do it with style.

-Fucking body language and tonality are KEY. Practice talking to yourself and mimicking movies to find the right tone. Watch yourself in the mirror and critic your own BL.

-If you have something that vibrates, use it to your advantage. It makes life a hell of a lot easier.
