In between planned dates. Too much? (something light hearted...flirty?)

Thoughts?

I like a contact in between, but yes, light hearted/flirty. You want to keep interest peaked and gives you butterflies.

The only time it is turn off, is if it is all day - or too long - something, sweet, brief and flirty is good.

I don't do text at all. I also don't view text as a valid form of communication. When it is used it should only be as an emergency communication method, i.e. "10 minutes late".

I do not have text on my plan so if you send me a text I will not see it / read it nor reply to it. Unless you have discussed with your match that they do have text and that it is OK to text them you may be sending messages into space and / or making them mad.

Thanks. I'm overthinking - I know this. But isn't that what we do?

Gr8 - we have been texting all along. I just don't want to over do it you know?

What I think is so important with this is that the texts do NOT require a response, so no onus of expectation on the other person. That way it is more of a gift.


So, "sun's up, gonna be an awesome day! Hope yours is great too"

is far better than,

"how is your day going?"

It helps if you know how comfortable he/she is with texting. If you know they are an avid texter, than 3 messages a day is not too much. If you don't know, then keep it to one or two.

Here is an idea ...

Play it by the ear .. If you keep getting nice replies to all of your texts, you are PROBABLY good to keep texting. But, I would initially ask if they are ok with texting and how much ... Some love it some do not ....
