The collegiette’s ultimate guide to texting etiquette when trying to get that cute boy from math class; yes, it is most definitely a talent every girl needs to know.
It’s okay if…
1. You have a timely concern
This is a given, don’t feel bad if it includes and double (or triple, or quadruple…) text!
2. You’re mad about something and want to bring it up
Avoiding the situation and being passive aggressive is immature. If you have a problem, let him know.
3. You just got in a fight and you need to apologize
Be the bigger person and apologize, especially if you really are wrong.
4. You’re dating
Blow his phone up if you feel the need to! He signed up for the good, the bad, and the crazy; no shame in texting him a million times.
It’s NOT okay if…
1. You’re drunk
Nothing good comes from drunk texts. If you really can’t help it, have someone hold your phone or delete his number for the night.
2. You just hooked up
Let him sweat it out! If he cares he’ll definitely be hitting you up soon.
3. You just got in a fight and you’re right
Stand your ground! If you just put in the effort to fight, don’t give in and text him first.
4. You caught him playing games
You don’t deserve that. If you see him blatantly being sketchy, cut him off and let him wonder where you went. Feel free to post a snap story or two of you having tons of fun to really get his mind racing.
5. You’re playing hard to get
If you choose this route, you have to stick to it 100%; no cheating. No matter how much you want to text him, don’t! Let him come to you.
6. He just opened your snap 30 seconds ago
Opens your snap but doesn’t text you? We all know how much this one sucks, but stop waiting for him to open it so you know he’s on his phone. If he wanted to text you, he will; don’t be that sketch that texts him the second you know he’s on his phone.
7. You texted him “hey” yesterday and he didn’t answer
Don’t be THAT girl. Enough said.
