TEXT Pre -DATING: When you engage in text message conversations with someone you have yet to go on a date with. Text pre-dating occurs usually after exchanging numbers. The ultimate goal is to get a face to face date.
Quite often in the early development stages of a relationship potential partners have to partake in 'text pre-dating'. When partaking in this routine it is important to understand that Text dating is usually about what isn't being written. Here are some other variables that effect how someone interprets a text message.
Time in between texts: The less time in between texts, the less that person is doing at the moment. If you receive a text message immediately after sending it, you also read that the person is not doing anything, and very invested in your current conversation. Giving you all your attention.
Time of day text is sent: Before lunch, is wierd. After 10pm is a booty text. During the day, usually business, or flirts.
Amount of questions asked in the text: too many questions should just be a phone call. Text messages just be short, cute and sweet...questions appear like you are trying to keep the conversation going.
Spelling: Using bad spelling is okay, but if it's too 'text language' you can come across as immature, or a text slut (someone who is always texting everyone)
Length of text: too long is sketchy. Too short is dismissive.
emoticons: too many is nervous or fake. Best to limit yourself to a wink or a smiley face.
