text messages: convenience or cop-out?



i'm all for technology and modern conveniences, but sometimes i wonder if we lose a lot of personal contact and responsibility. was it really so terrible to actually have to call someone when you wanted to talk to them or hang out with them? now we choose which text messages we want to respond to and when. and let's face it guys, you didn't "not get" our text message, so have the decency to respond. responding to a text message is not making a commitment, it is simply being polite!

text messages are great when you're in a loud place, or somewhere where you can't talk, or when you need to relay a quick message. but as a go-to form of communication, especially within a potential relationship, i say it's a cop out. if you are interested in someone, show it! pick up the phone and CALL them. it really doesn't take that much longer, in fact you press less buttons... really... give it a try.

and don't even get me started on "booty-texts." i don't care how many drinks you've had or what dirty thing you want to do to me, if you send it in a text message, i will call you out on it... and i will not be coming over to find out!! so have a fun night of typing text messages, because that is the only action you will be getting that night.
