Hi seddit. Pretty newly single and trying to mingle right now. To be honest, pick up wise I pretty much have it all. I'm a really good looking and outgoing guy. Usually never have trouble with girls in person but I find that conversing via text (or tinder) is insanely more difficult. I'm not a needy texter and won't send more than one question in a row or dominate the conversation, I try to balance questions and statements, you know, common sense social skills stuff. But when it comes to texting, girls suck. It's like their hearts aren't into it. I've honesty just felt like giving up when a girl will NEVER asks a question, even though I've given her a thousand good topics to work with. I feel like I honestly have to shepherd the conversation to shit if I want to get it to the point where I can ask the girl on another date. But if i can get to this point, the dates usually happen (and a lot of them are good).

You guy's know any cool tricks I should be doing to make the conversations less one sided. Or, should I immediately assume she's not interested and move on (although in my experience these girls are often still interested)? Also, is texting really the most effective strategy to arranging dates and or getting to know someone? Like, should I just not bother too much and call girls instead?

Hope you guys can provide some feedback on my poor texting situation. In regards to other things I might even have some pick up tricks that are hardly mentioned on this sub and I'd be happy to become more involved with this sub if I have the time. Thanks!
