I don\u2019t believe in any texting rules, but I believe there\u2019s some guidelines to consider. Lets be clear, texting doesn\u2019t replace full length conversations. They are great for communicating, but someone who requires a phone call will never be satisfied with a text. You need to understand what the other is comfortable with and find a compromise. Texting is a modern form of communication and a reality as it pertains to dating. Before getting into an argument about calling too much or being reliant on text, consider some of these guidelines.<\/p>\n

Return A Text As Soon As Possible<\/h2>\n

If someone you\u2019re interested sends you a text, don\u2019t wait too long to respond. Being caught up with work, or life\u00a0responsibilities\u00a0could prevent a quick and speedy response. I believe, if a response text isn\u2019t sent in 24 hours, you\u2019re out of luck and should move to\u00a0the next person. There are exceptions to the rule, but you don\u2019t give yourself much of an opportunity.<\/p>\n

When You First Meet Someone, Text Them<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s something I\u2019ve learned to do, that has helped when I\u2019ve met women at bars or events. After you get their number, and they have yours, text them a \u201cwelcome\u201d message. Much in the same way you\u00a0receive\u00a0a welcome message after signing up for an online newsletter, send a message to the person saying \u201chi\u201d and be sure to include your name.<\/p>\n

Find Out Their Communication Preferences<\/h2>\n

Guys are left with the impression that women aren\u2019t thrilled about texting. There is some truth to this notion, but there are women who prefer texting over calling, some are dear friends. \u00a0Not too long after meeting a woman, you should get a clear understanding of her communication preferences. If she prefers texting over calling, text but throw her a call here and there. If she prefers calling over texting, call, and throw a text here or there. If she\u2019s indifferent, call on\u00a0alternate side parking days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If It\u2019s Important, Always Call<\/h2>\n

If you have an important message, don\u2019t text it. Always call. Important messages seem inconsiderate when you send them as a text, it\u2019s almost as if you don\u2019t care. While that\u2019s farthest from the truth, be sure it\u2019s not the perception. You can text some important news, but make sure it\u2019s followed by a phone call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
