INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If the girl gave you her number and you want to start texting with her, a good starting point is to text about something you will both laugh about. Maybe there's an inside joke or something that you both have in common that you can message about. Stay away from texting something boring like, “How are you?” This will probably only get you a boring answer and it won't engage her very much. Send a text with specific details about the last time you were together in person. For example, you might say, “I loved you in that red dress the other day.” She'll feel special that you remembered these details. Sending 20 texts in different parts of the day will likely be overwhelming. Stick to 3 or 4 text sessions where you send her a quick message and respond a few times to her texts. Texting is a good supplement to other interactions, like meeting up in person or talking on the phone. Texting can help you flirt, but it shouldn't be the only way you flirt with someone. Even if you're shy, you should get to know this girl by talking on the phone or going on a casual outing together.

Q: Gently conclude your email by giving a quick closing remark before signing off. It should be friendly and does not have to contain a lot of detail. A sentence like, “Anyway, I need to to hit the books!” is a perfectly good closing remark. Add a quick statement letting your recipient know that you want to hear back from them. Writing, “Let me know if you need anything else,” or “I can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to,” is friendly and casual. Ending an informal email can be much more casual than a formal email.
