- Don’t text and drive. It’s that simple, according to the Post Institute. Don’t do it. Personal safety always comes first, and staying off your handheld while driving is paramount.
- Don’t put others in the situation of texting and driving. Messaging somebody who is driving is one of the things you should never do over text. If somebody replies “driving,” stop texting.
- Be brief. Although texting seems to be taking the place of some other forms of communication, it really can’t. Some messages are simply too long to convey via text.
- Be responsive. Speaking of responding, Fortune magazine points out that texting can be a source of “acute” anxiety. After hitting send, the sender experiences anxiety waiting for a response, and the recipient experiences pressure to respond within a set period of time or risk breaching texting etiquette (just ask a teenager).

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...

- Didn’t get a reply right away? It’s okay. Chill out. Don’t keep texting until they respond. They’re probably busy. And if they’re not, maybe they just don’t feel like texting.
- Always respond. That being said, don’t blow anyone off. Respond to someone’s text in a kind and reasonably-timed manner. (Unless the person is a stalker, in which case, please do not respond.
- Keep the other person’s schedule in mind. Of course, you generally shouldn’t text a person at 4 in the morning unless it’s your BFF, and even then, your BFF may want to kill you.
- Don’t text a novel… This is one that I personally break all the time, but it just makes sense: if it’s taking you more than thirty seconds to text it, you probably just want to take care of it over the phone.
Jan 15, 2020 · Think before you text. Before you send a text, ask yourself if the message is better relayed through a text, an email, a phone call or (gasp!) a live conversation. Texts are great for sending and receiving timely messages, but don’t use the technology if a better or more personal mode of communication would better serve you and your recipient.

Exactly. We should normalize that the first time you meet IRL is the zeroth date, not the first date. Even if you had a phone call or a video chat before, there’s just a huge gulf of physical information missing until you breathe the same air.
