The relatively new technology called Textin' is destroying the way we effectively communicate with one another. Call me crazy but whatever happened to just calling some body and hearing their voice? Now don't get me wrong. I'm a big advocate for new technology but textin' is a cold and impersonal way of communicating. It only has a few positives: exclusivity, no awkward pauses, and quick messaging. Textin' is a very inefficient way of trying to get to know someone because there are no emotions involved, no sounds, apart from the click-clack sounds on a keypad, followed by an annoying ringtone. And worst of all, there is nothing intimate about it. And yes I know that more and more people are textin', but that does not mean that it's necessarily a good thing. These Text-a-holics are becoming a generation of mindless drones that are slowly losing the most basic and precious form of human interaction, speech! When it comes to dating, men and women need to call, hear, and speak to each other in order to establish a real personal connection.
Think about it, your intuition about a person is much clearer when you finally hear their voice over the phone for the first time. You also get to gauge their personality, their emotions, as well as their intellect much closely. Textin' should not be used as a dating tool because it does nothing to improve it. It keeps you more distant and disconnected from the person that you're trying to hook up with. Call the person that you're interested in, speak to them, hear how you both react to each others voices, setup a date together, and meet each other in person. Besides, if a person would rather text you than call you, he or she is either already in a relationship, a social outcast, very timid, or they're just plain flakey and secretive. And I don't think that's the kind of person you would want in your life. Now do yourself a favor! Stop textin' and start CALLING!
