How to be better at texting people? - 1
All of my friends are always talking about their group texts and a lot of them text people all the time every night. I have an iphone, but I never have a reason to text anyone, boy or girl. I don't know how to start a conversation over text, and I have nothing to say. My friends never seem to have this problem. Whenever someone texts we talk for a few minutes, but then the conversation just sort of stops, and it never starts up again.
I'm really bad a group texts because I try to hard, and end up saying to much in them and it sounds awkward. It's not that I say something awkward, I just don;t know how to keep up a convo over text.
I do not have this problem in real life at all.
What are reason to text people? How do I keep a conversation going? How do I text boys that I like but don't know super well yet?
Thank you.
Added (1). I know there are probably some master-texters out there, so please, i need your help.
People tell me not to use as much punctuation and capitalization. Like instead of saying "Oh haha, that's cool." you say: "oh haha thats cool" and you wait like five minutes before you text someone back unless you're best friends and texting one on one because otherwise you come off as desperate and your friend would probably get annoyed if you waited for so long lol.
If you want to keep a conversation going just keep asking questions like "what are you doing tonight?" or "do you have ms.janes as a math teacher?" even if you don't care. And if anyone disses someone to you on text be like "oh poor them" or "oh that's cool" because it might get back to them.
Also… If you're texting a boy be sure to try to seem normal if you're not already and use happy faces, if they take 10 minutes to text you back you take 13 and never lie. Ask questions and just joke around and try to keep the conversation going. Don't tell them stories about your friends, just say something like "oh did you see this movie last week? No? Oh well it sucked lol I thought the first movie was better than that. Not his best work."
Never try too hard try too less and people will come crawling after you.act like you couldn't care less, take like 8 minutes to reply, etc.
Hope I helped… I'm actually somewhat of a master now after my sister taught me some stuff (and she's popular so she really knows what she's doing lol)
- Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
- Why do people think that childfree people are immature and selfish? Marriage isn't living outside of yourself for another person? What about taking care of extended family?
- Why do iphone user hate texting people with androids? I don't understand why its a problem. How will you know if they other person has an android anyways and why does it matter?
- Why can't the people I'm texting you, see my emoji emoticons? Okay so, I text both my friends. And they have IPhones. One has an IPhone 4, and the other has a IPhone 5. And I have an IPod touch, why can't they see my emoji emoticons! They said all they see is "*", why is this? Can someone help?!
