Text FlirtingBy Lorraine Harper
After several e-mail exchanges on an Internet website or even after meeting during a drunken night out in a club or bar, text flirting is often the next step made by couples in the UK via mobile phones. Once a rapport has been made, (by some unspoken new rule of dating), sending a text is often the first thing we do. No initial awkward telephone conversations anymore! Texting can be fun and several weeks may pass by without a spoken word being exchanged between the text couple. Nowadays it is almost the standard way of communicating with everyone and especially love interests, in fact most people would not consider phoning when they can send a text. It is important to remember that text words are often very different from written words. When embarking on a text exchange, knowing what the abbreviations mean is vital as it is a whole new language! Texting at the start of a relationship can be fun with exchanges lasting several days and even weeks. One of the reasons for this must be the fact that when we text someone we know they are thinking of us every time a text is received and sent. Whereas a phone call may last only 20 minutes and then be forgotten, a text conversation can last for a week or even more. Text flirting is growing in popularity; giggles from men and women on receiving a text can be heard all over the world. No one else can hear your exchanges and this encourages open and frank chat between texters. Text conversations are often more flirty and risqu than when people meet in the flesh, which can lead to interesting first dates between people meeting via small ads and the internet. Though on meeting the text couple sometimes feel unsure of each other and how to act, texting can lead to a solid base for a good relationship as the couple know each other on a deeper level before meeting which can lead to a first date minus awkwardness experienced in days before mobile texting. In fact sometimes couples can skip the first date altogether as they discover they are not compatible via texting before even meeting and say goodbye without even speaking. Perhaps if they had met they would realise that they were made for each other and some good relationships have never had a chance because of the joy of texting! Another way of using texting is to feel the water after an argument, instead of a tentative call, a text is sent and a reply hoped for to clear the way for a reunion! Text flirting continues throughout a relationship and of course the downside is that if a relationship comes to an end sometimes a Dear John text is used rather than holding a conversation. While this can be frowned upon in some societies and with older people, in our modern world it is a quick and convenient way of dumping someone without having a messy break up conversation. Receiving a Dear John text may seem harsh but it is better than to say goodbye after several months of dating, having one more good date and never hearing from the other person again. The UK text flirt phenomenon is most definitely going to be here for some time to come!!
