These beautifully written notes expressed a thousand feelings. Lovers used to spend a long enough time to write those letters so that their spouse could receive the same intensity of emotions that they wish to express. And the most romantic part of this medium of conversation was the wait for the letters. Love might still be the same in modern times, but the mode of communication has changed. Letters are now replaced by instant messages that don’t make you wait. That does no way mean that communication has become simpler. With advanced technology, communicating with your loved ones has become complicated and challenging to understand. Every text message that we send could have a hundred different interpretations depending on who is reading. This has made texting an art that one needs to understand to succeed in relationships. These are some of the factors that affect the psychology of modern age conversation with your partner. First Move You met someone at a party, and you instantly connect with the person. You even exchange numbers with the promise to stay in touch. But then comes the million-dollar question. Who makes the first move? Often the first move is at the risk of being judged as too soon. Or men are generally expected to make the early initiative. These are some old stereotyped guidelines that you
need not follow. Whenever or whoever feels like can make the first move of texting the other. You never know, a single text could be the chance to meet your soulmate. Time Taken to Reply When you receive a text from your partner, how soon should you respond? Do you instantly reply, or do you wait to show your importance? How soon is too soon? The three dots of typing and a blue tick for delivered messages can bring up a wave of thoughts in your mind. While one takes time to reply to the text, the other might feel neglected. This could be a ground for misunderstanding that could bring problems in your relationship. Engaging Messages What message to send to keep the interest of the opposite person alive in the conversation is the next enigma. In a face to face communication, you can see the other person's expression and talk accordingly. But while texting, you can only assume that your mate is interested in your conversation. Misinterpretation of Words Some sentences can have a variety of meanings. A phrase that you usually use could be disrespectful for the other. A sarcastic or funny statement could hurt the other's feelings if not conveyed rightly. This makes it essential that we chose our words correctly before constructing a text. In a live conversation, you get a chance to understand the reaction of your statements, but in a text message, it is challenging to understand the reception of your words. Dating these days has become a well-laid game with predetermined rules and regulations. Who texts first and when to reply to those texts are all calculated decisions. Anxiety and anticipation are at their best when we are texting our partners. But we often forget that relationships need freedom. For a successful relationship, one should freely express themselves while conversing. Also, attempt to understand each other emotions while communicating.
