This may be no-brainers for some, but for those of us recovering from severe neediness, listen up:

Don't text when you drive.

Don't text when during class.

Don't text at work.

Don't text while cooking.

Don't text while eating.

Don't text while doing ANYTHING.

Only text in between things that you are doing.

This eliminates the guesswork of how often you should text. Trust me, texting slower is ALWAYS better than texting faster.

Keep it simple, and 99% of the time, only text to setup a meet. Honestly, if you feel that you need to build comfort and report with her still, then it's probably unlikely that she will come out with you anyway.

If she doesn't want to come out right away stick to only replying with vague, non-cocky, mysterious answers to whenever she texts you. Otherwise make all instances where you text her based around meeting up. Then just follow the rule that as long as she is replying, just continue to wait a couple days and try again. This I feel is the best chance for success. If you disagree, feel free to share your opinion.

If you are continually having girls give numbers without following up to hang out, then work on your anxiety, body language, tonality and conversation skills, and build more comfort and attraction during the initial interaction.

I just blew myself out HARD by overtexing a girl. I guarantee some of the guys on this forum could use a few strict rules to help control their neediness, because that little voice in your head will lie every time. "Just one more text," it tries to tell you, "and that'll convince her." No, buddy. You aren't convincing her of shit.

Do that in the meantime while you work on just becoming a non-needy man. How? Get out of your heads, do shit, and stay busy. Non-needy means you don't need anything. So start providing for yourself and stop leeching off of girls to validate you.

And one more thing. For those of you who want to say that building a lot of comfort over text is a good idea, all I can say is that asking questions and saying almost anything other than short vague answers or setting up a meet converts itself into try-hard by the time it hits her cell. This is unless she is already swept off her feet by you already, in which case you should be getting her out or back to your place anyways.
