Don’t underestimate the power of a well-crafted text message. When you are in the earliest stages of your relationship, there isn’t going to be any shortage of flirting between you and your partner. And it’s that flirtation that is going to entice the two of you to want to get closer together in your relationship. You communicate a lot with each other and you make an effort to really get to know one another. And in this modern age, that means utilizing all tools and platforms at your disposal. You are going to want to make sure that you are pulling out all the stops and that you have all bases covered.
That’s why you should never underestimate the value of text messaging with your partner. Because of mobile phones, you are now afforded the opportunity to flirt with and get closer to your partner even when you’re not necessarily within the same space. But as the cliché says, with great power comes great responsibility. You want to make sure that you are doing it right if you want to maximize the effects. The manner in which you and your partner text with one another can be very telling of what your relationship is like; and it can have huge implications on how your relationship is going to turn out.
You are going to be able to gauge the depth of your emotional connection with one another based on how you text. So, if you’re just starting to get to know a guy, you need to make sure that your texting game is on point. You don’t want to miss out on a chance to have a really nice relationship with a great guy just because you commit a few texting mistakes. Here are some important tips and reminders that you really need to keep in mind if you want your texting game to be on point.
1. Keep things as light and as playful as can be.
Always make sure to keep things light and playful in your relationship. If you take your relationship too seriously, then you might end up putting too much pressure on the two of you. The lighter your relationship is, the more room there will be for joy and happiness.
2. Do’s:
Always be genuine in how you text him. Always try to make it your own. Don’t try to be anyone else when you’re communicating with him. Be as genuine and as real as possible. Show him that you are really able to be your true self with him.
3. Don’ts:
Don’t try too hard with your text messages. It’s always going to be clear when you’re trying to overcompensate. And it’s really going to turn him off when you’re being fake and unnatural. Don’t be too rigid. Be flexible and easygoing. Keep things as light and as playful as possible.
4. Let him know that you consistently have him in mind.
But you also need to know your limits. It’s important that you are able to let him know that he is a priority in your life; but you also have to make it clear that he isn’t the only thing that you’re thinking about. You need to have an independent life of your own without him.
5. Do’s:
Be sincere when you tell him that you’re thinking about him. Let him know just how much he means to you. Let him know that he really occupies a significant portion of your mind; and that you’re never going to forget about him.
6. Don’ts:
But don’t overdo it. Don’t make it seem like you are so desperately in love with him to the point that you don’t think about other things anymore. You don’t want to be putting too much pressure on him and on your relationship by making it seem that you don’t really have any other thing going on in your life.
7. Send him a lot of pictures, memes, emojis, and videos.
Remember that text messaging doesn’t mean that you have to limit yourself to texts in your messages. You can always make the conversation more interesting and more interactive by incorporating pictures, videos, GIFs, and memes into your discussions. It’s also a part of keeping things light and making sure that you have fun with one another when you’re texting.
8. Do’s:
Show him that you can be fun and playful. Show him that you can be creative and that he’s never going to have to worry about getting bored whenever he’s with you. Show him that you’re the kind of girl he can always count on to bring a smile to his face whenever he needs it.
9. Don’ts:
Don’t make it seem like you are incapable of depth. These pictures and memes are best done in moderation. You can’t be overdoing it either. Don’t lead him to believe that you can’t make good conversation with the use of your words.
