Possible to build attraction/comfort through text?

[Javelin]

In a nutshell, can you use texting to build comfort/attraction? And what is the point of texting?

Background: I've always been taught that texting has two purposes, and only two purposes: 1. To set up future dates and 2. To make her always feel a pang of excitement when she gets a text and hope that it's from you.
I've been advised by a trusted friend of mine not to try to build comfort and attraction over text, which has occassionally worked for me.
So my question is, what is your idea on the point/goal of texting? And is it possible to build attraction/comfort through it?

Yes, it is. If you know the girl, it can be solidified through texting. I think texting should be used minimalisticly, it should definitely not be overdone.
My first GF and I 'fell in love' over IM for a week before we met up properly. My 2nd one also over online communities and IM. We never met. However, that is not really attraction, that's neediness.

Works for me all the time, don't really know why but it does

I communicated with this girl who I was trying to lay via text almost exclusively for like two weeks before we even hung out. I only called when I wanted to set up the date.

It works because you don't have to reply right away, so when you take a long time to respond she might wonder what you were doing between the first text and your reply. I also love not replying. That gets most girls I know going. When we're having a super deep discussion and the texts shoot back and forth within minutes and then all of a sudden, no text till the next day.

I wouldn't really do text game as the sole attractor, but it works.

In modern days text can almost be regarded as a place of courtship haha .. It just helps assist the logistics and maybe even her rationalizing, personally I would not put any effort into any type of gaming over the phone, its as good as your imagination. If you know her it does not apply as "game" if I could say, in the context of cold approach no you can't build that stuff over the phone and its just for the meetup, in highschool, in this world I'm not sure how it applies but iv seen many chodes and betas's(including females) think its their arena so I would stay away from consistent texting with girls and besides no phone or less time on phone=less distraction and more time to dream
