The rule of "never double-text" is autistic as fuck. This isn't a bullshit PUA forum where we swap stupid rules that don't take context into account. Context matters.

You should develop a sense of when you're initiating too much or putting in significantly more effort than she is. When that happens, you back off/soft-next.

Sometimes a conversation ends on your last text, and later you have something else to say or ask. Just fucking say it. If this forms a pattern, you're probably putting in too much effort and need to tone it down.

One specific instance I can say that double-texting is to be avoided is when you're dealing with a new plate and you ask a very specific question (like, "are you free Wednesday at 8pm to meet for coffee?"). If she doesn't answer, she gets the soft-next. The initial interaction sets the stage for the rest of your dealings with her; she needs to show interest otherwise you drop her.
