Real quick.
@Kilimanjaro What on earth is this bullshyt over here playa? CUT OFF ALL CONTACT WITH YOUR EX AND MOVE ON. It's really as simple as that.
@PuffTheMagicDragon if it's a totally new chick, just ask her open ended questions (concerning stuff you actually care about

) to get her to open up and talk more. Texting should really be limited to mainly set up a date, and then hit the girl up on the day of the date, to let her know of your plans... If the vast majority of convo doesn't flow naturally, due to her being open to you and digging on the masculine energy exuding off a playa... then leave that girl alone and on to a girl that shows more interest and effort. It's happened to all of us breh.
But word to that playa
@True Blue Moon , simply upgrade your masculinity game, and everything in life - including females - will be a WHOLE lot easier all of the sudden
-Be positive, calm, confident and decisive at all times
-Keep your head up and stay with your chest out - aka mind your posture brehs
-Work on deep breathing and do that shyt multiple times a day - especially before dates and whatever other situations you might be nervous before
-Eat clean whole foods and lift weights (squat, bench press, military press, pendlay row and deadlift(. Ít improves your mind, soul and body

)
-When having sex (especially the first few times) with a new chick, dominate her passionately
And obviously, keep improving and growing at everything. Constantly y'all
