Dating has gone digital, and text messages have become the way to connect and flirt. But texting etiquette can be tricky. What's right today might not be tomorrow. To help you out, here are some simple tips to up your texting game.
Who should text first? No rules for 2023, however, it's special when the man texts first.
Acceptable texting hours - 7am - 9pm.
Texting everyday is expected, if interested. Make sure it feels natural and reciprocated.
Dry texting (i.e. - one word text messages) is a BIG No-no! Wait until you can provide a thoughtful text response!
Use Emojis and GIFs: Emojis and GIFs can add fun and express your feelings better than words sometimes. So, don't be shy to sprinkle them in your texts. They make chatting more playful.
Stay Positive: Keep your early conversations light and happy. Don't dive into deep stuff or old relationships right away. Share stories, interests, and dreams to get to know each other and have a good time.
Be Patient: Sometimes, people can't reply right away. It's okay! Give them time. Avoid sending multiple messages if you don't get a quick response. They'll get back to you when they can.
Plan Dates: When you're ready to meet in person, use texting to set up dates. Be clear about your plans, but also be flexible. If they can't make it on a particular day, suggest another day. It shows you respect their time.
Remember, texting should feel natural and true to you. It's about connecting, having fun, and getting to know someone better. Happy texting!
