| Analysing Text Messages |
I was reading an issue of Cosmo that my sis bought and came across quite an interesting article. For those interested, the reference is:
Foster, Z. "What Should I Text Him Back?", Cosmopolitan, May 2006, p. 114
Ok so basically it's about what is behind an sms a guy sends u..even the time it's sent matters! There were quite a lot in this article so i thort id jst reveal 2 for now as a teaser and i'll post more up next time...oh and boys, id love to kno if u agree wit all these analyses =P
You get this the night after you met him/pashed him for the first time:
"So, vodka girl, how are you feeling? Nice to meet you last night. Can we do a double header? Let's see a movie...I'll pick you up at 6?"
What you are tempted to write back: "Six is great - see you then!"
What is best to write back: "Love to, but I have plans. Maybe we can go on Monday? Gagging to see the new [insert actor/actress] film."
Here's why: You may want to see him more than anything, and you may rely on momentum to get relationships going...but leave it a day (yep, it's going to take willpower). Men are notorious for rushing into relationships, only to startle themselves just as you're getting into it [jst ask me and u will KNOW this is so fkn true man]. The key is to set the pace from the outset. He can't go from being a stranger one day to scoring prime time the next. He's got to know that you're busy with a full life, and that your time is valuable. You don't put up the "No Vacancy" sign just because a cute dude suddenly struts onto the stage...
You get this on a Friday night, after giving your number to (cute, funny) him at a party two whole weeks ago:
"Hi sexy, are you around? Want to meet for a drink?"
What you're tempted to write back: "Love to - where? I'll come now!"
What is best to write back: Nothing, or "Sorry. Who is this?"
Here's why: He's had a whole week to call or text you. But somehow, he's been so monumentally busy (leading a small nation?) that he couldn't find 15.2 seconds to text you 'til the exact moment he felt like some female company. [Helen, this is wat i was referring to..the fact that a guy is NEVA too busy to text u if he is genuinely into u] And with a text like that, he is essentially saying that he can't make the (minimal) effort needed to contact you through the week to organise a proper date. Instead, he's cast you in the role of Girl Who Is Only Worthy of a Late-Night Proposition. He probably doesn't realise that you're not the kind of girl who will race off to meet him - you value yourself much more than that.
Amanda agrees. "Don't be available to see him straight away - he needs to work harder than that! This way he'll realise that he has a 'catch' on his hands. Jacinta says she'd text back...but only to say: "Sorry. Who is this?" "It's extremely presumptuous to assume he's the only bloke inviting me for a drink," she says.
