Flirt Texting. Really?

These two chicks recently wrote a book called, Flirtexting, and it's driving me crazy. First, I can't believe that there is enough information to actually write a book on this topic, but second--WE CAN'T GIVE IN TO ROMANCE BEGINING OVER TEXT MESSAGES! 

Listen ladies, I've been struggling with this concept myself. Guys really do like to text message way more than picking up the phone, so there's definitely a part of me that thinks, "Maybe I should give in," but at the same time, I really don't think that's any excuse. It's plain and simple, if a guy likes you, he will call you, no matter how much he hates the thought of picking up the phone.

Unfortunately, most guys think it's okay to send you a text message before they actually call you. Put a stop to it. It's only okay if the message says something along the lines of, "It was great to meet you and I'll call you soon to see when we can hang."

If a guy wants to actually ask you out, he must call you. Otherwise it says to me that he isn't interested enough to make that effort. He's completely setting the tone of what a potential relationship with him could be--first he only text messages, then he only takes you on cheesy dates and only gets in touch when he wants to hit it, then it turns out that he's a lazy lover, and so on.

I also realize that even SOME cool guys (and I really mean only some) think it's now okay to ask a girl out over text. If you decide to give him a chance, just respond with, "I'll consider it if you give me a call to ask."

Sounds bitchy, I know...but if he likes you enough, he'll call. Then you can just joke with him about trying to ask you out over text. There's nothing wrong with calling him out. Trust me. Set the tone now ladies...or forever hold your peace.

Anyway, check out the video below of the girls talking about flirting over text message. Again--it's okay to text message each other once the relationship is established, but definitely not to get it started.
