As a text lover, I do have things that I expect from those I send a text to and things I try to do to keep up a good vibes with texting. I’m that one person that will take almost forever to call you but it gets easier if I could text you. At first, I never really had any dos and don'ts when it came to texting until I got busier. Prior to now, I can spend all my day getting to know a stranger without minding how much they repeat stuffs but not anymore.
Using different social media platforms, there is always room for chatting with friends and on almost all my social handles, I have been opportune to chat with and meet new friends but then I’ve also gotten to realize that the older I get, the less I enjoy a lingering introduction. Don’t come to my DM for the first time and ask me to guess who you are because that might not end well. For goodness sake, you were the one who texted first, so you should be the one telling me who you are!
Okay, let’s say you came to my DM and you did an introduction as a normal person would, but you are always paranoid that I don’t check on you, oops! That’s a big turn off for me. Please, if you know you want me to always check on you try and check on me and that problem will be half solved, easy peasy. I never like it when you try to make me feel like I’m he worst person just because I didn’t text first, you might be right that I don’t check on you but saying it to me might only make me not want to change at all because you don’t even know why I’m not texting first.
Finally, when it comes to texting, don’t be too assuming, if you have a question or a problem about something, always ask me about it than just jump to conclusions as that is a big turn off for me. In as much as I can deal with some of these things sometimes, when I’m having a bad day these are serious offenses.
Just like I have my don’ts, I also have my do’s. One of my Do’s are, always having a response for almost everything, hehe. I enjoy texting more when the person I’m texting just have the right responses for everything, that keeps the conversation going and more interesting. Personally I’d not appreciate it when you always don’t have anything to say or contribute to stuffs, I automatically drift away, hehe.
Another Do’s of texting is stickers (nice and funny ones), hehe. I’m a sticker person and I enjoy it so much when someone uses them when they chat with me. I just automatically vibe with you once you love using stickers to complement your texts. When I see people that don’t appreciate stickers, it’s a turn off for me because I’d rather chat with some one that likes them than you that doesn’t.
So, yeah, these are my texting Do’s and Don’ts, of course there are more but these are the few that I can remember at the moment. Now you know what makes texting fun for me and what makes it tiring for me so it is easier to chat with me better! Now I’m wondering what your texting do’s and don’ts are too, just leave your comments below or a link to your post so I can know yours as well.
