If you send a boy a text, expect a response to go with it.
Come on girls, admit it, we are all guilty of sending that stereotypical “Hey :)” text. It is just harmless fun, until we do not get a text back. Texting, in a girl’s mind, is one of the best ways to flirt and get to know a guy, because we can easily avoid any awkwardness -- no matter how many times you try to do the cute winking face, in person, you still end up looking like you are in pain.
The problem with technology, these days, is that interpersonal communication is significantly less common than it used to be and, as a result, young people choose to utilize other forms of communication like Facebook, Twitter, Tinder and, most of all, texting. Texting boys is definitely something I
enjoy, and I do not intend to give it up cold turkey, but there are some
important things to consider when starting a “flirtationship” over text.
First of all, boys are not the most expressive individuals. We all know a few of those dudes who cannot hold a conversation to save their life, so all they
do is utter one syllable responses. It is even more disappointing to a girl when she
encounters it over text. Some girls look
for that in a potential boyfriend, because a texting relationship is just as
important to them as a face-to-face relationship. It is
important to girls that the guy shows a significant amount of interest over
text, because we feel that it translates into actual life, although it most likely does not.
On the other hand, some guys are a little too flirty,
or even creepy, over text so girls are less interested because they do not want
to be crept on when the guy actually just wants to show how much he cares.
Another huge disadvantage of texting boys is, for the most part, they suck when responding to texts on time. If you read my article about the things boys
do that not so secretly make me angry, you already know that I dislike when boys
ignore text messages. If I send a text to a boy, especially a boy who claims he likes me, I
think it is very important that I hear back from him. I understand that boys are busy and they
like to nap, eat, breathe and what not, but it does not take that
long to send a text saying, “Hey, what’s up?”
Girls read into things much differently and often
make up these crazy stories about what the guy they have their eye on is
doing. Most of the scenarios have
something to do with other girls, sleeping or death because all of those make
sense, right?
Girls put a lot of pressure on
boys to be perfect, which is at times ridiculous. But no matter what, when a girl sends a guy a text, she expects a response.
