Chapter 90 - 90: Should I Text Him First!? I

(Michelle POV)

After texting with Andy, I started thinking about Anthony again. Kate was right, I'm the one who should decide what to do moving forward. For god's sake, a real 18-year-old girl has a better thought process than me! I unlocked my phone again. Should I text him?

Wait, earlier he opened the door for me, does that mean that he's already showing some initiative and I should be the one to take the next step? He caught the ball for me though he says otherwise, and he also opened the door of my car for me, smiled at me, while I did nothing. 

What if he misinterprets and start thinking that I'm not interested that's why he isn't texting me? Should I ask Kate what to do? Or maybe Lara? But they must be resting and tired. 

Ok, let me search some advice from the internet..

I opened my PC and started browsing the web. Ah, thank goodness I'm so smart now. In the past, I wouldn't even think of consulting the internet for these kinds of questions in my head.

So… first question. 'Is it possible to have a meaningful relationship with the person you hooked up with?'

The page loaded and a lot of answers appeared through thought catalogs and others. I read through a lot, and to summarize everything, the answer was 'Rewarding relationships are possible for those who delay sex, but it's also possible for true love to emerge from becoming sexually involved first then build a relationship after.'

I like that answer very very much.

Next question. 'Should I text a guy after hooking up?'

The page loaded again, and I looked through the popular answers. 'Yes. Don't overthink about it. If you've had an amazing time with the person, it makes sense to send them a text. Share your feelings with them and tell them you want to hang out with them again. However, you might want to send the post hook up text after a day or two; not after a week or the same night.

Wait, so I can't wait any longer? If I text him tomorrow night instead, would that be weirder? I mean we would see each other in class, and it would just be the two of us. But honestly, I can't even talk to him in person without babbling like an idiot! Ok, I'll just text him.

Next question. 'What do I text to a guy post hook up?'

Another bunch of answers came up. I opened the first link and it enumerated the lines I can text him.

1. Mind blowing.

2. That was epic

3. Let's do that again

4. For some reasons I can't stop thinking about you naked

5. I had fun last night. Would love to see you again.

6. Round 2?

7. I can't stop thinking about you naked.

8. Care for seconds?

9. So, about last night… I vote for doing it again!

10. You're great in bed. Just saying.

What the??? I laughed like crazy imagining myself texting all those bunch of words to Anthony. Well… to be honest I actually vote for round 2!!!! Oh my god. What has he done to me? Honestly, it was truly amazing! But… I want a relationship with him too, also what if he gets turned off!?!?!?

Let me read another one. I pressed the back button and clicked another link. '30 things to txt a guy after hooking up (the complete guide)'

This sounds interesting. 

'It's the day after you've done the deed with a guy. You can't quite get him out of your head. You've got your phone, a device that lets you communicate anything you want to anyone in the world, and yet you just can't think of what to say.'

Oh, this sounds just about right! Continue!

'Drafts are quickly getting typed out, stared at, and then deleted by you. None of them seem quite right, and you're starting to panic just a tiny bit.'

I haven't got to that part, but I can imagine! 

'Relax. Take a breath, because we've got your back. We've done that and we'll dish the details to you. But before that, determine what you're looking for first.'

EXACTLY!!!!! THIS ARTICLE IS SO WORTH IT!!!!!

'There are three main outcomes you can get from this. A relationship. Some more casual hookup fun. Nothing more.' 

Of course, I'm looking for a relationship with him. I continued reading.

'The approach you take when you've got romance in mind will be quite different from the one you'd take when all you want is some more sexy fun. In many ways, it means you need to be more careful. You want to get a little deeper than just talking sex, but you also don't want to get too deep at the risk of seeming clingy.

Keep it light, fun, and flirty. Although a little hotter texting is fine, try not to focus only on the sexual aspects, because you also want to build an emotional connection with him.'

I breezed through the rest and went straight to what I want to know about. What to text him exactly!

'Want a repeat performance? Get straight to the point and ask him for another round.

When you're feeling confident because you rocked his world and he definitely rocked yours, don't need to hold back.

There's nothing quite like a confident and bold woman making the next move. Just ask him for more and watch him hurry to satisfy you… again and again.'

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I WISH! I imagined that happening, Anthony smiling and knocking on my door saying, I'm here at your command my Chelle… Wow, that's a cool nickname for me. Anthony should call me that. My Chelle! Hahahahaa! Ok dirty mind. I know I can't text him that way. Move to next option.

'Tease him a little bit.

Okay, maybe you're not feeling super confident, or you're not sure where his mind is at.

But there's one thing you do know; that you want to do it again. There is a way to check if the feeling is mutual while hyping him up at the same time.

How? Shoot him texts that tease him just a bit without coming right out and saying it. 

He'll be tantalized by the possibilities. If there was any uncertainty, you'll know for sure when he takes the bait.

Examples: I can't stop thinking about what you did last night. It's giving me all kinds of crazy ideas.

I've been daydreaming about you all day.'

I cringed. Uhm… what's the difference between that and not holding back!? Anyway, I continued reading.
