7 Tips on the Art of Texting While Dating
Texting plays the most integral part of dating today. With all the chat applications being a part of life, ‘flirtexting’, as it is now known, has become a primary need while dating. Listed below are some tips on the art of texting. Read on.
1. Wait for the first text
Wait to reply if you have received your first text from him. Do not immediately reply to him, this will make you look desperate. Wait for five minutes, then respond to his text in a casual way. Especially, if this is after your first meeting, then it is a must to wait.
2. Initiate texting
Initiate texting by writing something relevant. Saying a ‘hey’ or ‘hello’ would not do the trick. Write something like “what are you doing, are you getting bored like me”. This can help to initiate the conversation. If there is a positive reply, then simply continue with your chat.
3. Use smileys
Use as many smileys as you want to make your conversation interesting. Do not forget to use the blush smiley to make him feel that you are enjoying his text conversation. Do not overuse emoticons in every sentence that you write. This would make the conversation look over the top.
4. Do not use slang
Use of slang language with your friend is alright, but don’t use it with your date. If he is not aware of slang or abbreviations, then it might be embarrassing for him. Use short forms which he can understand. This would make the text conversation interesting.
