When it comes to texting, there are rules to obey like any other fun game.
Rule 1: SMS is not the answer to escape a phone call
Some guys think texting is safer than giving a girl a real call. It makes sense, but do not fall in that category. When you get a phone number, the next thing to do is figure out when you can both meet again. You will find more success making plans over the phone with your voice than with letters and emoticons.
If you text because you're scared to talk to her, how will you ever speak to her in person?
Rule 2: Add to her day, don't be needy
Remove value seeking texts like, "What up?" or "What are your plans this afternoon?" Texts like this scream neediness, make you less attractive to women, and do not help spotlight your fun characteristics.
Check out these examples that are proven to be more successful:
"I just saw a woman jogging with a purple fanny pack and she reminded me of you"
"Hey dork! :) I bet you are operating at a level of 100% dorkiness today."
Rule 3: Avoid sending too many messages!
She might be the only thing on your mind at the moment but let's keep that a secret between us, otherwise you may freak her out. Text once and only once until you get a reply, then you may text back. If she doesn't respond to your text, you should generally hold off until tomorrow before contacting her again.
Try to place some space between text responses. Keep in mind, non-neediness means sexy because she will see you are in demand and have other romantic options.
When in doubt, pace her. If she texts you back right away, you can text her back right away, but if she takes 10 minutes, then so should you.
Bonus Texting Tip: Use texts to invoke the law of familiarity.
After getting her number, immediately send a text while you're still standing right next to her. This situation by itself is humorous and if you send a funny message it's doubly so. Try messages like...
"You got my number now, but please don't call me 10 times a day :)"
"Who is that really hot guy standing next to you?"
If, after texting her, she saves your number, take that as a definite indicator of interest. More importantly, when you call her later, your phone number will pop up and be familiar. This makes her much more likely to answer. - 15784
