I think a lot of the magic and spontaneity of conversation is lost when you're not having an organic chat. There's nothing wrong with texting if you're just trying to break the ice or you're too nervous to talk, but I think you're more likely to make progress if you give her a call!

best thing to do is to just text her because calling her will be awkward. just say Hi how you doing? and then you know strike up more and you can even search it up on wiki. How to get more ideas.

How do I find excuses to talk to a girl I know on the phone more?
There's this girl who I know but don't see often, and I'd like to get to know her better but am not sure how to call her often without it seeming awkward and forced.

What should I text a girl I like
Hey there everyone! I’m just going to cut right to the chase: I suck at talking to girls over text. I feel like I’m pretty good at chatting IRL where I can read the other person’s body language and tone, but over text I’ve been told I’m staler than an old breadstick. I’m just not good at texting. I just got the number of a girl I think I’m into but I really don’t want to drop the ball when I hit her up. Give me your best topics, convo starters, or lines!

How to smoothly ask for a girl's number?
There's a girl I run into a lot on campus. I don't know her, but we smile at each other and I think I'd like to ask for her number, but I don't know how to do this without seeming...Idk, like a creep? Or desperate? Is it weird to just........ask a stranger for her number? If not, how do you do it (with at least a little rizz)? What do you even say??

I don't know how to talk to my crush
I have been in love with a girl in my class for 2 years but I have barely spoken to her. I don't want to keep just sitting and waiting for her to talk to me but I have no idea how to approach her or what to say. I have her number from when we worked on a group project together and have thought about just texting her casually but I feel awkward and never know how to go about it without coming off weird. Anyone know what I should do? I'm dying here!

How long should I wait before the next date?
I went on a date with this really awesome girl and I’m super into her. Things went really well and the vibes were immaculate. We even kissed before calling it a night and made references to setting up a second date. It’s been 24 hours since our date and I’d like to reach out about setting the next one up, but I don’t want to come off as desperate or creepy or needy. What’s an appropriate time to wait between dates before you reach out? I really want this to go well.
