I was watching a talk show today and they were asking about whether it is or isn't appropriate to text when you start seeing someone. I think some texting is ok. I am not much on just talking on the phone. And those quiet moments at times can be awkward. Also sometimes I am chicken on asking questions so I think it can be nice to just ask each other little things that we might be curious about. Not like serious long conversations mind you , maybe like favorite color etc. I also think that texting to just be talking is a bit of a waste of time. The ones like sitting by pool. Just seen a man jump over the moon. LOL. What do you think about texting when you are dating?

Yes i fully agree. While you don’t know about the next person enough. The texting is better option. You could text to get the attention of the person gradually, and if she or he is comfortable you could say any thing in your heart. I think this is a better approach may be it is a bit slower.

I have been talking to friends of mine at work about this and they seem to mostly have the same opinion as you do. It is a kind of feel them out approach.

Texting can be a great way to flirt. After being married to my husband for almost ten years I still send him flirty text messages. It's just a bit of fun and adds a bit of happiness to his day. I think using it as an informal way of getting to know someone is a good thing too because those silences can be awkward at first.

Yes I love the flirting part of texting. I have been married 2yrs in april. Sometimes i will send him a bit of a sexy pic or text to give him a smile. I think that part of texting helps to keep a bit of spice in the realtionship.
