5 texting habits you shouldn't hide during the talking stage

Communication, especially via texting during the talking stage is not the easiest. Juggling your heart and wondering if the other person likes you or not can throw you off your game, so to speak. The uncertainty, sensitivity, and butterflies. Luckily, we have the information you need to develop healthy texting habits.

Now, you will read and hear information telling you what to avoid in order for this person to like you back and want to be with you. Things like playing it cool and waiting for them to come to you, not getting caught up in excitement and feelings.

Take a break from that advice. Use these tips to help you text the person you're talking to with ease.

If you are that kind of personality, why not. They should know this about you at this stage anyway. Obsessive texting can be from nervous energy too and as the relationship progresses, it gets easier as communication gets better. If the other person is put off by this and is not willing to talk about it, good riddance.

Texting obsessively doesn't mean you don't have anything going on in your life. In fact, the more you fight it, the more it takes over your thoughts. Do it and get on with your day. It certainly doesn't make you look desperate. It is not catastrophic.

Don't hide behind the screen for too long. If you want to have more productive texting habits, text to plan for face-to-face meetings. In-person interactions are better than texting when getting to know someone. Don't spend all your texting time talking about mundane, real and imagined things.

Focus on being honest in your texts. That way they may or may not find you smart, funny, and other good qualities you want them to see in you. But at least you'll be true to yourself and to them. The less personality you have to hide to be likeable, the better for you and the budding connection.

Dry humour, dark humour, and sarcastic humour can be hard to communicate with people you're familiar with, let alone someone who is not familiar with you. They are better delivered in person perhaps with body gestures to convey them. However, hope is not lost.

If you want to convey humour in texting during the talking stage, use emojis here and there, and GIFs.

This is the only one we all agree that you should hide. It is an absolute no-go zone. So many things can go wrong with sexting among couples, and they can be worse when you are not sure who you are to someone.

Even though you have five stars for your sexting game, leave it out of the talking stage.
