And speaking of texting... don’t.

“Never text the guy first, not even to say, ‘Hi, how are you?’ It’s something easy you can do. Just don’t initiate a text or a call ever,” said Laurent. “If you take that one rule alone and see how that changes when you meet someone new. You’ll immediately start realizing that it has an effect.”

“Also, don’t get caught in the texting trap ... don’t become one of those girls who has hour long conversations via text with the guy because then he’s never going to pick up the phone and ask you on a date. You’ll become the text girl. It’s a very convenient to text but during the first few weeks you need to set up guidelines and parameters for courting. It’s different than getting to know a friend – things can easily go awry in dating.”
