Well, there's always:
I CAN C U. 0_0
And the ever-popular:
LETZ MOVE IN 2GETHR J/K!
Honestly, and call me old fashioned, I'd call rather than texting. Actually I wouldn't, because I'm terrified of human interaction, but I'm here to advise you, and my advice would be to call. A few reasons for that.
1. It's more personal. Obviously. Yes, this has the potential to make it "creepier" if handled poorly, but I'm sure you won't. Wait at least a full day, maybe two, give him a ring, and let him know you had a great time and would love to see him again. It's straightforward, which I know can be terrifying, but trust me, it's a powerful move.
Especially if you can get in and get out in under two minutes. That lets him know that you're capable of having a less than two-hour phone conversation, which most guys just love in a girl. The all-night "listening to each other sleep" phone calls can come later.
2. There's no way it can be misinterpreted. Texts are fine, and great at conveying simple, declarative sentences in corrupted english, but when you read a text, don't you always imagine it in a flat robot voice? I do, but maybe my overwhelming love of robots is biasing me.
All I know is, I've had people misunderstand the intent, and even the actual meaning of my texts on more than one occasion. It's hard to know what a person's really "saying" without hearing their tone or inflection. The phone call, in other words, gives you a lot more control and guarantees that he won't take your innocent text and read something annoying or creepy into it.
Although if you DO want to ignore my advice and go the texting route, here are some symbols that may come in handy:

BUT WAIT!!! What if she calls & he doesnt answer?(not because he doesnt wanna talk but maybe he's busy & didnt see her callin)...& then he forgets to return her call that day,should she text then?or call again?but that maybe kinda buggabooish....im so confused.
Okay, good question. If it goes to voicemail, just leave a message asking him to call back. Simple. If he does, proceed as planned. If he doesn't, DON'T call him again or text him immediately. That's definitely crossing into annoying territory.
I actually think in that situation a text WOULD be a good follow-up, but I'd wait a few days, and I wouldn't text him anything probing or relationship-y. Call or text saying "hey, we're going to this thing later, wanna come?" Low pressure, fun, ball's in his court.
No response? Then you're done. He's gone. Forget it. He'll either make it his business to get back to you and let you know that his phone was destroyed or something, or he's not interested.
:-) thanx!
I'm intrigued on how this question was answered on the 20th of December 2009. My highly technical source of date information (aka, the calendar with really cute kittens on it) tells me it's the 15th of said month. Unless......Whoa! Did you figure out the space time continuum? I was more into teleportation, more specifically, teleporting IHOP breakfasts to my house.
As always, the culprit is frail human error. I pray for the day our robot overlords wrest control away from us so we stop making idiotic mistakes.

this whole annoying text thing doesn't start and end with women. i got this dude who has been texting me every other week for the past 6 months and i have not responded to him yet. if i don't respond to his text within 10 minutes, he sends another very passive aggressive one. not attractive one bit. it's gone to the point of not just calling or texting, now he's trying to find me on facebook and trying to chat there. 6 MONTHS OF NO RESPONSE. that's as subtle as a sledge hammer. i'm not interested one bit, not even being friends, but everyone should follow the '3 strikes and you're out' policy. if the first two times of attempted contact fail (maybe it was a mechanical/technical/human error), then try a third time. but if that third time fails, move on. spend your time texting someone who responds.
Maybe you SHOULD respond.
"I'm not interested," "Go away," "If you hear my voicemail message, you will be dead in seven days" are all valid responses.
Here is my problem with text messaging: my phone does not come with a breathalizer.
And there is no app for that.
I am all for women making the first move and all that but I think you need a sign that he is interested first. My advice is to wait and not call or txt...if he doesnt call after a week, write him off coz chances are you had more fun on the date than he did. Believe me, if the date was great, he wont want to wait long.
Hasn't anyone seen the movie He is just not that into you. Honestly if wanted to text you or call you he would of by now. Wait until he calls you.
Do not be thinking of him go out withouther guys.
