No surprises here – Weekday texts are more conversational, and are meant to serve as distractions while at work. Are there “weekend” texts and “weekday” texts? Text you first when you don’t show interest.” 5. If I’m not interested, it’s not a turn-off, but it does become annoying if they continually It shows interest.” Ben agrees, adding that, “It shows that she knows what she wants.

We have a consensus here – everyone answered no. Is it a turnoff if a girl is always the one to text you first? I’m Priscilla But don’t underestimate the guy’s ability to play hard to get: “However, if I know someone is interested in me, and maybe I’m playing hard to get, just saying ‘hey’ after a lull in conversation can let them know that I’m still interested, but still give me the control.” 4. “If you are actively pursuing someone, you better come up with something better than ‘hey’ or you will lose their interest,” he cautions. How often is too often for a girl to text “just to say hey”?Īccording to Braden, 20, “more than once a day is too often,” while Cameron, 23, says texting “just to say hey” is “always fine.” Nate, 30, agrees that the text conversation should be “open-ended to keep the conversation flowing.”īen, 27, wants a more creative conversation starter. The anticipation and re-reading of texts can drive you mad but it’s that pain and agony that makes it so much better when they respond.” 3. When you’re texting someone that you like and they are hard to get, it’s nauseating, exciting, and thrilling, waiting for someone to respond – the fact that it’s new and unknown is exciting. Each individual has a different threshold of “hard to get” that they are willing to tolerate. I think it totally depends on the type of person you are. But being hard to get is definitely a game and I think everyone can agree that the more time and effort you put into someone, the more interested you are. On the other side, Braden, 20, says, “It makes them seem desirable if lots of people want someone, then that person probably has something good about them.”īen, 27, sheds more light on the appeal: “ the old adage of nothing easy is worthwhile.

The frequency and type of text definitely differs between friends, work associates, girlfriends/boyfriends, best friends, crushes, siblings, parents, etc. I think these rules are also reflective of the relationship you have with someone. A lot of these rules are generated by society and pop culture, and dictate how we converse with one another. Nate, 30, says the golden rule is “No emojis if you are over the age of 16.”īen, 27, thinks it goes beyond whether or not you send those monkey emojis: “I definitely think there are unwritten rules to texting. According to Cameron, 23, the golden rules are to mind your grammar and abide by “three strikes you’re out” if he’s not responding: “Always use complete sentences and never send more than three unanswered texts.” Four out of five of the guys said yes, there are rules to texting.
