Lull in long distance text conversation = time off, or forced recoup?
It seems impossible to keep any girl highly interested for a long period of time, when you are texting long distance.

Usually the physicality of a relationship keeps things going, and the experiences you have together are important for the 'glue'. But for guys, that like me, travel a lot, or have homes in different countries, it's important to be able to keep girls interested for months at a time only via text.

There is always, in my experience, moments where people are busy, and there is a break in the conversation, or, that for whatever other reason the conversation doesn't flow as well. These lulls used to scare me, because I thought I'd lose my fuck buddy in X country, or whatever.

Then, I realised that it's a perfectly normal occurrence, and just started giving the conversation a time to cool off (a couple of days or so) to see if the girl tries her catch my interest again. This usually works, but I feel that it is perhaps not optimal.

What are your favourite strategies for long-term text game, when it comes to maintaining attraction?

Why are you focused on long distance texting with a girl you rarely, if ever, bang ?

Why not focus on something more local ?

Well, I live in more than one country, and I'm often travelling.

Usually this allows me to keep women that can show me around, and accompany me in different cities.

Ah makes sense, but even for then, what you should is pipeline girls a bit before your meet.

Online dating apps are best for that, and the approach is alot different, some girls would be happy to show you their town if you take them out.

As for the girls you've hungout with maintenance texts, send some cool pics of places you are, go silent for a bit, then hit them up a few weeks out before you're in their country.

To be honest my experience with multiple girls in different countries is limited since I haven't traveled much.

Keep interactions spaced out but regular. Photo updates of cool stuff is always a good way to re-engage.

I usually send them messages every once in a while and have a little chat. Sometimes I even video call them, that's a good way to keep the girl interested.

I think if its long-distance, if you just stick with texting, you will eventually fizzle out. I think it is key to call and chat on whatsapp every once in a while, and discuss plans about how you plan to visit her in the near future to keep the flame alive. Maybe even make up that you will be visiting her country in a few months (even if you have no intention on it) and then just talk about how unfortunately you weren't able to do it - if she likes you this will make her depressed and she will start getting into you even more. It can be a huge build-up for when you eventually visit and go for the bang.

I've found having those girls on social media like instagram and snapchat does a similar job to texting in keeping them engaged. High value posts like cool travels, gym progress, and partying shows them your an amazing guy with an amazing lifestyle. The added kick is when you, this amazing guy, sends them what appears to be a unique message/snap every once in a while meant for just them. Even though youve copy pasted it to all of your prospects in the country.

I only have experience with girls in the 18-20 age range so i cant speak for older women who may lose interest faster for all i know.

I plan on giving the phone call and video chat pathways a try. I prefer that sort of interaction since theres so many more things you can communicate with your voice than with just words on a screen. Plus its fun

Shit I have more problems keeping myself interested in them.

Why would you go to the trouble of doing long distance shit for a piece of twat? Doesn't seem worth it for me.

Cuck.

Lol ok seems like it'd be easier to just replace them when you come back.

If she's not making the effort to keep you in her loop, it kinda lets you know where she stands.

RE: Lull in long distance text conversation = time off, or forced recoup?
From being in the same situation this is the best advice I can give you.

1: At least one long phone conversation per week to keep her interested and invested (she needs to hear your voice, it will let her remember the feelings she had which made her agree to long distance in the first place) Obviously calibrate to the situation but long term it's impossible to do more than this otherwise it gets in the way of other things in your life at the most important times..

2. Emotional spikes are key, send her screenshots of old conversations where you felt your connection together, old photos of you and her together, carefully drop in how you were 'thinking about that time you first met' or the first time you had sex.. it will make her feel close to you again.
