    Female feedback here; text her tomorrow. Texting her at this hour for the first time may make you appear a little like a needy stalker, but some fems think that look can also be kinda sweet!
    Text her tomorrow, whatever time, you have nothing to lose. Don't wait until next week, by then she will have assumed that you were just another muppet who asked for her number with no intention of ever using it, or she'll have forgotten all about you.
    Good luck, meeting someone new and going through all that stuff can be such fun, enjoy it.

    Grow some balls and text friday evening and ask her whats she doing over the weekend and would she like to go see a movie or something. The worst that can happen is she says "no".

    Yeah, there's a great scene in the film Swingers on it, but can't find it.

    Here's a poor subsittute:



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,264 ✭✭✭Pretty_Pistol


    Feedback? Not much to it. Just text her tommorrow afternoon or evening and ask if she wants to go out this weekend. Don't do it in the morning. That Good Morning text sounds a little creepy, sorry Sharpeshooter.

    Give it a a few days, 2 or 3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 996 ✭✭✭Neadine

    Why???
    I really don't get the game playing thing.
    You meet someone, you like them, get their number, why then wait until the weekend to bother to contact them, expecting them to be sitting at home waiting for your call/text. Because obviously she didn't have a life before tonight and it's highly unlikely that she may in fact have a social life, friends, etc., etc.

    Why though?

    Give her enough time to have a good nights sleep and then text her saying he enjoyed her company ect.

    Nothing wrong with a text like that imo.

    I have been on the receiving end of the following morning text, and didn't find it creepy.
    Maybe it's the person who is sending the text that makes it creepy rather than the text itself?!?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    Whatever you do don't text her at 6:30 in the morning asking her if she likes cake.






    I said cake.

    Your right, I forgot what day it is today. Change of plan Leedsfan, text her Thursday evening. Ask her to go see a movie over the weekend. I know its stereotypical but its the easiest thing for her to say yes too.

    Please don't ask her to go see a movie OP, just don't, anything else you can possibly think of besides is ok.

    To make it worse she replied straight away and laughed at me.

    Surely the laughing was a good thing????
    Where did things go after 6:30 am cake texts??? Is it a happily ever after story or more along the lines of one that involved restraining orders??

    There was a comment about sausages and then someone mentioned pie.

    I don't know maybe it comes across as being a little overeager. Also waiting till later in the day means he's thought about her after a day but hasn't waited around for the 3 day BS.

    Just to add a little feedback to how a girl approached this issue.

    Few months back I gave my number to a girl at the end of a night and she texted at 10pm the following night.

    I think if I had been texted the next morning I would have felt a bit stalked tbh.

    Next night seems fine, I would text her within 24 hours.

    Anything more is just playing needless games really.

    Then, maybe some girls like that.

    Just do what feels right as that's who you are and you want her to like the guy you are, not the one you are pretending to be.

    I agree completely, I don't get the whole mind game thing, it's bloody hard work and not a true representation of who people actually are.

    It's pretty good advice actually. Men shouldn't really take advice from girls on how to pull girls and girls should never take advice from fellas on how to pull fellas.

    Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but is this thread not about when to text someone??? The OP has had a night, met someone, numbers have been exchanged, so chances are it's been a case of boy meets girl, boy likes girl, girl likes boy.
    The thread isn't about 'pulling'.

    How many straight girls will a straight girl have dated/pulled/initiated a romantic relationship with, whatever you want to call it in their life? I'm not saying don't take any advice from girls in relation to pulling girls or visa versa. Just take any advice they give with a pinch of salt. They have no practical experience in the field.

    But they ARE what you are trying to "pull" (hate that phrase). Who better to give you advise?
    Its like taking soccer pointers from a guy in the stand instead of asking a player on the field :confused:

    (i dont know why i picked soccer, first thing to come to mind)

    I think you have slightly warped logic here and are not looking at the big picture.
    The OP was asking for some feedback/advise about his personal situation, where tonight he went out and met a girl, who I think it's fair to say he liked, and would like to see again, and by all accords it was a two way thing, because the afore mentioned girl, at some point though the course of the evening gave the OP her phone number.
    Now, the OP's request was for advice/suggestions as to when he should text her. And specifically asked for advice from girls.
    I can only assume that his reason for this was because of his awareness that most females have in fact been in this situation and he wanted to make sure that he didn't text too soon, or wait too long. So, surely a girl is far more able to tell him what she thinks may be too soon, or too long to wait to text.

    To be honest, strobe, what you said, well, that's kinda the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time.
