If you're texting about a date, make sure it's something fun,
exciting, and different. A text message with an offer to go on a secret
underground tour of Hollywood studios is going to elicit a very different
response than a text message offering a dinner and a movie.
If you mention a date in a text message and the woman responds,
"I dunno" or "I’m busy" or "Maybe my friends and I will be out the same
evening" then you need to generate more interest.
Be Careful of Text Messaging Limitations
Remember, texting does not have emotional components of eye
contact, vocal tonalities, facial expressions, or hand gestures, so it's
harder to seed (or sell) a meet up in text than in person. That's why you
should seed the adventure when you're in her physical presence and then
just use the text to follow up.

more joking in a text. Personally, I think that this technique should be
used after you’ve had a good first date, and that person is excited to see
you again.
Text messages are also great ways to follow up on an inside joke
that you might have established when you met the woman. Let's say you
both talked about your addiction to chocolate milkshakes. You could text
her and say, "Need an intervention for those shakes lately?" Use the
inside joke you shared in her presence and you can conjure up those
same emotions from a distance with a well-placed text message, then use
it as a spring-board into another meet-up.
Emoticons and Acronyms: To Use Them or Not
There are mixed prescriptions for using emoticons in social text
messaging. Many seducers abhor emoticons, preferring to position
