Been maintaining contact with a girl over christmas that i won't see for another 2-3 weeks. Just general conversation every few days. Oral closed (if that's even a term, haha) each other just before christmas, so i thought i could maintain a sexual level in some of the texts, but it's proving difficult. Tried it twice before new years but she responded to the other point i'd made in each text so i just didn't make a point of it in my replies. Yesterday, i texted her with:

me: "on a scale of 1-omgawesome, how was it? oh, i have a really tough question for you... x" (referencing a conversation we'd had the previous day about her ski trip)
her: "awesome! haha really! what is this tough question?! x"
me: "top... or bottom? x"

I was planning on leading to a joke about brushing the top or bottom teeth which would work regardless of her response, then make a comment about what she thought i meant... you get the picture. But thinking back on those earlier texts, i probably won't even get a response on this. If i don't get one by the end of today then i know she's chosen not to reply to it. Where could i go from there? Something like... "personally, i brush the top first. hope i didn't stump you/make you think about it too much" or should i just leave it?

I've still yet to try and set up a meet for when she comes back which i was hoping to do at the end of that conversation.

I'm still in the early stages of improving my text game, so any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

First part was great. Fun and playful

Personally I wouldn't text her back with the response you planned on using if she didn't respond, reason being is that you want to avoid sending double texts without a response b/c this typically comes across as being needy and seeking her approval.

I would text her tomorrow or the next day and use a fun opener that creates an "us" vibe. For instance something like

I'm about to go rob a bank you in?

I've never had that line fail for me when I've txtd it to a girl before. 100% field tested and effective. This allows you to transition into role playing which is unique and fun / flirty.

Cheers

Ok so she replied while i was in the gym with "lol! what u on about? x". So i can probably run this the way i wanted to.

Thanks for the advice nysos. The double text scenario had crossed my mind which is why i was in two minds about doing it. It may have worked, it may not have.

Now I just need to transition into setting something up for when she's back.

Another question I have... which may be answered elsewhere in a sticky, i'll have a look in a bit, but: at what point does waiting to reply to a text become stupid and clunky? For example, this girl takes a long time to reply, usually anywhere between 6-18 hours because she's busy at work during the day and with other commitments, as am i. Now i know that you're 'supposed' to wait around the same amount of time she took to text you, but in a scenario such as this you only exchange a couple of texts a day which draws conversations out over 2-3 days. To me this seems like it could be a hinderance. Thoughts?

Usually you don't want to respond to her if she takes more than 12hrs to get back to you. If its a good conversation just shoot her a text the next morning or something.

I usually vary the time between the texts I send. I like keeping her on her feet and constantly checking her phone. For instance I may be texting back and forth then all of a sudden I don't text her back for a few hours or until the next day.

What you can do is take the time it takes her to reply to you and half that giving you the time you wait to reply. This usually works out in cases where the two of you aren't able to talk that much.

I'd try sending a few texts back and forth and set up a meet up or just go for the meet up by saying something like:

you: Hey [nickname] do you like fun, great conversation, and drinks?
HB: blah blah
you: X(day of week) is Y(event you want to do) come with me

ex. Monday is sushi night come with me..just don't forget your chopsticks!
