I find texting to be ineffectual without meeting the girl. Hence, if you state at the beginning that you don't invest much time in texting, instead you like to meet in person and then build rapport with the girl (via text, call) over a day or 2 (typically I'll only text a few times during the day and usually mid day and evenings). I stated to the girl that I don't use text much so if I text her continuously then that contradicts what I said and basically looks like I'm changing myself to suit her. *Mean what you say and say what you mean* ... I'll normally meet on my way back home from work, we'll chat a little more and if it's cool then we'll do something like get a coffee or go clothes shopping and if not then nothing lost, I'll jump on the train, lock eyes with that girl with the pram who always seems to be staring at me whilst the sarcastic conductor asks if I want a return ticket when he already knows I'm heading back home.

I've only found out about the PUA community since January, i still have mixed feelings about it lol. half the things I've seen on blogs,vids,books ect dont seem like the things i would try, but i have to respect the results they get.

most the material i see, i dont think is very suited to my personality or my social circle. I'm more interested in the core of 'game'.

hopefully i dont get too PUA-ey lol

I don't understand what you mean by "don't seem like things I would try", but if you're all about building from the core up you've come to the right forum. I believe what you've read is traditional pua bollox, stay far from that place. Keep us up to date with your progress and we'll be there to help.

There are a few things you can learn from The Layguide. It's designed as an introduction to seduction literature though.
