Stop Texting. Just. Stop.
Having your relationship’s BIG CONVERSATIONS through text is like trying to fly a helicopter to the moon: It’s not built for that kind of work. How you say things can give as much, if not more meaning to what you say than the words you use. So stop texting. Just stop.
Also, at its best, dating is all about unexpectedly finding yourself perfectly in the moment with someone amazing. Nothing takes you out of the moment quite like a stupid text. Unless someone’s on their way to heaven or the ER, it can probably wait. Besides, we all know the rule: if one person’s checking their phone, the other person’s going to check theirs, and now you’re those two sitting at a table, alone together and silently staring at your phones.
