Hey guys,
So I met a girl last night, got her number and text her today just to establish contact.

My question is, how can i keep her interested over a few weeks, because I will be going away for business for 2.5 weeks. I will not be able to see her in the mean time.
Im terrible with text and phone game as is, so i have no idea what to do.

How often should I text? should i still be dhv'ing to keep attraction, or just texting her to keep me on her mind? What the hell should i be texting?

Thanks, i do not know anything on this subject.

Alrighty. Since your still new I would suggest one day you text her and say "I'm going to call you later tonight". Then she'll say something like "when" or "Ok." Basically you call her when you say, but like 15 mins late to get her excited. Then just talk, and be yourself. It's crazy the power of voice vs text messaging. I want to hear how this goes too

Hm. I'm a fan of when I tell a woman I will call at a specific time, I do it. I'm punctual, and expect the woman to respect me the same way I respect her. I understand the whole anticipatory wait 15 minutes, things, and I agree with Novice, suggestion, but if you say you'll call her at 9, call at 9:00, not 9:01. That's my opinion.

For 2.5 weeks, just do the same thing every once in awhile. don't do it at the same time, though. Keep it fresh, don't let it fall into a routine. And just call once out of the blue, without warning her first.

If she ever doesn't pick up, don't keep calling her back or something, just wait until she calls you.

Good call fresh prince, theres a thousand ways to skin a cat

Thanks for the quick replies, but my internet crapped out for a bit.

Anyways, i took TheFreshPrince's advice, text her that id call her at 9, and i did at exactly 9 sharp. I kept it short, brought up some inside jokes we had from the other night, and just talked. I eventually asked her out this weekend before I have to leave.
Lol, even before i asked her, she was telling ME when she was available. In total the phone call was only about 10 minutes.

Thanks for the help, i guess part of my problem was just being a puss. And good thing i called, cause the power of my voice really was waaay more powerful then texting. (Thanks Novice9325)

I'm proud of you! What are the plans for hanging out with this girl?

Sorry for delayed response, my internet ate it again.

Just made plans to take her out tonight with a couple friends(hers and mine). Basically just going to go bar hopping. Not too afc, but it should build enough comfort i need to isolate her tonight, or atleast build enough comfort to take her out alone when I come back.

just gotta work on my text game to keep myself on her radar for the next couple of weeks im gone.

I like it. Make sure to kino at the table, and send cute messages to her. Keep me informed man!

I have done the "I will call you at 9" but sometimes they dont answer the phone?
Whats the move after that? Leave mssg? If they dont respond at all next day, then what??

If she doesn't pick up when you say you're going to call, no big deal. You can't expect her to st by the phone and wait for your call at that specific time, right? You wouldn't do it.

If she still hasn't called back by the next day, then she's probably not interested, and you can give her a ring the next day. If she picks up, just pretend like you had no idea she didn't pick up and didn't call back. You're too busy to have noticed. If you get the machine, just leave a message, then forget about this girl, and move on to the next one.

Bridging the gap seems like the hard part. Most of this thread has been about text/phone game. You don't want to come across as needy or too attentive. In that light, I would probably barely contact her, if at all over that time span, but one of my problems is that I need to have big attraction building conversations to reignite interest after long breaks.

To keep you from making my mistake, I would text her a couple times but with the frame that you're doing fun things and texting her just seemed natural. "Something reminded me of you today" style texts will do very well for this. Also maybe "You need to come out to [whatever city] sometime! The bars are AMAZING!" Just something that implies you're having fun, but still thought of her. Let me know what you do and how it works, I'm interested in periodic "check up" text game.

firstly youve kinda got the idea.. dont txt or call every day but when your not able to meet up txting her occasionally will defiantly keep you on her mind, secondly i dont advise dhv'ing over txt or at all really but it was just how i was taught, the best thing to do thats worked for me is be lighthearted and playful, if you really need help in that area i can suggest some stuff to you that can help

Once more...sorry for late reply, internet is giving me a hard time again...

Anyways the weekend was good with this girl, Im going to maintain contact with her.

Like you said Slip n Slide, with the whole 'let her know you are having fun and thought about her thing', that's my best part about text/phone game. It also is really helpful for me to open a conversation with those too. (I never call, just text this stuff)

Im at the point now where I am going to let her contact me first next, as every time we've talked, ive initiated. I also want to use this as one final test. When I call her and text her, she is really receptive, giggly, and talkative, and in person she's the same way. I just want to see if she is a nice girl or if she is genuinly interested.

Again, thanks for the replies guys. Ill be away for a few weeks starting tomorrow, and I don't know if Ill have access to the internet.
