Everyone and their Grandma seem to be texting these days, seeing how it\u2019s almost impossible to find a phone that doesn\u2019t have a full keyboard.\u00a0 When you have something simple and quick to say, for example, \u201cLook I\u2019m sorry I shaved your cat, but get over it,\u201d it can be convenient, but if you\u2019re trying to convey any kind of love, affection, emotion, or desire to fornicate (\u201cdid they just say fornicate?\u201d-\u00a0<\/em>Yes, yes we did!) it can be a huge pain in the buttocks.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry though; we got you covered with everything you\u2019ll need to know\u2026<\/p>\n DO:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n KISS \u2013 No, not the kind where two lips connect.\u00a0 We\u2019re talking about the rule of KISS aka\u00a0<\/em>K<\/u><\/em><\/strong>eep\u00a0<\/em>I<\/u><\/em><\/strong>t\u00a0<\/em>S<\/u><\/em><\/strong>imple\u00a0<\/em>S<\/u><\/em><\/strong>tupid<\/em>. If you have a sexy one-liner that you think will make your crush blush, by all means text it.\u00a0 Just make sure they don\u2019t have to scratch their heads to figure out what you\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n DO NOT:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Write like you\u2019re in second grade \u2013 Keep your\u00a0grammar game tight, Plz and thk u. While texting may be a casual way to communicate, you still need to take the time and make your message readable.\u00a0 The last thing you want is to blow your chance with a special someone because they don\u2019t have a degree in kindergarten spelling.<\/p>\n DO:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Let them know you\u2019re thinking of them when you\u2019re not together \u2013 There\u2019s nothing better than receiving a random message from the person you love. \u00a0Use a text to remind someone that you\u2019re still laughing about a joke you shared or that you can\u2019t stop thinking about last night\u2019s Flintstone\u2019s episode when they \u201cmade your bed rock\u201d (wink wink)<\/p>\n DO NOT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Use it as a substitute for face time \u2013 The only way to make your relationship really special is to spend time getting to know each other. So if you\u2019re texting to replace a date, watch a movie, or have an important conversation, than you\u2019re probably going to send the message that you\u2019re too busy for your loved one.\u00a0 Which means it\u2019s only a matter of time until they\u2019re too busy for you.<\/p>\n DO:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Use some humor and inside jokes \u2013 Yes, it can be hard to sense sarcasm through a text message but if you and your lover have a little joke together than send away.\u00a0 Avoid getting stuck in one of those boring conversations that covers topics such as \u201cWhat did you have for dinner tonight?\u201d and \u201cHow was work?\u201d- Save those text conversations for Mom and Dad.\u00a0 Instead, spice up the convo with a little\u00a0flirting and teasing.<\/p>\n Fair warning<\/em>: be careful with sarcasm because what you meant to be a funny joke can easily be taken as a relationship ender. For example, answering the question, \u201cWhat are you up to tonight?\u201d with a response like, \u201cSpending time with my mistress.\u201d<\/p>\n DO NOT:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Pull a Tiger Woods\u00a0\u2013 It\u2019s easy to get caught up in sexy conversation and say something you normally wouldn\u2019t behind the confidence of your iPhone screen, but unless you are in a rock solid relationship, don\u2019t say something that can be used against you. It\u2019s not a good idea to tell other people\u2019s secrets or even your own when it\u2019s just one click away from being spread all over the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone and their Grandma seem to be texting these days, seeing how it\u2019s almost impossible to find a phone that doesn\u2019t have a full keyboard.\u00a0 When you have something simple and quick to say, for example, \u201cLook I\u2019m sorry I shaved your cat, but get over it,\u201d it can be convenient, but if you\u2019re trying…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":620,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[35,34],"class_list":["post-108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-social-networks","tag-texting"],"yoast_head":"\n
