Okay so I have always been an advocate of text messaging before a phone call, but there comes a time when phone calls get you further and make a much better impression. Last night I was watching an old episode of Tough Love and one of the girls on there was pyschotic with the way she text messaged her significant other. It drove me crazy and turned him completely off. So I have decided to give you the rules when texting your guy friend! Check it out: 

CURB YOUR PATIENCE

When texting a guy I know it is really frustrating when he doesn’t take the situation with as much severity. To win, you need to show some self-restraint and understand that he may not consider texting as important a medium as you do.

TEXT BACK ONLY WHEN HE DOES

 Ties right into the above, you need to let him take the lead here. You need to set the stage for the type of relationship you would like to have with him later. If you are the one constantly texting him and showing need, this will continue into whatever relationship you create with him.

STOP THE IYHS (IN YOUR HEAD SYNDROME)

In your head syndrome, is without a doubt the biggest mental gap that men and women possess.  You think this guy is the one? You just met him a few days ago yet you have wrapped a huge fantasy around him? He rarely texts you back, he has a girlfriend but for some reason you cant see this. IYHS is a deal breaker when texting guys. He will see pretty quickly that you have created a fantasy around him that he will only put up with until he can sleep with you. Then he will disappear. This is one of the failings of texting since your communication is really really brief and you must fill in the gaps of his thinking with yours. PLEASE, Let him prove to you that he is madly in love, don’t ever assume it!

ENJOY
