How to become a good texter?

[loveamy8]

How do you make people want to text you? How can you keep an interesting conversation going?

Number one rule to get people to text you more...is to text more than 3 word texts. Saying "lol", "i don't know", "how are you", etc...

...is BORING!

Being brief like that makes me not want to text that person unless it's for business-type affairs only.

Also...answer texts as promptly as you can. People get busy...but getting a response three days later isn't a good look for trying to get people to text you.

Texting is so much easier then talking so you're in luck!

With texting you have time to stop and think how to respond, a good rule of thumb about people in general is:

People love to talk about themselves. Start with very general board questions and then find something that you know more about so you can get into a more intimate conversation.

Hope this helps!

When you say something, say something interesting or fun, or a good question. If you can't, then do not say anything. meaningless chatter with TLA's and "How R U"'s is simply boring. The point of a good text message is that it contains meanings, preferably on two levels. What you say and what you mean, or what you read and what you understand.
