I have no clue how to text girls
How do I text girls like I actually have no idea. Like even if they’re starting the conversation I just have no idea what to say I’m 17 and I hate texting. It’s more of the fear that me wondering how long it’s gonna take before they start getting uninterested in me. What do I do to fix this?
Just be yourself. I am a girl and all I would want is for the guy to be himself. Don't worry about it.
Just talk about what you like, don't like, interests, stuff like that.

You’ve got a lot to learn. Girls are complicated creatures. They say the opposite to what they really want. Start by saying hi and how are you, and then go straight to the point. For example, what are your intentions. For example, if you want to gout with her or summat. If you are uncomfortable or you want to try something a bit simpler you could use the small yea technique. This is where you make the girls say yes to small stuff. For example, you could say do you like pizza? Do you like live music? How about we go to a concert on Sunday and we’ll get a pizza.

You don't text them, you man up and speak to them in person. It's also much more fun.
Not gonna lie I’d love a boy to go out of their way and message me. It’s a very pleasant feeling knowing someone wants to talk to you. I say just message her, don’t overthink what you’re going to say; let it be natural.

The funny thing is I can socialise with girls normally in person but for some reason over text just makes things feel unnatural for me

You really have no idea about women do you?
They say the opposite to what they really want? Nah. Why should we do that?
Complicated? No, we would just like sincere, polite guys to ask us how we are, then strike up a conversation with us. Or say something nice about us, like complimenting us on our smile. Or may be saying "I noticed you said something really interesting in the history lesson today. I think..." All women like to be thought of as interesting.
You also cannot make girls say "yes" either. They will say "no" if they want to. And I would not like a guy telling me what I should think, either. Or "teasing" me as you say on a different thread. Is that teasing by the way, or is this a different word for "insulting". Or being told I was "mardy" if I did not agree with you.

Dude, that's because it is unnatural. If you've got the real talking thing sorted, then that's a lot cooler.
I'm going to be honest man there is honestly no problem if you say something wrong by accident. I'm a girl, and like someone said we'd rather you just be yourself. If you do say something wrong, that's not a problem just correct it, we won't automatically dislike you for saying it 'differently'. So I'd just start texting her and see how it goes

Yes, OP should just be himself. He seems kind of sweet, doesn't he? I don't think we ladies would mind getting a text from someone like OP, would we? Or a face to face encounter if he is being bold enough? In fact we may be flattered.

It might be to do with class differences. I think you misunderstood. Girls of course can say no to the smaller questions. I’ll show you what I meant:
Lad: (soft nonsense at the start)
Lass: (replies with soft nonsense)
Lad: Ey lass do you like pizza
Lass: Yes, omg I love pizza
Lad: Do you like love music?
Lass: Yea, off course
Lad: How about we go to a concert
and we get a pizza
obviously the lass could say no to some or all of these questions, in which the lad will have to tek a step back.

Why are you so obsessed with class? Are only middle class girls discerning? And working class girls less so? Don't think so!!
Misunderstood what, exactly?
Soft nonsense.. what the heck is that?
So talking and chatting first is "soft nonsense" is it? That is the most important part of wooing a female, d'oh.
And I would not like to be called ey lass either. I would also appreciate someone who could actually spell.

Fair enough, but I guess this means war.
Spoiler
Usally start with general conversation like hi and what you up to then ask to play a game of questions which will help you too get to know each other a little better find what you both have in common and it makes things more relaxing

maybe if you feel like that, but want to talk to them outside of when you see them then just call or smth
Talk to girls the same way you would talk to your guy friends (keep common sense in mind). Conversation will flow much more naturally that way.
honestly, just be yourself. That's the best thing you can do. Be honest to the girl you're texting. Ask them how their day went etc. Girls love to be cared about. Just go for it x
