About the Author
I love text messaging and technology and I was probably the first of all my friends to really start using text messaging at its beginning in the US. It’s such a great way to deliver short thoughts to friends and family and we have all become involved in it whether we want to use it or not.
The problem is becoming too involved in it. I had a huge communication problem with my ex girlfriend and it seemed the only way she could really tell me what she wanted was through a text message. That is a big problem for me…I need to look in your eyes as we discuss important issues, feel the passion (if its there). We would go on and on over text, probably spiraling things out of control because it’s just text, no emotions or voice tonality behind it. Simple words and phrases become insults and personal attacks and before you know it… bye bye.
We’ll at least it’s good to know I am not alone. It seems more and more people are having these text disorder issues while dating. I read some good stories that inspired this post here.

I know what you mean man…although it took me a while to get into texting. Now I find myself texting a lot. However, when I go on dates and I get a text message I do one of two things. One is that I completely ignore the text altogether or I open the phone, look at the message and close it without responding. The latter usually gets the girls attention and she asks “who was that” and all you have to say is “a friend” and get back to giving her your attention.
I forgot where I read that, but trust me, it works

Although I am guilty of texting fairly often myself, things are often misconstrued when you read a text. I think that for little things, reminders and asides text messenging is the shit, however, when you have something important to say, face to face is the best approach.
As females, we internalize about internalizing so help us out a little!
