The rhythm of a good text conversation: questions mixed with free-flowing banter

By Fabrizio Rausa

Fabrizio Rausa describes the structure of a well-paced text conversation as question, banter banter banter, question, banter banter banter, question, not question after question after question leading straight to a date request. You move between normal interview-style questions and free-flowing playful exchanges, including fantasy scenarios, jokes, and callbacks to earlier jokes. The woman in this example even brought up the interview questions herself, but most of the time you are the one steering that rhythm. The key is that it never feels like an interrogation.
