10 Texting Rules for Dating Singles – Texting Guidelines and Dating Etiquette

I believe the growing preference for texting has a lot to do with its impersonal nature. It’s much easier to launch a new relationship by exchanging texts than it is to talk. It’s also very easy to say and do things over a screen that one would never have the nerve to do face to face (or say ear to ear). That would make things easier I suppose, but it also creates new problems. A large part of communication is non-verbal.

Some use a litany of excuses to justify their chronic tardiness, but the worse offenders are not only comfortable with being consistently late, but expect you to be accepting of their impunctuality as well. Not only is their behavior selfish, it's also disrespectful. People who are always late rob us of the most precious and valuable commodity that we own: our time.
