Women are replaceable. If you have this attitude, you will bag a lot of chicks.

To the OP, she texted you last minute because her "plan A" fell through and you are the 2nd choice (or 3rd..) for the evening. Event though you want to bag her, resist the urge to agree to do something that same day. She will forever regard you as someone who is not worth her complete attention, as you have proven that you will drop everything and spend time with her that night, last minute and on her schedule.

I understand that you wish to boan her. If this is still the case, you must, as another poster suggested, tell her you are busy that night but suggest that next weekend will be OK, and that YOU will get back to her later next week. Don't call her (NO texting, it's for punks) until the day right before you want to see her, such as Thurs night for Fri night. This way she will have spent all week wondering if you are going to call, and be thinking of you all week, thus upping your desireability in her head.

I CANT believe I even have to type this out for you people. I should teach a class or something. But alas I was also just as clueless back when I was in my early 20s.

Again, in general minimize the texting and make calls instead. Texting is for juvenile boys who have no game. It's stuff like this that makes girls easy pickings for older 'more mature' men like me. Or continue doing what you are doing, and keep men like me freshly supplied with young mid 20s women for our weekend entertainment

In the very beginning I'd disagree. Sometimes girls just feel more comfortable communicating through texts than a phone call. (no gap, if you got this then there probably is an age gap)

A person's voice communicates a lot more than just what the words of a text message are saying. Even more so, when you speak with someone in person, you communicate much more through your body language than with just your voice.

I'm not advocating asking a girl out in person, nor do I think it's wrong to ask a girl out by text. However, if you are looking for further clues and information about what a person is trying to communicate (and it appeared that the OP was), then using an inferior form of communication will hamper your ability to read into what a chick is really trying to communicate. For some, this is no big deal. For others, they are trying to gather as much info as possible. Choose your form of communication accordingly.

It doesn't seem like much has changed really.

I'm a young guy and to me a grown man who thinks its better to text a woman he wishes to build a romantic relationship with has a lot to learn.

I can't count the number of times I've heard or been part of a conversation about some silly boy who won't call. The talk about putting them on the spot and how they like to have time to think about a response is ridiculous. Putting them on the spot is the point. You can tell within a few minutes whether or not you should pursue something as opposed to weeks of silly text messages and fidgeting with your phone.

Texting is casual and there are too many things left to interpretation. That isn't the sort of position to put yourself in when trying to get to know someone.

Being that it's a young woman, then he likely couldn't call either. I can't remember the last time I had landline service in my house.

Preferably, write something like November 22nd, 2012: "I tracked down your boss through one of your co-workers on facebook and he okayed lunch on this date. We'll be going to xyx on xyz street at noon".
Lol wow maybe I am thinking this because I am a bit sleep deprived BUT I think this would not be such a bad idea. I may try it, I think it would give her a good laugh and I would get a "OMG HE IS SO CUTE" reaction out of it. Posted via Tapatalk
