themselves as more suave and sophisticated. It's hard to imagine James

The Texting Gameplan: The Steps
Let's say you met a woman at a bar on Friday night. You had a
good time and ran The Cube cold reading routine on her. And you seeded
this great sushi restaurant that only you and your friends know about.
Now, it's a day or two later and you want to follow up. Here's the plan:
Step 1: Start with a reminder of the good feelings you had

you might have shared.
Step 2: In the same text, refer to the date that you’ve already

" Hey, how’s your big cube doing? Here’s the info for the place we’re
going to on [day of the date]. [Logistical Info]. ”
