What do you text back when she says “dog person or cat person. this decides everything.”?
She sent
“dog person or cat person. this decides everything.”
One reply that flips it
“dog. cats look at me like they know something. what was the right answer?”
Why this one is the strong flip
It picks up her own word, “dog”, and turns it around, so the line could only have been written to her.
It stays short, it reads like a text rather than a paragraph, and it is charged without being graphic. The suggestion is the whole point, and spelling it out is what kills it.
The move: The Callback
Reuse a word they actually said. It proves the line could only have been written to them, and it's the cheapest way to sound personal.
Situation: opener. The first exchange. Nothing has been established yet, so the whole job is being worth a second message. The line above is one way to play that, not the only one.
Now write your own
Reading someone else's line is not the rep. Get a text like this one, write your reply, and see what it scores. It is free, it needs no account, and nobody is watching.
