[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people need a guide to texting. I remember back when email was just becoming big people made all sorts of mistakes like putting messages in all caps (yelling) or CCing the whole world with back and forth convos. Here are my texting suggestions for the clueless. Please add yours.

1. Don't assume I want a text from you if we have not discussed taking it to that level.
I personally only text with my husband occasionally and my close friends text if it's urgent. Otherwise I prefer email. I find it strange when people I am not close to text me without asking me if it's OK. Some of them become downright obsessive with the texting until I have to actually request that the person use email. If we are not close I don't want my phone beeping at me because of you.

2. Sign your name to your text if we are not close
I only know phone numbers of my inner circle. If you aren't part of that and you text without putting your name I will wonder who texted me and I will not take the time to phone number match.

This is the first I’ve heard of needing permission to take a friendship to texting level.  I assume you gave them your number, so it’s not beyond belief that they might *gasp* text you.  If you are that particular, don’t give out your number.[/quote]

OP is weird, her first rule is just strange and outdated. Change with the times.[/quote]
