This new site figures out how long you should wait to text the girl/guy you’re scoring

It's actually a bit of a laugh

It’s actually a bit of a laugh.

The dating game can be a tricky one at times but the influx of apps like Tinder, happn and Plenty of Fish means that getting a date has got a little easier.

The old-age dilemma about how long you should wait to text/message someone still lingers in the minds of guys and girls and a new site has been launched to help.

TxtWar.com will figure out exactly how long you should wait before contacting the person you shifted once and like, but don’t want to seem too eager.

We went through all the steps today, here’s how we got on.

Boy or Girl

The result

We’re told to wait 18 minutes before contacting our imaginary love interest and the graphic indicates that we’ll probably fall into the friend zone. Damn.

Try it yourself here.

On the other hand, if you do like someone, just text them and never mind the silly minds games or “rules” because they might be snapped up in 18 minutes.
