Connell Barrett

Bare minimum just to keep a social connection going.

Bare minimum, which he wasn't doing.

As an added bonus, what I love doing with my clients is helping them not just keep the texting momentum going between setting up the date and date number one, but to dial up attraction.

I love sending a message the day before a date.

Hey, Rebecca.

I got a brand new haircut, so I'm going to look extra handsome tomorrow night.

You better bring your A game.

You know, something a little fun, flirty, playful messages like that can get women excited.

Not only not cancel on you, but actually get excited about the date.

I like to look at the text leading up to a date as...

movie trailers designed to get her excited, get both of you excited, and the date is the main feature.

So that's a make-or-break moment.

Very subtle.

Don't go quiet.

It's not just about between setting up the date and date number one.

Same goes for date number one.

Between date number one and date number two, same thing can happen.

So keep a texting cadence going, at least one message every day or two.

All right, let's go to make-or-break moment number six.

which is how to handle a woman's tests.
