4 Ways Text Messaging Changed Dating

By posted

text messages revolutionized dating
Tiger's cheating texts made us wonder: how on earth did we flirt before text messaging?

3.) It Has Made The Booty Call Oh So Easy: This is one of the best and worst things about texting. Websites like textsfromlastnight.com immortalize alcohol-induced sweet nothings, and if you happen to be the object of someone's 2a.m. poetry (or a person who becomes very interested in your phone once your BAC reaches a certain level) then you likely have mixed feelings about an early morning ping. But if you hit a sweet spot, where you truly are two stumbling ships an hour before sunrise, then that text sure does help. One Night Stand Dos And Don'ts

4.) Bad Syntax Is A Turn Off: We'll admit. We read some of the Tiger Woods text transcripts (our procrastination is an artform) and were appalled by the level of poor grammar and childish acronyms from a grown man. Granted, it's a text not a college essay, but still. Nothing is a bigger buzz kill then a future date who can't seem to figure out a cooler response then LOL or (even worse) LMFAO. Uh. Yeah. To that we say, CU L8TER.
