Is it a good idea to continue communicating with a girl after a date/meetup has been setup? I usually try to text only to setup date and then confirm it the day before date. I've gotten mixed result from this. More than half of them flake... I want to know for example, if on Monday, I setup a date for Friday, would it be considered a good idea or needy to continue communication tue, wed, etc? I feel like if I don't keep the communication going, girls may loss that attraction and comfort i built the first time I met them and potentially flake. But my text game is inconsistent at best so I don't want to screw up when I already have a date setup. Should I be calling more instead?

As a general rule, only text/call when you have something to say. No 'Whats up' kind of messages. So keep in contact if you have something interesting to say, and don't when you don't. That's all.

What works great, is playing little games through text. You can for instance send her a picture from a cool scene in a movie and ask her for one back. The great benefit of such a game is that you can restart it at any point. When you haven't had contact for a couple of days, just reinitiate with a pic from the latest movie you saw. It generates conversation material too. You can basically do this with anything. Weird advertisements, bad dressed celebrities, whatever.

If you're interested in sex, a great game is trading fantasies. You tell her about something you'd like to try and you ask it back. It can be very short (such as 'in an elevator'). It keeps the conversation sexual and again, you can restart it at any point.

Sometimes I say: "let's play a game" but more often I let if flow naturally in the conversation.

Calling works too but I mainly use it to show I'm interested. On the phone you can ask about her day without it being boring, because it's easier to give long answers. But in text its easier to keep it fun and upbeat.

Great advice. Thanks.

Once I have a date set up, I fall off the face of the earth, as far as they're concerned, No contact from me. Sometimes they text the day of to confirm the date is still on. It gives you massive points generally. Don't transition to the "whats ups" and "how are yous" until they start asking it first.
