Texting Etiquette

This post has been on my mind for a long time, and I'm so happy to be finally writing it down. Texting Etiquette. Texting allows for such easy communications, which comes with easy flirting, easy way to hide your emotions, and an easy way be annoying. Annoying. Key word. People can be such an annoyance with their constant, repetitive, one word, texts. So I'm here to lay down the rules:

*note: girls, take notes too. Because we can be just as annoying.

1. Never send a text that only says, "hey" or, "hi".

What am I supposed to say to this? HI? Girls please don't respond to text messages like this. It is most likely a massive text to all the girls in a man's phonebook, or a fowl attempt to start a conversations.

2. The line, "I'll talk to you later", or "Im busy," is not an invitation to start up a new conversation.
Somtimes girls will be bluntly honest with you and say in a matter, "this conversation is over." DO NOT try to start up a new conversations.

3. Sending a text that only contains the letter, "K."
I don't care if I have unlimited texting, I don't want to take the time to open a message in which all it says is, "K" Is it really necessary to send me anything if this is all you are going to say? No. It is not.

4. Sending the same text twice when you get no response to the first one..
This is my biggest pet peeve. PATIENCE! Hell! The girl is either:
A) busy
B) doesn't want to talk to you.
C) Doesn't have her phone.
D) dead.
There is no exception for sending a message twice. I can just hear your thoughts right now, "Well sometimes my phone doesn't send the message." If it didn't, then just wait till she talks to you again, or call her if it is so important. Double texting is not necessary and is definitely a strike 1.

5. Texting a girl every day.
Wow... do you have a life? If a girl is never starting up the conversation then she either not interested or is stingy and won't share the workload of flirting. Give the girl a chance to start the conversation. And if she never does within 2 weeks, give up! She doesn't like you.

6. Smiley faces.
These can be overused. Do not be one of the guys that finds it necessary to smile in every text.

7. Never send a text that has any form of the line, "So what? You don't want to talk to my anymore?"
Please refer back to rule 4 for this one. And no, she probably doesn't.

8. There is no necessity to start up more than 1 conversation within the day. Once again, refer back to rule 4 and 5.

9. Do not send random texts out of nowhere that say things like, "I hate my philosophy test!" Or.. "remember when we kissed to atmosphere?"
hahahahaha. Am I supposed to answer these? I haven't talked to you in 3 months, please don't try to start up a conversation.

10. Do not share your full emotions over texts.
There is a reason we have faces. So we can meet face to face and you can break up with me then. Or tell me how depressed you are. Texts are not meant for emotional loaded sayings.

Well those are the top 10 that I believe are the most important to texting etiquette. Pay close attention to rules 4 and 5. Striking out is very easy in texting, don't ruin your chances by being a retard.

* Men, if a girl doesn't mind when you do this, or SHE does more than 5 of these: she is probably clingy, emotional, and not worth your effort.

** Of course, these rules apply especially to me and.. Im not most girls. :)
Well that's all I got for now. Back to school
