Imagine someone messages you at a quarter to 1 on a Saturday night after not answering your last message two days ago. How are you responding?
And if someone triple texts you in the middle of a busy day and calls you out for your slow reply: What then? Does it matter who it is and why?
These are some questions a Times article asks at the beginning of a piece about how mismatched texting styles can take a toll on a new romance, but we’re applying them to all your texting relationships — whether with romantic partners, friends, parents, relatives, coaches, bosses or anyone else.
What’s your texting style? How much does it vary depending on who you’re communicating with? What ways of texting are real mismatches for your own? Have you had any issues as a result? How have you handled it?
