So I didn't know if I should put this in the love and dating or in here but I'll put it here and there as that's probably closest to the truth I'm sure... I do like this girl but she has someone she's into and I've come to terms with that but I got her number today and we've text'd back and forth about 4-5 times just me saying I forgot to give her my number and asking her what her cell service is and the thing is I've run into that lovely wall of not having anything to say. I want her to be my friend and everything and she's pretty cool but I'm a total imbecile when it comes to this whole texting thing and it's rules when talking to the opposite sex if your just being friends and such, I've gotten in person down a little better not perfect but well enough to talk from time to time and wanted someone with more exp in texting like this to give me some advice.

I'm not sure about texting, per se - but you might try just asking her questions about herself. I've had a lot of luck with NT friends, by asking stuff like "what's your favorite smell" - things they don't normally get asked (and never anything that can be answered "yes" or "no" - the idea is to start a conversation, not stop it.)

It's my experience that people generally like to talk about themselves - and women/girls don't get asked about themselves nearly enough (at least, not by men/boys.) So get her started on a subject - which should give you some openings to respond.

Good luck!
