You men are always complaining that you don’t know what we ladies want or expect from you. Whine no more, gentlemen. I’m going to give you a frickin’ road map here:
Chapter One: On Texting …
A text is acceptable for first contact. Small talk (or small text) is ok to get to know one another a little better. You can text a request for a date. However, you get major kudos if you have the cojones to actually call us up and ask us out. Always in advance. A text at 3pm the day of still doesn’t work.
If we give you our numbers, a “nice meeting you” text the same night or next day is ok. Just don’t text us 30 times the same night. Its unbecoming and makes you seem overeager.
Keep the lol’s to a minimum. I much prefer a smiley, a haha, a lmao, or in my case a SNORT!
Don't say lol after you’ve said something clever. Who wants to chat with someone that is constantly laughing at their own jokes? Not me.
Picture messages of you or your body parts are unwelcome. Seriously. If that’s how you roll, post that crap on craigslist.
Texting cute morning greetings are always appreciated. “Good Morning, Beautiful.” It takes 3 seconds and puts a smile on our faces all day long.
If you send a cute text we are allowed to share it with our friends. It’s like getting flowers at the office rather than at home. The point is to have everyone gush over them. Not to keep them a secret.
I know texting is informal. So what? Use punctuation.
Chapter Two: On Facebook …
Friending on facebook is a mutual agreement to allow digital stalking privileges. Is a date ever really blind anymore? You’d have to be crazy to not peruse each other’s profiles before meeting up because your mutual friends, Kathy and Johnny, think you’d be good together.
Side note: I will also search the OSCN court docket network. I want to know what kind of trouble you get yourself into before I agree to share a meal with you. You’d be surprised how many girls do this.
Chatting is ok. Cute messages on our walls are better. (See the above flowers at the office reasoning.)
If the relationship should turn into something exclusive, you should be the one to update your romantic status. You are the man. Take the initiative.
Remember: Its official if you’ve had the “let’s not see anybody else talk.” Its really official if you make it true on Facebook.
