Hooking Up Again: Make the Second Time Happen
How to turn a good night into a repeat, from the first text to what keeps people coming back.
If you want a repeat, say something
The post under this topic starts the morning after, when you’d quite like to do it again.
It admits that this doesn’t always happen, and it covers both kinds of first time: a no-strings partner you’ve just met, and an old friend you’ve turned into a regular hookup. Its rule is refreshingly blunt.
The rule: if you don’t want a repeat, send nothing, and everyone gets the message. If you do, you have to send something, because silence reads as a no.
The post then offers three messages, each with a note on when it suits, so you can match the text to how the night went and how you usually talk. It signs off by telling you to try one and see where you land.
Sending the text is only half of it. Whether they say yes depends on how good you are to be around, which is the argument of the post on being positive: looks win one night, and the second and third go to the person who is good company. The exact messages are on the texting topic.
