is it better to text back a few hours later, or right after you receive the message?

Personally, I reply back right after and it works pretty well. If the girl replies quickly, reply at the same pace.

A lot of girls use texting instead of talking. They use it like IM. They reply at a quicker pace and talk to people all the time.

But dont reply TOO FAST. give it like 1 min in between or so. not 10 seconds. lol

I agree with turbo. I sometimes have this happening to me: "Damn, you text so slow"

Although not true, huge IOI.

depends, if you read it and want to reply, go for it, just don't make a habit of always replying right away, and then checking your phone nonstop after that.

ok all that crap about how u should text later to make her think that ur a busy and an important guy is all BULLLSHITTT

reply whenever u can, if u are actually busy, then fine, if not and ur jus sitting on the couch and watching tv thats fine to.

point is, text back whenever u see the text, i've actually had more responses that way =]

^ That's how I do it. I text when I see fit. If you try to follow a girl's pattern she could easily notice that you're LETTING HER LEAD. (don't do that, bad move.) When I text as I see fit, they usually follow my texting pattern. Or respond immediately.

I always switch it up, most of the time without even thinking about it. I remember a situation I had with an HB8 a few weeks ago. We were texting back and forth for about 5 or so minutes, a few sexual innuendo's were dropped. And here's what followed:

Me: I'm just good like that haha.

Her: (she sent two of these, back to back)

Me: Two smiley faces...you're thinking about me already

Her: You didn't tell me you could read minds

Me: It's just a little something I do for shits and giggles lol

Her: You do it well.

Me: I do a lot of things well

Her: That's a relief.

Me: Of course it is haha

Her: Educate me.

Me: Where do you want me to start?

Her: What do you do best?

Now I don't respond for a good 5 minutes, breaking up our testing banter. So she sends the same text again... I already knew I was in before we started texting, but that sealed it right there!!

Text whenever u feel like it... Worrying about small details = beta... Taking a long time to respond mighhtttt dhv by making u seem busy... But not so much that it's gonna affect you getting the ass or not lol.

Just avoid being too eager... Like picking up calls on the first ring... Or other shit that makes it seem like u were waiting for it like u got nothing better to do.
