We know you agree with us when we say texting is the worst part of dating. The textpectation after initiating a conversation, awkward autocorrections, and those dreaded “Read” receipts. What kind of devil invented those?! Texting feels especially vital during the first few weeks of dating a guy. Unless you’re lucky enough to share a class with him three times a week or get stuck on the same shift at work, this is your main source of communication. Don’t worry though – just because you don’t see each other face-to-face often doesn’t mean you won’t screw this up somehow. Just follow these steps to ensure you’ll never score a second date, and possibly have this guy double locking his door at night.
