Is it possible to befriend and impress a girl with texting skills alone?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am not that much of a talker. But at the same time, I excel at texting. I am able to initiate conversations appropriately, and be respectful and good about it too!

I like to speak in English as I am more comfortable in it than in my mother tongue. And rarely anyone speaks in English continuously around me. Everybody knows it but does not prefer to speak in it.

[Part2603]

No?

Then again, isn't that like the plot of a few Victorian romance novels?

I'm more worried about your use of the word "befriend".

Trying to buddy buddy up with a girl is destined for failure. You need to be flirtatious to stay out of the friend zone.

The usual rules apply, don't be beta, yada yaya, but to illuminate the question of "Does verbal acuity have value?" YES. Your mind, your wit, and your verbal fluidity can signal intelligence, and bitches love that shit.

It will take a minute to get yourself in that position where you and your target are getting to know each other well enough that she can get a sense of your intelligence. So until then the standard rules apply. Keep it simple with stuff like "Hey girl." to get her attention at first. You can't start right off the bat with extended prose.

I think texting is an inefficient and impersonal means of communicating in a dating relationship.

You can have a great conversation through texting but some things feel better when they're said in person. Besides, when you're friends with someone you need to spend time with them. So it's not impossible, but I don't think it's the right way of becoming friends with someone.

Depends what you are looking for. If you want a close relationship, texting is not effective. I generally drop guys who can't advance beyong texting.

If you want a text buddy. Go for it.

Sure. Texts can truly help you impress a girl. Girls tend to like someone they can relate to or have fun talking especially if their pic is nice. If you're not confident enough with your looks, go for an cool anime guy like Gojo Satoru as your profile pic. That'll make the girl think you're cool. Makes a great impression

[chilldude33]

Hey, it's me, a relatable fun guy with an anime profile pic (although I think it's just a random art)

[milkov]

Yeah i see you everywhere and I think you're nice. Only based on your profile pic and name. That's what those things do, it can improve people's first impressions of you

[chilldude33]

How do you see me everywhere when it's your first day here 🤔

[milkov]

I have answered quite a bit of questions today and I scroll down the feed and see your name a lot sharing opinion & stuff

I would t think so. I mean that’s like you bragging you have an 8” penis, she may say wow really. But the minute you need to produce results w your 3” slug it’s not happening. It’s one thing to be able to text, sound impressive, but when you actually go out on a date w her is that same “confidence” you had while texting going to show in your voice, in how you talk, how you carry yourself? Probably not.

[NathanDavis]

it is pointless when the first one or two steps are impressive...

if there's no follow up or more substance to it, it will get old quick

work on your ~in person~ skills... if you are aiming for meaningful instead

[Faith18letsgo]

Me personally no. I need to actually talk to someone. But I know lots of people who have befriended people online are very emotional close to them and never call them.

[Justneedtokno]

It all depends on the conversation. If it’s something interesting, you can have a person hang onto your every word and excited about the next text message you send. If it is lacking, you may run out of things to say to one another.

[Jamie05rhs]

Both of those possibilities are true. And the third option is if I feel like she isn't listening then I will just shut my mouth and not tell her anything.

[SnowedIn]

Befriend? Yes. Impress? Yes. BUT... that only begins the relationship. It can't be nurtured or grow with just texting.

[inhua]

if you have a good profile picture accompanying your text then yes. words alone won't be enough. looks matter.

[Anonymous]

It might be enough for a few weeks but it’s not ok if you want to let’s say date her etc you need to meet in person

[smølf]

Unlikely, but non entirely impossible. It's all about feelings, if she falls in love with the texts then yes, otherwise no.

[churbleburble78]

Of course! And get them to meet up for dates and sex!

[PatriceONeal]

No amount of text game is going to beat 20 chads on tinder.

[Anonymous]

Texting is a dead end.

[Anonymous]

no. texting can only get you so far...

[Anonymous]

Maybe but probably not

[WhitneySnow]

It’s possible

[Exterminatore]

Maybe.

[likelike]

not possible
