Why no texting?  Evidence?

I used to hate it until I finally got a phone with a QUERTY keyboard, for example.

Have you ever tried to text with an old fashion 10 digit keypad?

I doubt it's the evidence thing, especially if she accepts emails.

I receive a ridiculous amount of one-line texts from strangers saying:

The pro side for me is: I am able to keep communication open for all my special friends, we don't just set appointments, We communicate. There are many times that I/he are unable to speak on phone, so we have private time through texts.  It could be a simple "Hello" or a fun chatter night!! Emails fall into this category as well.

Same here, but I do not text nor do I reply to texts.  Either pick up the phone or send an e-mail.  E-mail is read and replied to twice a day.  I refuse to be tethered to technology.

1.  I have no way to explain my second phone to my friends and family, and so it stays hidden and off unless I am expecting a call from you (generally once I'm already in the room, waiting for your call so that I can give you the room number).

Some guys will abuse the privilege of having your #
You should only utilize the phone to book &/or confirm a date.

A complete pain in the ass to text. I also find guys like to keep texting. And that gets annoying. Good thing I turn off that phone at days end and those texts that do get sent do not get answered if sent hours after.

It made sense when all we had was a 10 key "phone" pad; but with most every phone (save for an octogenarian's "Cricket" from AARP) having a KWERTY board there is no reason to be intentionally illiterate.
