I used to not understand text messaging…

I mean, why send someone a message when you can call them up, right?

I fought it… for a LONG TIME. I definitely was a late adopter for sure…

… but I’ve got to tell you. If you’re waiting for the text messaging “phase” to pass… DON’T.

Look, text messaging is awesome for a bunch of reasons… but I’m going to give you my favorite 3.

1. You can get to it when you want to get to it. It shows up on your phone right then and you can check it and KNOW instantly what the other person wants. No need to hassle over answering the phone to determine if something’s important or not.

2. Text messaging forces other people to generally be DIRECT and TO THE POINT… which is great. I hate wasting time beating around the bush.

3. You can control the tempo AND most importantly, THINK about what you’re gonna say. THIS IS HUGE! If you put your foot on your mouth while texting, you either need to work on your text game… which we can get handledl… or you have fat thumbs… lol… and I can’t help you there.

If you want to know more about how to intrigue and connect with women through text messaging, then I’ve got a great treat for you.

I’m interviewing Race DePriest, the creator of the B4 U TXT HER system and I’m going to extract some awesome info for you based on his text messaging prowess. Now, I’m currently going through the program right now with a fine toothed comb…

… but here’s what I need from you.

Tell us your most PRESSING questions about text messaging… no matter how crazy you think they are and I’ll ask Race when I interview him on Wednesday for the podcast, which will be available Friday morning.

Simply put your questions in the comments and I’ll ask him. Also, I may even get him to come over here and answer them personally… we’ll have to see.

So get them in and we’ll get you handled.

B

p.s. Race is the guy that hooked me up in Vegas if you remember from my last email… so he’s on my A list of people right now, even though we’ve never met in person :)

    Whats the best way to make things sexual over text, without making you sound creepy, but means when you meet up theres tension?

    Hey Brad, love the work.

    If you’d be so kind, ask Race what is the best way to construct text messages with women where you can get them comfortable enough to skip the date altogether and come straight to your house?

    here are 5 questions and a crazy question

    1-after you get the number should you call her or text her up.
    2- what should you say to break the ice and make that person feel comfortable with you again.
    3-what if they don’t remember you?
    4-how do you direct/transition a conversation in text messaging to talk about any topic you want..ex you want to flirt with her but you are talking about something very boring and you want to change the conversation
    5-when and how should you ask her to hang out without seeming too needy

    the crazy question: if there is a girl you like how do you text message her to your bed…lol

    1) Is it a bad thing to say “hey what’s up? to begin the convo?
    2) Can you wait too long to text back where it’s too late?

    When txt conversations start to get stale and drag on, the time gap between each persons reply gets longer. Say goodnight or keep thinking of something? How can you tell if she’s having fun replying to you or if she’s just being nice about it all (friend nice).
