  • Question
    What if the person seems uninterested in texting you altogether and you seem to be the only person keeping the conversation going?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Have you considered the possibility that means he or she most probably doesn't like texting? If that is the case, then the fact they even text you is a good sign. On the other hand, if this person isn't keeping in touch with you in any way whatsoever, then they may just not be interested in connecting with you.

    Patience, my friend. They may not be texting back immediately because they don't want to text, or because they're busy doing other things. Not everyone has at phone at hand all the time.

    Get to know them! Ask them about what they like doing in their free time or about their hobbies and interests. If you want, you can start by saying something like, "Hey! Is this Becky? Just making sure I got the right number!"
  • Question
    How can I express my emotion if I haven't got emoticons?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You can use :) for a smile, :( for a frown, ;) for a wink and ;( for a cry. These are basic text usages that everyone can do using a keyboard and that everyone understands in the texting and email contexts. You can also use the exclamation mark and the question mark to enhance your statements, along with good quality emotive words from the English language.

    You could talk about interests. Or you could be random and ask, for example, "Should we swap phones?" Another thing you could talk about is the past (good things, or bad if you wanted) like "Do you remember that time when we...".

  • Question
    How do I know whether I am boring someone while texting?

    Usually you will know if they are bored if their responses are becoming shorter (one word answers), they stop asking you questions/for your opinion, or if they take a long time to respond to you.
  • Question
    How do I find out if the person likes texting or not?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Ask them. You'll look flimsy if you try to make perceptive judgements about them and fail in the end. The only way to know for sure is if you hear what they have to say.

    What do I do if someone is giving me one-word responses when I know the person isn't busy?
    Community Answer

    It probably means the person isn't interested. Give the person some time; if things continue this way, then that person probably isn’t interested in connecting with you (or doesn’t like communicating through text).

  • Question
    How do I engage someone in conversation if they respond with vague, short texts?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You don't, as it sounds like they are not interested in speaking with you. This person is not worth your time and effort. If you really want to, try and get to know their friends, and eventually they'll accept you and be more interested to talk to you.
  • Question
    How do I make the conversation lively with my boyfriend?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    This is a rather vague question, but you could ask your boyfriend this question. You should absolutely feel comfortable asking him this. Be sure to add detail if he asks what you mean by, "lively." If every conversation is dead, then maybe the relationship is, too, but we all get into slumps.

  • Question
    What should I do if I love someone, but I'm too nervous to talk to them in person? I am comfortable texting.
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you really love this person, you will step out of your comfort zone and just talk to them. Not everything in life is going to be easy, but you should make an effort to get to know this person by talking face to face. Just start talking to them the way you would over text. Ask them how their day is going and see where the conversation goes from there. It will get easier the more you do it.

  • Question
    How do I talk to someone I've never met and find interesting topics to talk about via text?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Ask them about their hobbies, interests, etc. If that doesn’t seem interesting enough, then mention some plans you have and some of your interests to see if you can connect that way. Or, if you really want to connect, then invite them to the movies or something that has to do with their interests so they can tell you care.
  • Question
    How can I become friends with someone over text if I will never see them in person?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If it is impossible to meet call/FaceTime so you can know what they sound like and get to know them in a more meaningful way. Then when you go to text them, talk about stuff you have in common and ask questions. When asking questions instead of saying stuff like “Do you like your job?” try saying “How was work today? I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to be a (their job)!” You won’t bond quite as well as someone you know personally but you still could be friends!
  • Question
    Whenever I text someone, it starts out fine but as the conversation moves along I start to panic a little and I overthink everything and don't know what to say. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    As you mentioned you are overthinking this conversation. Instead of thinking about the outcome just say what’s on your mind about the topic (as long as it’s not offensive). If you are uncomfortable with the topic say so and change the conversation. Just relax and share what’s comfortable with you!
