After watching some videos from Todd V. about text game (I recommend looking him up on text game), I feel like this man has mastered how to revive dead conversations because it actually works. Total legend.

I'd like to share some examples from my chats with girls and hopefully, it'll help others.

The gist of it, dead numbers can be due to various things:

  • You made it difficult for her to respond
  • Life happens (we're all people, we get swamped with work and other shit)

Suggestions from Todd V during silence (no response):

  • Sharing something cool about yourself, interesting fact about your life or interesting anecdote (does not require response)
  • Do not keep asking questions or make plans
  • It would be like posting to social media (but you are sharing it with her)

My own suggestion:

- Sometimes a joke about the last non-response might work (see below)

In Field

Okcupid girl

I've matched and opened the girl but went hard to get her on the phone.

Me: Hey X, its late, I am going to bed early to get my beauty sleep. Nice chatting with you :)Me: Are you on whatsapp. Add me on there <my number>

(crickets. silence and no response for like 1 day....)

Me: Perhaps you prefer that I mail you a walkie talkie, we can communicate that way 😂

Her: 😂 I'm ok with in here for a bit

​

So, she obviously thought I was pushing too fast. She just wants to take it slow. I basically killed the interaction after the ask. However, I revived it with a joke.

Hinge Girl

I've matched and opened the girl but she was some what un-responsive likely due to life happens or other situations (travelling or w/e). This time, I was in situations where there was two non-response. It was interesting.

Silence 1

Me: Made a very corny joke about rabbits (because she has one)

(crickets. silence and no response for like 2 days....)

Me: I have a love and hate relationship with the gym.

Her: Whys that ?

Her: Lol

Me: Blah blah blah

Thankfully, she shared a snippet about herself and how she feels the same way. Like she was trying to relate to me.

Silence 2

Convo. is going ok but slow responses.

Me: Are you a coffee or tea type of person ?(crickets. silence and no response for like 1 day and half....)

Me: Dear diary. Cute girl vanished. Should I send search party ? (Todd V's line - I love it)

Her: 😂 Sorry forgot

Her: Blah blah blah

​

Summary:

  • Change your thinking about non-response and dead conversations (adapt the Todd V's thinking and incorporate the techniques to revive it)
  • This isn't a foolproof technique. Works sometimes but its not 100% (keep that in mind)
  • Share something about your life that she can relate to or crack a joke about the non-response (in a non-needy and non-salty way)

Another good video is his video on: "text game 101", he goes through the four types of text you'd ever get.
