I think texting can be very effective if you have the patience for it. Most of my continuous attraction is done through text. What i generally do is have conversations with her and throw in funny comments like "you wish you had it like that with me" or "if you only knew", "think you could handle that??

" usually always with a smiley, a winky or a lol. it keeps it light and your still the prize. and for gods sake you will get hoop theory out the ass with texting from a girl, so almost always answer a question with a question.
i.e. girl: "who do you think you are??

"
You: "wouldn't you like to know??

"
Something along those lines. remember your always the prize. and they love it when you don't give them everything.
