How to Seduce Women Using Text Messaging

It's the 21^st century. The rules of dating have changed. These days, one of the most valuable resources at a man's disposal can fit in the palm of his hand (no jokes, please). Using a cell phone, and text messaging specifically, men can go from ho-hum to heartthrob in less than 160 characters. They can just as quickly transform into jerks and insensitive sleezeballs, however, so knowing how to properly communicate with prospective partners through text messaging is of vital importance.

These tips will help you know the ins and outs of seducing a woman with just two thumbs and a cell phone.

Random Texts are the Best Texts

Sure, everyone sends texts to make plans or confirm dates, but these pragmatic messages won't score you many points. Find random and inconsequential things to let her know about. Remind her of a funny inside joke you two had last night. Tell you just heard a song that reminded you of her. These are the kind of things that melt hearts. Melted hearts is what you're going for.

The Smiley Dilemma

For the most part smileys are a good way to seem friendly, warm, and happy. "It was good to see you" is something you tell your Aunt Myrtle. "It was good to see you. :)" is something you tell a cute girl. The classic smiley ( :) ), old winky ( ;) ), and the big cheezer ( :D ) are all fair game and a great way to make a girl feel like you're her friend.

It should be noted, however, that smileys are not applicable in every situation. Any sort of disagreement or argument conducted over text should be devoid of emoticons. Letting someone know you're angry by typing " >:O" is like telling them their parents died by writing it on a birthday cake. It's just inappropriate. So, leave the smiley for good times and keep them out of serious discussions.

Keep it Lighthearted

Speaking of serious discussions, try not to have them over text messages. Women want to know that you're able to actually carry on a meaningful face-to-face conversation, so prove it to her by reserving these topics for time when the two of you are together. Random texts are good, random texts that say "What did you mean when you said you were scared of the future?" are not. Lacking inflection, nonverbal cues, immediate feedback, and myriad other components that make actually talking successful, discussing serious topics through text should be avoided at all costs.

Always (always) Check Who You're Sending it To

The most strategic and thorough seduction techniques can be undermined by one simple error, sending the right text to the wrong person. Your buddy might be really excited to know that "The date last night was alright, but Jenna kinda smelled weird." Jenna, however, is not excited to know that. Always check who you're sending it to. It only takes a second, but it could prevent a lifetime of heartache.

With these tips, you should be well on your way to making that special someone fall for you. So, grab a phone, think up something worthy of melting hearts, and text your way to romance!
