Pop quiz!
You scroll through the contacts in your phone and see a number of a woman you haven’t talked to in a while (a month or more). How do you handle this situation?
A. Text her some random restart text — “Hey, this drop of water looks like you.”
B. Call her — Remember: men call, women text.
C. Send her a dick pic — 99 percent of the time, it never works all the time.
If you answered ‘A,’ you’re wrong. If you answered ‘B,’ you’re wrong as well. So that leaves us with ‘C,’ right? Well, not exactly. Can’t say I’d do that one either.
Why have an old number in your phone anyway? Delete those sons of bitches.
Whenever I read on the forums (Roosh V or SoSuave), I see guys asking how to restart a conversation with a chick after a long absence. They wonder what type of clever restart text to send her, so she’d magically want to swallow your baby batter the next time she sees you. To be honest, all of them are fucking horrible.
If you haven’t talked to a woman for a month or more, delete the number out of your phone. It forces you to go out and meet new women and kills the option to go back and text these numbers of women who lost interest in you or the other way around. Why pain yourself with an awkward conversation? Just let her go.
Nah, of of 100 phone numbers you should be able to ressurect 3-5 dates.
Just text ‘hey, long time no see. How are you?’ or something similar. Then two things might happen:
- “Who are you?” – very small chance to recover
- “Good! I am fine! How are you?” – continue as nothing happened, keep 2-3 more messages and ask her out.
“Who is this” is exactly the awkward conversation I was talking about.
Nothing wrong with using an old squeeze to get through a lean patch in my opinion. She might not have been good enough to date long term, but she still might be better than immediate options in a pinch.
But is should be a zero effort game. As soon as you find yourself obsessing over how to restart it, it’s already too much hassle. A lot of my old flames actually end up contacting me.
Only way I could possibly support reviving a dead number is if you already fucked her a few times. Never on a chick you’ve never gone out with or fucked.
In an old Heartiste post he said to fake an accidental text like “sounds good” as if it was meant for someone else. If they reply you say ‘ohhh wrong person’ yada yada and then see if she takes the bait.
Agree, old numbers are waste of time.
I text them once every 6th month: “hey sexy, want some fun?”
thats all :p
