excessive texting during quarantine
im generally more of a casual dater. not necessarily fuck dates, but usually sex within first date or 2. for me text is a means to get the girl out - occasional flirting/banter, but we both have lives and texting is sparse
quarantine, however, has been interesting. some casual crib meetups, sure. but more noteworthy are 2 particular girls ive been texting nonstop for about 2 weeks now. initially I tried to keep texting to a minimum as I work to a close, but they kept reopening me. now I just go along w it.
these are the types of texts you exchange w a gf type - 'whatcha up to' texts, nudes every night, super intimate topics you NEVER share w strangers, the occasional long phone call, etc. one girl of the 2 im particularly interested in, but was exposed to a person who tested pos for corona 1week ago. she wants to take another week to make sure she's ok before meeting up. understandable. lives w grandparents and has self quarantined. clingy type at start but loosening up now.
the whole 'all day texting' thing w a stranger is a bit new to me. its been enjoyable so far, but occasionally vibe goes cold a bit. I just go w the flow.
im not worried I 'wont have anything to talk about' on our date. and if the vibe dies before then, so be it. but whats the protocol here? do I mostly let the girl dictate when we talk? do I ever open her? are these type of texting relationships sustainable? or do they just die out
whats the path forward here? bit diff topic but worth discussing
Personally, I actually never do the excessive texting thing with chicks. That was an issue with my last gf who thought that my lack of texts every 30 min meant I didn’t care about her. I’ll sometimes just let a text sit for a few hours before replying. Also, I generally keep the convo pretty relevant to mutual interests. For example if a girl was in one of my videos I’ll give her updates about how it’s doing and talk about the next one. I’ll crack jokes a lot too. Hopefully this helps

Can you share what kinds of things you text about? Sorry if that is a dumb question. I try to bring up shows or movies, but when she has not seen them the conversation dies quickly. I am worried about asking what she is up to then not having anything to say.

ofc, some girls are unmeetable and I get that. mostly though, im referring to the ones you plan to meet during quarantine but are substantially more 'chatty' than your average chick in the interim
for the girls you text more frequently, do you mostly let the girls dictate when you text? do you ever reach out yourself just to initiate some flirty banter ? or is it always 'with purpose' as you say as opposed to send her 'check out what im doing' kinda thing
or, do you mostly only reciprocate as necessary w fun flirty banter when she reaches out (letting the convo die when it needs to, obv)
