Mass sexting-Just say no(thing)

I went to dinner with my ladies tonight and we discussed the usual things: music, boys, work, etc... I brought up that last time I was single, back in 2002 (yikes), it was before things like Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter were popular. In fact, text messaging hadn't fully caught on yet. It is quite a shock to be single in 2009. I have realized that some boys are prone to send inappropriate text messages late at night... things that they would never say in person or over the phone. It's frustrating (and usually the result of being over served alcoholic beverages). I am also aware that sometimes I am not the only person that individual is choosing to text at the moment. It's like: let's send out texts to five different girls at 2am and see which one takes the bait. Aren't we smarter than that ladies!?

I would like to point out that it is hard to determine the tone of a message when it is typed out. It is easy to misconstrue things... Wouldn't it be so much simpler to pick up the phone??? I've had texts fights that lasted hours when they would have been a 5 minute phone call.

So I urge all of my single ladies (now put your hands up) to boycott the text. It's ok to text a girlfriend or a brotherly type of male friend... But all other text will be replied with a call... If the text does not show me the proper respect I deserve then you shall receive no reply at all. I hope this will solve my dating dilemma. Of course, as always, I will keep you updated.

ps. I deleted my emo post... It just wasn't me.
