Texting has become a common practice in dating. It can be a source of anxiety, affirmation, distress, passion, or fury, depending on the person’s knowledge of texting etiquette. But, the rules are pretty simple: 1 ) do n’t hide behind your phone, and 2 ) keep it casual.
It’s important to make it clear that you are interested in the person you’re texting, but do n’t go overboard. If you exchange words in a conversation, it may seem overly sentimental and make the other person dubious of your fascination. It’s alright to wait a few hours, weeks, or even a fortnight before texting suddenly after your first date, but be sure to let them know watch that you are still interested.
Do n’t play games. This might involve trying to make them feel envious or intentionally putting them off responding to their scriptures for a while. This can give them the impression that you are n’t really interested in them, which will only lead to their waning interest.
Do n’t use sexy emojis in text conversations. It can be interpreted as physical abuse because it is a major turn-off for the other party. Do n’t send photos of yourself wearing bikinis or other inappropriate clothing unless you and your date are comfortable with it. To prevent them from worrying about their privacy or being emailed to their coworkers, you really save those emails for when you are in person with them. Finally, do n’t text them while they are at work, at school, or with family. You do n’t have respect for them, as shown by this, which is viewed as a massive invasion of their privacy.
