A simple, "'sup, bitch" should be alright.

Don't listen to these people. You are coming off as a needy Beta (haven't seen that on the OT in a while), send her a simple "looking forward to Friday" and then leave it alone.

Project confidence. That is what women want. Not some talky, emotional, Chatty Cathy. It's just not that hard.

ETA: or just go with the dick pic.

I don't see why the OP is worried about lack of communication before Friday.

If he wants to talk to her. Send a text or whatever. If not, don't send anything. Just don't force anything.

Nah. I'm just bored and curious what the general consensus is. besides, the funniest responses are usually in threads about women.

Edit: once had a chick flake due to the issue is why I ask--my general approach would be a couple maintenance texts prior like has been mentioned, but that particular one said we hadn't talked enough. I thought that was weird as hell.

Yes txt her moron. If you have to ask then you're going to send her a shitty low value txt anyway so in your case, no don't txt her take your chances she even shows up for the date.

No, you will seem needy. You have to be cool. You don't want the girl to think you are thinking about her . The first date is supposed to be about finding out about each other. Let the conversation flow naturally
. If you have to force the conversation the lady isn't the one.

You should send her pics of you with your last two girlfriends. This will let her know what plane you are on. (Unless your exes are bus stop skanks)

Also, bring your mom with you on Friday. Your perspective new girlfriend would enjoy seeing how you treat the important women in your life.

Pretty much guarantees that she'll ask you to PIIHB after the first date

Who gives a shite? Honestly the sooner you realize that first sentence is the truth, the sooner things will work out. Texting before the first date or even talking doesn't matter. Some I texted a lot, some I didn't. Just depends how you feel.

EDIT: And if the date is 3 days from now, for sure text her. I'd be confused if a person I was taking on a date 3 days later wasn't texting me before that. I'd think maybe she changed her mind.

You can project confidence while also corresponding with her regularly. I'm guessing confidence for you is acting like a cold douchebag who doesn't give a frick.

If you are have interesting conversation, sure. Just don't force it, don't force anything.

This is honestly the correct answer. If you can get a conversation naturally going, do it. If not, save it. Plus if you naturally get something going, that gets some chemistry going to where she'll be excited to meet you. Coldness, all she will do is see where things go. Just take it where it naturally progresses, and you should win.

I like to start fights with girls via txt that I then pass of as sarcasm that they were too stupid to understand when I see them in person. It really lets them know that I'm better than them. Once they understand that I'm out of their league the script is flipped to them worrying about shite like this while I'm getting my dick sucked.

Projecting confidence is all about how you steer the conversation. Always steer her into a question that she needs to answer. Then don't open the txt for like 4 hours. The. Respond with "K". She'll think you are so important to so many people that you don't have time to worry about her. Therefore she must bend over backwards to please you.

Agreed in a way. My point is being cold and distant is likely just going to piss some women off, while corresponding with them somewhat isn't likely to drive them away. Not texting between now and Friday though I'd say is very likely to have you go to a date and have her not show up.
