Before You Text Your Man, Read This!

To text or not to text. That is the (very important) question.

The informal nature of texting can spell DANGER in a new relationship. Too many texts, a misconstrued text, or an over-eager text can definitely send the wrong message to your guy.

Text No-No #1
You went out with a guy and thought it went great. The conversation was electric, the restaurant was delicious, and the end of night adieu wasn’t awkward at all. After three days of no communication you want to send the “Y hvnt U calld” text. Don’t. If the guy wants to call he will. If you have to chase him down and scold him, he’s not worth your time.

Text No-No #2
Staying in touch with your new guy is one thing, sending him a play-by-play of your life, or asking him to do the same, is trouble. Instead of sending the “OMG what R U doing now” text, send him one that shows you care, or necessitates an actual phone call, but doesn’t require an immediate response. We like, “Drinks? Call me later.”

Text No-No #3
Last, but definitely not least, don’t send a boozy text. “I’m wasted. My place.” only implies one thing. Making yourself too available can cause him to lose interest in pursuing you. If you’d like to have a relationship with this guy outside the bedroom, don’t drink and dial.
