OMG! Txting has bcame the nu language of luv. Yes, I have better grammar skills than that but here in 2009, text messaging, is the way most people who own a cell phone communicates with everyone else.....who also happens to have a cell phone. Lets face it, Kindergartners are carrying blackberries and even Grandma has her Jitterbug, so it is only natural that texting has became an integral communication tool in our everyday lives. Its ideal for a number of reasons, most notably, its convenience. We can send a quick text to say " I Luv U", ask " whr U @?", greetings such as "sup?" and even give a sideways smile with a " ;-)"

Texting is just like anything else in this world. There are those of us who are amateurs and can barely manage to reply to an incoming text message, and there are those of us that are pros who can text faster than we can speak. The amateur text messenger only uses texting for emergencies because spelling out words with numerous tapping of the number keys is just too confusing and takes way too long.

No one else texts the Amateur because they know that a reply may not ever come, because the Amateur uses their cell for phone calls and phone calls only and probably wont even notice that they received a message. The Pro text messenger, literally speaks by text message. There is nothing that a text cannot handle. Pros can text while sleeping and move their fingers so fast you may not even notice that they just sent a text while looking you right in the eye.

Somewhere in between the amateur and the pro, are the some-timers. Those who would rather just make the phone call and save all the back and forth bantering but someone who doesn't mind the occasional quick chat by text. No matter what category of user you fall in, there are some basic dos and dont's in relationships, especially romantic relationships, that you should be aware of.

-DO send that daily text to your lover saying whatever "loving" phrase or words that you want. Send at least a "hi/hello" and carry on about your normal business. Unless you have something else pressing to say, either wait patiently for a reply or move on to something else.

-DON'T expect a text right back from your lover or friends with the same sentiments. They may be busy or otherwise occupied, moody, or not even aware you have texted them. Be aware that a person will respond if, when and how "they" want to. That is the beauty of text messaging, you can do it at your own convenience and very discreetly.

-DO
