There was a clear divide here. Two out of three of the 20 – 23 year olds said there is nothing appealing about someone being “hard to get.” David, 20, clarifies, “It makes them seem conceited and uninterested.” Nate, 30, weighs in with the younger crowd on this one, stating that “nothing” is appealing about a girl who is “hard to get.” He advocates...
According to Braden, 20, “more than once a day is too often,” while Cameron, 23, says texting “just to say hey” is “always fine.” Nate, 30, agrees that the text conversation should be “open-ended to keep the conversation flowing.” Ben, 27, wants a more creative conversation starter. “If you are actively pursuing someone, you better come up with som...
We have a consensus here – everyone answered no. Nate, 30, explains, “It’s 2016; Chivalry isn’t dead, but her texting first is kind of a turn-on, actually. It shows interest.” Ben agrees, adding that, “It shows that she knows what she wants. If I’m not interested, it’s not a turn-off, but it does become annoying if they continually text you first w...
No surprises here – Weekday texts are more conversational, and are meant to serve as distractions while at work. They are also sober texts (usually). Weekend texts tend to get more flirtatious, and the senders are more likely to have a drink in the other hand (you don’t say). Ben, 27, cautions the tipsy texters: “Once you start drinking, you start ...
Maybe the “bad texter” isn’t always a myth. Some guys generally don’t like texting as a whole. David, 20, dislikes communicating through texts “because of the inability to convey emotions properly through words.” Nate, 30, would also opt out: “I am more of a phone caller, [it] shows more intimacy.” Unfortunately, the fear that the guy’s inbox is fu...
I’ll let the guys speak for themselves here. David: I dislike all texts equally. Braden: hey (: Nate: “pizza and hockey game?” Ben: I think that depends on the girl; for example, I loved getting “hey there stranger” from my first serious girlfriend who I took to prom. The words didn’t necessarily mean anything, but between us it was an inside joke ...
For questioning readers, I’ll save you the Google search: “Ghosting” is when someone you’re “dating” or “talking to” or “seeing” (#Dating in 2016 problems) ends the “relationship” by ending all communication without explanation or warning. Interestingly, the 20 – 23 year olds weren’t as familiar with the term. David, however, appears well-versed in...
Most of the panelists said yes, by accident – or yes, to not come off as eager. Nate, however, knows better than to wait too long to reply to your text: “You won’t find yourself anywhere but the doghouse if you don’t text back within a few hours.” The takeaway? To summarize the findings, here is the most important graph. Send the text. Keep it thou...

- Do reply promptly. When you receive a text, try to respond in a prompt fashion. “There is a certain etiquette to being timely with texting and an expectation that the replies will come as soon as possible,” says Post Senning.
- Don’t text during inappropriate moments. We’ve all witnessed it — hard-core texters typing messages in movie theatres, during plays, funerals, and religious services.
- Do keep texts short. “Texts are a shorter medium of communication, a little bit like an answering machine message,” says Post Senning. “If it gets too long, the text becomes a burden to the person on the receiving end.”
- Don’t text sensitive news. It’s not fun (or polite) to be told via text that your husband wants a divorce. Just ask Katy Perry. In 2011, the singer’s then-husband Russell Brand chose the medium to dissolve their marriage.
