I think texting rocks!  It means that no matter what you are doing you can be in touch with and connected to your loved ones.  Texting has absolutely deepened our love relationships.  Now your “A” level friends, family and lovers can be in a constant secret dialogue with you, even while you are with other people.  

Now some love advice and etiquette:

~Little steamy or romantic texts can go a long way—less is more because you can pick up where the message ends and begin fantasizing about the other person!

~Breaking up with someone by text is a definite no-no—it is treating the person with a lot of disrespect and usually done out of cowardice and being afraid to come face to face to deliver the heartbreak.

~Revealing something embarrassing in writing is never a good idea—it can be shown to others. 

~Using text to avoid speaking on the phone is sometimes the shy way out—doing so will never get you over your fears.  You have to come face-to-face and have straight truthful talk in order to have a whole relationship with a person.

~Texting during a date is simply bad manners and rude. 

~Mass texting to ask people out on a date is a desperate act and will backfire on you later if people compare notes. 

~In the beginning phase of dating you are testing the waters and you don’t want to overdo it.  When the relationship becomes more serious, you tend to text a lot to send love messages, plan things together and get emotional support or advice.

          Texting messages are the new love notes!  And the new means of emotional connection, support, teaming and planning activities together. It’s high tech–high touch time!

Here’s to more LOVE!
