Man learning how to build attraction over text by not revealing feelings too early

Should You Tell a Woman How You Feel Over Text? (The Truth Most Guys Don’t Know)

April 16, 20252 min read

You like her. You’ve been texting. It feels like things are going well… and now you're wondering: should I just tell her how I feel? Maybe it’ll move things forward. Maybe it’ll make her take you more seriously.

Sounds logical, right?

But here’s the brutal truth: if you reveal your feelings too soon over text, it usually kills the attraction. Here’s why — and what to do instead.

The Problem With Telling Her How You Feel Over Text

When guys text things like “I really like you” or “I can’t stop thinking about you,” they think they’re being romantic. But what actually happens is they remove all the mystery. They make it too easy. And when something’s too easy… it’s not exciting. Women stop feeling that spark.

Why It Feels Natural (But Backfires Fast)

It’s not your fault. We’ve been taught to open up and be honest about our emotions. But during texting and early dating? It’s not about spilling your heart — it’s about building attraction. Women want a challenge, not a fan club.

Poker Player Texting – Principle #3

That’s why Principle 3: Poker Player Texting is so powerful. Think of texting like playing poker. If you show your cards too soon, the game’s over. You want her wondering what you’re thinking. Not because you’re being manipulative — but because you're showing strength and control.

How High-Value Men Keep Mystery Alive

Attractive women are used to guys throwing compliments and feelings at them right away. So when you hold back — when you act like her beauty doesn’t impress you — you stand out. You flip the power dynamic. You go from fanboy to high-value man.

Show Less, Make Her Want More

Don’t try to prove how much you like her. Let her prove she’s interested in you. Keep your messages short. Skip the gushy lines. Flirt, tease, keep it playful. Save the deep feelings for when she’s already invested. That’s how you get her chasing you.
