Text messaging as… courtship? While my first reaction was, “Crazy!”, I then thought back to 1999 and the frequent emailing and IMing between me and Le Spouse (before he was Le Spouse, of course) as we were getting to know each other. It’s not so different…
P.S. The title of this post is an inside joke that resulted from hitting send too hastily all those years ago.
I have an old friend who communicates solely to me via text messaging. I know more about how his day is going than anyone else. Constant communication. I believe this is possible…..it’s odd that it’s because of their cultural beliefs blocking communication but…I believe it happens to even those outside of India.
I, for one, like text messaging. And I’ve become quite adept at doing it. I can glance at my phone during a meeting, then hold it under the table and text without even looking. But I’ve since stopped doing that, not because me boss caught me, but because, according to a co-worker, it looked like I was … um … well, let’s just say I held my phone between my legs and my arms moved ever so slightly.
