This video will serve as your texting bible.
2
It doesn't matter what your skills are or which girl you're talking to.
3
In this video, I will explain everything you need to know about texting in detail.
4
And if you ever feel confused or face any issues with texting, come back to this video and you'll 100% find the solution to your problem.
5
The first thing you need to understand is
6
that the purpose of texting is to set up a date and meet the woman, not just to chat.
7
The goal of texting is not just conversation, but meeting up.
8
Listen carefully.
9
As a man, you won't gain anything from texting.
10
It's a waste of time and won't bring you any benefit.
11
This is the first point I want you to understand.
12
The second point is that a woman will not develop feelings for you just through texting
13
and this is the mistake that many men make.
14
They text just for the sake of chatting.
15
No, you should use texting to get to the stage of setting up a date
16
and here I'll slightly diverge to talk about something important.
17
Men who talk to girls who don't live in the same city.
18
If you live in one state and the girl lives in another, that means you shouldn't waste your time with her And I'm not criticizing anyone, but if you're talking to a girl who doesn't live in your city, why are you talking to her?
19
What will you gain?
20
Even if you meet once a month or once every three months, you need to understand that this is a losing equation for you as a man.
21
There are hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of women in your city.
22
So why are you looking for a girl in another city?
23
Think carefully before you waste your time and energy on this.
24
Finally, the third point I want you to understand is that texting is just a conversation in the digital world.
25
This digital conversation, although it has rules different from the real world, is still just a reflection of the real world.
26
This means that to succeed in the digital world, you first need to know how to communicate in the real world.
27
If you've been following my series on how to attract women, you probably won't have an issue with this
28
because I've explained everything you need and you likely already understand how a woman thinks.
29
If you haven't watched this series, please, when you finish this video, go back and start from the first episode so you can get the most benefit from today's video.
30
Now let's return to the topic of texting.
31
From my experience I've noticed that the mistake I used to make
32
and that most guys make when texting is that they don't know when to ask a girl for a date.
33
That's why I'm now going to explain a basic concept in texting.
34
You need to know what stage you're in.
35
Are you in the stage where you should ask for a date
36
or in the stage where you should just continue the conversation
37
or are you in the stage where you need to build attraction?
38
The important thing is that you know which stage you're in now.
39
Now I'm going to give you a compass that I want you to hold on to.
40
This compass will help you figure out which stage you're in.
41
If you're texting a girl or want to start talking to one, there are four stages you might be in.
42
Stage one, the silent stage.
43
This is when she leaves you on read and doesn't reply.
44
This means that attraction has dropped.
45
Don't worry, we'll discuss this in detail.
46
Just be patient with me.
47
Stage two, the testing stage.
48
This is when she criticizes you, disagrees with you, or talks about other guys.
49
If you've watched the entire series, you already know that I always say girls test guys.
50
It's a biological instinct they have and they do it without realizing it.
51
I also always tell you that I'll make a video explaining how to pass these tests.
52
I apologize for the delay, but soon I'll make a video where I explain these tests in detail.
53
Stage 3, the logical stage.
54
This is when she starts discussing topics with you logically or sometimes emotionally.
55
Stage 4, the attraction stage.
56
This is when the girl starts showing her attraction towards you, like sending you her pictures, reacting positively to your pictures, or hinting at a possible meetup.
57
In any text conversation with a girl, you'll always be in one of these stages, 100%.
58
You need to know which stage you're in right now so you can act accordingly.
59
And don't worry, I'll explain what you need to do in each stage.
60
To make it clearer, let's assume you're in the stage where the girl has shown her attraction to you.
61
And what did you do?
62
You continued talking to her and carried on with the conversation.
63
Here my friend, you've made a big mistake.
64
Why are you still talking to her?
65
When you reach this stage, it means you should ask her out.
66
If you don't ask for a date and just keep talking after a while, she'll reject the idea of a date because you didn't recognize the stage you were in and didn't take the right action.
67
Or let's assume you're in the first stage, where the girl responds with a few words and leaves you on read without replying further.
68
Then, you go ahead and ask for a date.
69
That's another mistake.
70
You've taken an action that doesn't fit the stage you're in.
71
So, once you know what stage you're in, it's time to figure out the right way to handle the situation with the girl.
72
But, before I tell you what to do in each stage, I need to explain something about the world of texting.
73
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know that women are emotional beings.
74
For them, the world of texting is an emotional game, and all of their actions are based on emotions.
75
As a man, you won't be able to play this game with her because you're not an emotional being.
76
You're a logical one.
77
That's why, in this video, I'm explaining things to you from a logical perspective.
78
I want you to understand texting from a logical point of view and approach it that way, so you don't get pulled into the emotional game that women try to involve you in.
79
This may sound strange to you, but this is just how women are.
80
For them, dating is like a game, and it's part of their nature.
81
Consider it an unavoidable reality, but when you enter this game and see it through a logical lens, you can win because logic is your strength.
82
This is what I try to do in all my videos, even if you don't always realize it.
83
In this series, I'm not just giving you information, I'm trying to shift your perspective on dating so you see it in a more logical way.
84
If you'd like me to make a video discussing the logic of men versus the emotions of women, let me know in the comments.
85
Now, let's get back to our topic and go through the stages one by one.
86
By the way, these stages aren't in a fixed order.
87
You could find yourself in any stage and sometimes you might even start in the attraction stage.
88
So let's begin with the first stage, the silent stage.
89
In this stage, the girl doesn't respond or takes a long time to reply, or she might not seem interested.
90
In this case, you should avoid overwhelming her with messages.
91
Don't send too many, and don't ask for anything that requires a response.
92
Most importantly, don't bring up a date.
93
The only thing you can do is leave a simple comment, like reacting to her story, or saying something that doesn't require a reply.
94
The goal here is to maintain your value and not show any neediness, even if she doesn't respond.
95
The second stage is the testing stage.
96
Here, the girl might start provoking you, talking about someone else, or disagreeing with you.
97
This stage is relatively easy because all you need to do is pass her tests.
98
I'll explain this more in a dedicated video, but briefly, here are some ways to pass these tests.
99
1. Completely ignore what she said.
100
2. Take a comment and turn it into a joke.
101
3. Give a response that's completely unrelated to what she said.
102
In this stage, don't ask for a date yet because attraction is still being built.
103
Stage 3 is the conversation stage, where the conversation flows more naturally and might even involve exchanging voice messages.
104
At this point, you can ask for a date.
105
In this stage, I want you to apply everything you've learned in this series, like qualifying techniques or asking emotional questions, and try to incorporate them into your texting.
106
But remember, texting is slightly different from talking on the phone or having a face-to-face conversation.
107
To succeed in texting, you need to include a lot of humor in your messages.
108
The funnier your texts, the more positive responses you'll get from the girl.
109
One key to text messaging success is to avoid using the girl's real name.
110
Instead, give her a playful nickname like Munchkin, Cutie, or My Dear.
111
These nicknames will help you get faster replies.
112
Here's a text messaging technique I've personally developed that works quite well.
113
You.
114
Hey, chickpea.
115
How good is your memory on a scale of 1 to 10?
116
Her.
117
Well, 10.
118
You.
119
Okay, let's test it.
120
If you lose, you're buying me dinner.
121
Ready?
122
Her.
123
Yes, you.
124
What color shoes was I wearing when we met?
125
Her.
126
Hmm, I think black.
127
You.
128
Wrong answer, young lady.
129
Now.
130
You owe me dinner big time, then call her immediately after.
131
Even if she gives the right answer, still call and playfully argue that you had on a different colour shoes.
132
See how simple this is?
133
All you need is a bit of creativity and you can easily secure date after date with minimal risk of rejection.
134
The reason some guys often get rejected is because their messages are just too dull.
135
They send texts like can I call you?
136
Are you free?
137
Would you like to watch a movie?
138
Not only are these messages boring but they're also practically asking to be rejected.
139
Here are a few examples of messages that will get you quick and positive responses.
140
You won't believe how badly I embarrass myself today.
141
My mom would be so ashamed.
142
Call me.
143
I'm starving.
144
I'll let you buy me a burger if you promise to take me out.
145
My cousin's here.
146
She's just like you.
147
You have to meet her.
148
This is the best day of my life.
149
I finally did it.
150
Buzz me when you're free.
151
As long as your messages include humor, mystery, and a touch of excitement, you'll always get positive responses.
152
Now we move on to the final stage, where the girl starts sending you her pictures or showing significant interest, such as engaging positively with your pictures.
153
At this stage, if you haven't met her in person yet, it becomes essential and urgent to ask her for a date.
154
If you don't ask for a date at this point, you risk losing her.
155
If you like the girl and want to keep talking to her, you must ask her for a date.
156
If you don't, she'll either place you in the friend zone or stop talking to you altogether.
157
Now, you should have a clear understanding of the texting game.
158
Like any game, there are rules you need to know and follow to succeed.
159
In short, these rules are, in general, keep your text short and to the point.
160
They should be emotionally stimulating.
161
She should feel something from your text.
162
You should not be texting her all the time.
163
You are a man who has important things to do.
164
Texting her constantly is not one of them.
165
Every text should serve a purpose, to spark her emotions or to set up a date.
166
Send her the first text within 48 hours of getting her number.
167
Don't ask boring questions.
168
Don't try to impress her.
169
Don't be mentally waiting for her to respond.
170
Go about your busy day as you normally do and respond to her texts when you get a chance.
171
Text like a man.
172
Don't ask her too many questions.
173
Instead of asking questions, make statements and commands.
174
And here we have come to the end of our guide.

Speaking Goals for This Clip: Mastering Conversational Strategy
This video targets fluency in strategic communication, helping learners navigate real-world digital interactions with clarity. It focuses on understanding social cues, structuring conversations, and using language purposefully—key milestones for practical English proficiency, especially for IELTS speaking practice where context and intent matter.
Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions for Digital Dialogue
- "set up a date" – to arrange an in-person meeting
- "leave you on read" – to see a message but not reply
- "build attraction" – to create interest or connection
- "biological instinct" – a natural, inherent behavior
- "losing equation" – a situation with no positive outcome
- "hold on to" – to remember or keep as a guide
Fix Your Weak Spots: Navigating Texting Stages
Many English learners struggle with contextual timing—knowing when to shift from small talk to action. The video breaks this down using four stages, which mirror real-world conversation flow. For example, recognizing the "testing stage" (when someone criticizes or disagrees) requires understanding subtle language cues, a skill critical for IELTS speaking tasks that assess interactional competence.
Practice shadowing the dialogue to mimic natural rhythm, especially phrases like "the goal of texting is not just conversation, but meeting up"—a structure that emphasizes purpose over small talk. This helps learners avoid common mistakes, such as over-explaining or missing social signals, which are key to fluency.
Use the "compass" from the video to self-assess: Are you in the "silent stage" (no reply) or "testing stage"? This framework turns abstract communication rules into actionable steps, making it easier to apply in both texting and face-to-face English practice. For best results, pair this with shadowing exercises on a reliable shadowing site to refine pronunciation and intonation while internalizing these strategies.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | you've been following |
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | If you don't, she'll either |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | I've explained · haven't watched · I've noticed |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | are based · being built · be rejected |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
