Just about everyone these days has a cell phone to stay connected with family and friends out side the home. Text messaging has allowed the progress of communication to be taken to a new level. When you include the art of texting to a relationship factor, real face to face conversation has taken a back seat. Relationships though they still communicate have fallen prey to the jumbled text each receive from one another and often sitting just feet from each other in the same room or restaurant.

THE DON'TS // NEVER THINK YOUR CELL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR DATE:

1) Men and women both are guilty of this fact of texting in front of the other.
