Calling and texting are two very different types of communication. Find out how to choose between calling and texting someone you are dating after the jump!
Establish a pattern for texting.
Call at certain times and text at other times. If you want to check on your boo quickly, without a drawn out conversation, text them. Texting in a relationship is the equivalent of a brief hello, or a “what are you up to?”. Don’t text important stuff about your life or relationship, save those for face to face encounters.
Establish a pattern for phone conversations.
Don’t spend too much time on the phone. Call to lock in plans or maybe when you two want to have longer conversations for late night boo-loving or when you have spent time apart. A day does not qualify as a long time apart. Call if it’s been a few days or so. Give yourselves time to develop new things to chat about!
Know when to text and when to call.
Don’t call when you have nothing to say. No one breathes on the phones anymore! If you are worried a conversation could end in awkward silence and pauses, send a text instead.
Be confident when you text and call.
Choose the method of communication that always makes you seem more confident. Hiding behind texts or begging for approval on the phone are both ways of seeming insecure. Use a combination of texting and calling in order to seem confident. Switch it up if you want to keep it fresh!
Never send a text or call when you are feeling depressed or clingy.
The other person will feel that you are depressed or needy. Venting is one thing, but know when to stop yourself. You don’t want to be that dark cloud that rains on another person’s parade. Try to remain positive especially in the beginning of a budding relationship.
