Texting in a relationship could require a book on its own. There are just so many aspects of it that many of us would like to analyze, such as how to tell a guy like us looking at his text messages or why an ex is texting after 6 months.
Sometimes, it's just as simple as the fact that he never texts you first. When you take an initiative to text him, he often doesn't text back in return. Why does he do this? What should you do? Here are some tips for you.
1. Understand that some guys are a lame texter.
Us girls are can be called a specialist when it comes to texting. We know how to make interesting conversation out of texts. We gossip with our girlfriends and have a group chat.
We encourage our friends via text messages. The same thing doesn't apply to some guys. Sometimes they don't know what words they should type with their phone keyboard.
They don't know what emoji to use. They don't know that a simple "ok" can be interpreted as being angry. They don't know that some girls like to over analyze their boyfriend text.
Tips: Just understand him and not put too much emphasize on texting. There are still many other forms of communication. There are ways to keep in touch beside texting.
2. Have a call instead
If your boyfriend takes too much time to reply and you are dying to tell him something important, have a phone call instead. With a phone call, your message will be delivered much more clearly to the recipient. He even prefers it if he's too lazy or too busy to type. A call is more efficient.
3. Do not text too much and too long
Some people have a habit of texting too much and too long. Text messages are meant to be simple. You ought not to write essays on your phone. Learn to make your point in a compact way.
