Hey guys a thought popped into my head tonight.
It obviously regards texting and social interaction (specifically when dating or dealing with relationships). Now, I am 19, so this is clearly something that my generation is immersed in, but I understand not everyone likes this fad or uses it at all. But, for my generation at least and a lot of people anymore, texting is commonplace. I personally prefer calling, as it's just quicker and leads to less miscommunication IMO. However, I understand there are times when texting is more apropos.
How do you think this has affected the way this has changed how we do things regarding dating? I met this really cool girl, and don't want to annoy her by contacting her TOO much. I know a lot of guys use a 3 day rule when calling women. I can't decide if this is brilliant or idiocy. It's "if she likes you she'll want to hear from you" vs. "Don't be clingy and try to communicate too much." I do want to get to know her, but I don't want to seem too eager, and I really HATE how text messaging someone constantly can leave you with nothing to say to them when you're actually face to face. I hope the human race doesn't become socially retarded because of that.
Anyway, already asked her out and she said yes, so that is a good deal. I was just curious what the rest of you thought about this.
