We all know that texting a female, pre-relationship, is like tennis. And Paul has spoken about open and closed loops. My understanding is that PRE-first date, the man reaches out, sets the date and confirms. This is all masculine leadership. HOWEVER, once date one occurs, if there is mutual interest, now, as Corey Wayne says, the man should only do 20-30% of the pursuing. I don't stratify the percentages, but I certainly prioritize women who show extra effort, when spinning plates. However, I have come across a couple anomalies. A couple girls who are SO TRADITIONAL, they will NOT text first. If I don't reach out, I'll never talk to them again. But, when I do reach out, they are still interested. They simply will NOT text first. I was not aware there was a level of "SO TRADITIONAL" that would cause a woman to NEVER TEXT first. I take it as a sign of low interest. But maybe I'm wrong.
