Texting has been widely famous all over the world. We’ve cultivated a texting culture. We’ve made our own rules and developed our pattern of texting. Some used it for communication while others is to simply connect with friends. While the youth are very much hooked on this leisure interest, we should remember that it shouldn’t be a way in terms of courting and dating. We should not develop a pattern of “techno-dating”. We should always consider some facts about texting.

• Texting is not a substitute for real communication. This is no replacement to a face to face so confess emotions in person, not in text. “I love you” in text is nothing compared to a live, stuttering declaration.
• Texting leaves so much room for miscommunication. You can never tell the information in a text message. You could be mistaken for being bossy when in fact all you wanted to be was decisive. Plus, there’s always the possibility that the person won’t get the text.
• Understandably, boys have become lazy. Expecting old-fashioned courtship? You’ll gather cobwebs waiting for that to happen!!! If you don’t want to feel like a booty call, don’t go out with him if he asks you via text. Wait until he calls you at the very least. Let him make an effort so that he’ll appreciate how special you are. A man always likes a challenge. Don’t let the convenience of texting turn you into a convenient date.
• Don’t clog up your date’s inbox with quotes and graphics. It’s a lame way to call attention to yourself. If you really want to tell him that you had a good time on our date, do it the next morning. A simple “ I really had fun last night” will do.
• It’s so much easier to turn them down in the cell phone age. Maybe you gave out your cell phone number because you were too shy to say no. At least now you can simply ignore his texts and phone calls. You no longer have to brief everyone in your household or office to tell him that you’ve moved to another country. If you’re the non-confrontational type, you can also give this incommunicado treatment to someone you’ve gone out with but no longer want to see. It’s cruel, but painless – for you, that is.
