Top 10 Texting Rules While Dating
In our generation most people don’t talk on the phone anymore, everyone just text each other. When it comes to texting the person you are currently dating, there are some rules. There are rules because you don’t want to come on too strong but you also don’t want to seem like you aren’t interested in the person. Hopefully these 10 rules will help.
1. Don’t text the person everyday.
You’re just dating the person, you guys aren’t in a relationship yet so there isn’t a need to talk to them everyday. Text them every other day or every two days, this way you actually have stuff to talk about when you text them. You want to build up the communication level between the two of you.
2. Text interesting things.
I don’t like texting a guy who cant hold a conversation through texting. Don’t just ask the same old boring questions like, “How’s work?” “How many classes do you have today?” These are a question that’s only going to get you one-word answers. Talk about things so you can get to know one another. The boring “how was your day?” texts comes later in the relationship.
3. Be a patient texter.
We have all gotten that “????” text after we have taken too long to respond. You don’t know what the person is doing so just be patient and they will text you back when they can. Some people are slow texters and don’t respond as quickly.
4. Make plans.
You should definitely text each other to meet up and go out on dates. It’s an easy way to ask someone out instead of calling them, which can be awkward.
5. Text normal.
What do I mean by text normal? You shouldn’t text the person you’re dating the same way you would text your best girlfriend or bro. A few “lol” here and there are fine, but keep the cursing, emojis, and bad grammar out of the text conversation for now.
6. Don’t send pictures.
Don’t send or ask for a picture through text message. That’s usually something you do once you are in the relationship with the person. If they ask for a pic, just tell them to follow you on Instagram or Facebook.
7. Don't Drunk text.
This will be a huge turn off to the person you're dating. You don't wanna slip up and say something stupid because you are under the influence. Just give on of your friends you phone for the night.
8. Text First.
It doesn't matter if the guy or girl text first. This isn't a game. If you wanna talk to the person and see how they are doing.. just text them!
9. Lol?
Be easy on the Lol, lmao, lmfaoo, etc. If something isn't really that funny then don't put it. Putting "lol" after every other text isn't necessary.
10. Have fun!
Texting isn't like sending emails. Have fun with the person you are talking to. Send funny pictures, make the person laugh, keep the convo fun.
