Flirtexting


I am going to accept texting as part of dating in this century. I have to admit, while it is less personal, it is more convenient and by the end of the day, I don't feel like talking on the phone - Outside of work, BFF is practically the only one aside from my fam that I actually hold more than a 2 minute conversation with on the phone. However, one question I keep asking is how do you know when a texting convo is over. I don't want to keep a dead conversation going, but by not responding, I don't want a guy to think I am not interested.

One of the girls that works on my team heard an interview by a 2 girls that wrote a book to help girls texting with guys. See below. And yes, we ordered it today.

Flirtexting: How to Text Your Way to His Heart
Arguing that "boys text; therefore girls need to know how to flirtext," first-time authors (and, presumably, BFFAEs) Goldstein and Baniuszewicz show the next generation of single women how to entertain suitors with the art of text message flirtation. Taking a healthy cut from The Rules ("playing a little hard to get, to get what you want"), the duo schools readers on timing replies, canceling dates and, perhaps most importantly, how to avoid "mis-texting." Dissecting every possible text-based interaction (often with multiple examples), Goldstein and Baniuszewicz's overwrought guidebook will be received, depending on one's perspective, as either indispensable or hopelessly immature.

You can read the first few pages on Amazon or visit their website.
