Relationships and Text Messaging
Today another reporter sent out a request looking for people who use text messaging to flirt with someone who they are romantically interested in; to ask someone out on a date via text message; to accept a marriage proposal via text message (are they still married?); to break up with someone via text message.

Now, I know friends who were dumped over the phone and heard that others had it happen in a voicemail, which I think is pretty low, but a text message? That's just spineless.

Although, when I was living in London I was asked out on a date via a text message, which I thought was pretty cute, and have sent flirty messages to people too. Have you experienced any of the reporters criteria? Come on, dish!

I wrote a similar post before called TXT Messaging the New Love Letter.

PS: The new movie Prime with Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep filmed on my block at the begining of the year.

Aw, I'm sure poetry and flowers will go a much longer way than a text message :) I know I'd rather get those.

Hey Tara, I've got a story.

One time I raped this girl through a text message.

Have a great weekend,

I actually text more than I talk to people. I have definitely sent flirty texts to a guy I'm interested in, I have also been known to ask guys out over text. It's just a muich safer way to communicate with someone you're not sure likes you or wants to go out with you. Somehow if they don't answer the rejection is much less painful. Texting is just more casual and you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing or the conversation going on for hours. It's short, sweet and to the point. On the other hand breaking up with someone over a text message is definitely really low! Tara, Hopefully we'll talk soon!
