How do I get over the fear of texting this girl?

[Anonymous]

There's this girl I like and I got her number a while ago. I wanted to talk to her alone so I figured that texting her might be a good way to do that. I had one short text conversation with her before. It went pretty well but the convo was really short because my brain decided to fail me and let me forget about everything I could possibly talk about. I want to try it again, but I'm scared because there's a big chance that this happens again. How can I get over this fear and come up with subjects whenever I need to? How do I start the conversation? I asked my friends for help but none of them has ever had a gf so they are just as clueless en nervous about this as I am haha.

First of all, texting is a horrible way to converse with a girl you like. It's a very passive form of communication. Secondly, people love to talk about themselves. Ask her questions about her likes and life. ASk questions that are 'open ended' - in other words - don't have a "yes" or "no" answer.

Use the phone for intended purpose. CALL her and talk her where you can hear her VOICE. Texting is lazy and cheap.

JUST TEXT HER.
She won't hate you. :)
