This Is The Formula That Will Tell You How Long You Should Wait To Text Back

Probably NOT scientific.

The dating game these days is extremely textual.

Gone are the days of calling the landline and asking to speak to so-and-so… the first few flirty interactions are now inevitably by text.

So it’s not surprising that there are now a strict set of unspoken rules to abide by when it comes to such topics as “Who texts first?” and “How lo0ng should I wait to text back?”

But that takes a lot of thinking, so there is now a site that has been created specifically for the task, whih our bros at JOE.ie stumbled upon this morning.

By taking you through a set of questions about things like your gender and how good looking you are, TxtWar.com will determine exactly how long you should wait.

Here’s what it looks like:

text 1

Nice easy start.

 

Text 2

Hmm.. a little bit tougher, but let’s not be modest.

 

Text 3

Brutal… 

 

Text 4

I mean, I only spit on his hand that once… 

 

Text 5

Well, I don’t HATE him… 

 

Text 6

I think he was having dinner… 

Text 7

Three HOURS and 56 MINUTES? 

Try it yourself here... maybe you’ll have more luck.
