‘I went on 100 dates - these 3 texts will ensure you never get ghosted’

If you’ve ever been ghosted after one date, then Dr Angela Anhola is here to help. She’s the author of 100 Dates - and as the title of her book suggests, she went out with that many different men to research the key to romantic success.

According to her extensive research, the way we text can increase our chances of finding love. Your texts need to “express what kind of person you are: a positive, ambitious, confident individual who gets the job done,” says Dr Angela. “Keep the language positive, and use words that express joy, enthusiasm and determination, regardless of whether you’re sharing your accomplishments, planning your date, talking about your great day, or even just expressing how thankful you are for all the good things in your life. “The feeling that maybe life isn’t quite so bad after all is infectious.” Here are her key three texting rules - and what not to say - to help secure that follow up date… Use goal-orientated questions The whole point of texting early on is about stirring up those dates.

But there are some real dead-end approaches here, like: ‘Want to hang out sometime?’ or ‘I’m free all weekend.’ Good luck with non-invitations like that.

Have a plan, something like this: ‘Are you up for dinner on Thursday – remember, that cool little Vietnamese place we talked about?’ Showing your decisive and goal-oriented side is attractive.
