I will be the first one to admit that I rely on texting quite frequently. For updates, to touch base with people, to confirm a times, places, addresses or phone numbers. It’s even okay for quickie lil’ chats or hello’s. But…and that’s a big BUT…… Text messaging was not meant to carry on full fledged conversations…..let alone relationships!
Examples Of When Text Messaging Is Just Not Right…..
SCENARIO: If You’ve Met a Man/ Woman….and the primary lifeline to your new relationship is Texting?
REALITY: They are not serious about getting to know you…..but don’t want to cut communication all together because they want to keep you as an option
SOLUTION: Walk Away…..they haven’t yet become a part of your life yet…..so nip it in the bud now
SCENARIO: You have a good friend that always reply’s to you by Text rather then just dialing your number to hear your voice
REALITY: They simply can’t be bothered with you….but don’t want to blow you off completely.
SOLUTION: Don’t bother reaching out to them anymore…..let them do the reaching…and if they don’t, their loss
SCENARIO: You need to have a serious discussion with someone and you find yourself trying to hash it out over a series of text messages
REALITY: They know this and are doing whatever they can to avoid getting into a deep conversation about it…..or any discussion at all.
SOLUTION: You’re simply not a priority in their life or on their friendship list…..as they are putting their convenience over your feelings. So look for your own answers in your question…..if you have to ask why someone is trivializing you or your feelings…….the question in itself is all the answer you need.
FURTHER MORE, TEXTING SHOULD NEVER TAKE PLACE…….

*I will excuse the little texting monsters in my life becuase I love you all…….but expect me to call you on it when I see it! ; )
