Textual Healing: It feels so right...but maybe it's wrong?!

Q: I have a 23-year-old sister who’s huge on texting, but I still think a guy should call. Am I old-fashioned? – Megan, 34

A: Not necessarily. A man should still call to set up the first 3 or 4 dates, but after you get into a rhythm, it’s okay to let it get textual. Megan, I will say this: If you’re 34 and dating around your age, your guy needs to flex his vocals, but this may not be second nature to Gen Y daters, like your sister. Online dating has much less stigma nowadays, and smart phones make it all too easy to flirt via Blackberry. It can be done, and the fact is, it’s being done.

LOLs may not have you hearting anyone right away, but as long as the message and the mode of communication fits, give the man a chance. If things are serious between you and you’re texty Casanova, an “I <3U” from your iPhone should definitely mean an “I Love You” in person. The cliché is true: It’s the thought that counts – but a good execution is worth plenty of bonus points in the bedroom!
