So you’ve got her number.
You decide that you’re going to text her.
Now what do you do?
What do you text?
What do you write so you don’t mess this up?!
Watch as Shogo gives you three fresh tips to correct stupid mistakes that guys make all the time when text messaging a new potential date:
If you have any questions, please visit my coaching page:
I got a girls number before school break and texted her and didn’t recieve one back. About to go to class and see her. Gonna be nice and awkward!!
I asked Khiem about it and he said my text was okay but a lil too wordy. I really wish I could have gotten a “fuck you” text back at the very least. This is gonna be realllly interesting… Off to class!
I was very confident the first time I talked to her but when I asked her out I was practically shaking. Probably has something to do with it. Whatever, I tried!!
Trim your eye brows Shogo!
I’ve texted “What are you doing right this second” text comes back “Texting you!”
Not to short. Not too long. Just right, sounds ok, but what’s wrong with calling her?
Nothing wrong with calling her but there must be a option for those who got no balls to do that.
Why not give me a call and say what you want when u text me I feel like we are sitting in front of each others computer doing whatever. Or just come by and see me either at work or home. like the video.
Sandy, I so agree. Unless you plan to date via text message, at some point you’ve got to connect with the person whose number you managed to get. They too are looking for a real person. A simple text message to make the initial date should be enough.
Every time Shogo posts a vid, only the right speaker works. Anyone else having that audio problem with his videos?
Text messaging instead of calling a person leads to narcissism so does social networking. I believe that guy was so excited meeting that gal, he wrote her a novel! lol
I’m not a text messaging person on the phone. I rather call her, and talk to her instead…
I personally will not respond to a text message from a man, particularly if it is to ask me out. For me it is a sign of only half interested, so why waste my time?
For those of you who are scared to ask a woman out – I went away with a group of friends over the weekend. This trip is an annual event. Two years ago, there was a man that I saw who was showing me a lot of interest. The same thing happened this trip. But here’s the thing – he didn’t ask me out. Instead he tried to talk to me, gain my attention etc etc etc. To me, because he DIDN’T ask me out and take that step, he looked, well, retarded!!!
You guys wonder what you look like if you ask someone out and they say “no”. You really need to put your focus on how bad you look when you DON’T take that step.

whatever happened to hear each others voice? whatever happened to wanting to be in each others arms? I can imagine our ancestors doing this. But it is the only way to knowing that u finally found them.

I agree. Texting to me is like telling someone on a computer I would like to meet you next weekend and us get together and not show up. What happened guys trying to make a list of those women who may or may not be interesting. MAN UP and meet me in person instead of through a machine that has nothing to do with what I want to see in real life. Seeing in real life it will help me to determine whether or not i want to be with u. my youngest daughter went through this on the computer until one finally did come to see her. at least he MANNED UP!
I’ve texted women, I’f you’re not busy right now, I want to call you”… Then I’d ask them out, Not gonna text it
My rule of thumb is to not text a girl you want to date until after the first or second date with them. At that point they know you’re somewhat serious and won’t blow off your texts.

David, your press conference is starting…
“You guys wonder what you look like if you ask someone out and they say “no”. You really need to put your focus on how bad you look when you DON’T take that step.”
Good Point Leanne
This always bothered me as far as approaching women,I never really had approach anxiety.Looking back at those times I wouldn’t have looked good either way.I didn’t know anywhere what I know now.
In response to some of the comments: While I agree that in person interaction is very important, I also find that text messaging can be a very fun, and flirty way of interacting with someone that you are interested in. Just remember that text messages can be taken wrong, and keep them short and fun, especially with a new potential date…
Alehandro, it’s a microphone issue. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll look into it.
Kevin, I’ve got thick eyebrows, yes. But there’s no way I’m going to trim them. I’d rather get a manicure
Which is also not happening!
@Leanne –
Perhaps you weren’t giving off the impression that you liked the shy boy and that’s why he didn’t ask you out on a date?
I’ve done the whole take out “Hi”‘s and “How are you”‘s and the guys go berserk! lol They send back “oooook” and other wierdo stuff and never write back again!
They just want “Hi” and “How are you?” back and forth all day as many times as possible! lol
