In this episode of The Rules Girl Handbook, Sami and Susie break down where most women unintentionally sabotage their power: texting. Inspired by the OG dating bible The Rules, they reveal how texting too much, too fast, can kill the mystery and create a fantasy relationship before the first date even happens.

You’ll learn why holding back isn’t playing games — it’s protecting your peace. From how long to wait before replying to what to say when he hits you with the classic “wyd?” text, they’ll teach you how to set the tone, keep your cool, and let him earn your attention.

Plus, the roleplay segment will have you laughing (and screenshotting for future use). Because let’s be real — texting is where the power play begins, and Rules Girls don’t chase.

Takeaway: Don’t give boyfriend energy to a man you haven’t even met yet.

👑 It’s not me.
💬 It’s you.
