Traditionally, women are advised to refrain from texting men they like first. This is because it is believed that initiating a conversation may portray them as desperate or crazy. Moreover, it is considered inappropriate to send a second text without receiving a reply as it is deemed a cardinal sin of texting. However, these rules are subjective, and I personally believe that if a guy cannot accept me for who I am, then he is not worth my time even if I double text.
1. If I Have Something To Say, I'm Going To Say It
Personally, I do not believe in beating around the bush in real life, so why should I do it through text messages? Waiting for a reply before continuing a conversation may lead to me forgetting what I intended to say. Although I may not send lengthy messages, if I have something to say, the so-called "forbidden double text" will not deter me from doing so.
2. I Don't Follow "Rules"
I refuse to conform to society's expectations of how I should date or live my life. The idea that sending a second text is a taboo is absurd. I should be allowed to add to or clarify what I have previously written or introduce a new topic without any reservations. If a guy truly likes me, then he would not mind if I break the rules of texting etiquette.
3. I Won't Jump To Conclusions
Is it necessary to assume that he's not interested if he doesn't reply within a few hours? I am a busy person, and I understand that the men I date are busy too. Therefore, I will not refrain from telling him something just to avoid seeming needy. I won't make any assumptions about his response time, as long as he doesn't assume that I'm high maintenance or desperate just because I send a second message.
4. Guys Double Text Too
Every guy who has truly liked me has sent a double text at some point. The ones who don't are the ones who are not that interested. If men aren't expected to follow these rules, why should I? If we like each other, then it's natural to send follow-up messages occasionally. It simply demonstrates that we enjoy talking to each other, and there's nothing wrong with that.
5. If A Text Scares Him Off, He Could Never Handle A Real Relationship
Building a genuine relationship requires effort and dedication. It shouldn't frighten a guy away if I show that I'm committed to the relationship. If he's intimidated by a double text, that's a clear indication that he's not ready for commitment, and I'm not interested in dating someone who is that immature.
6. My Life Doesn't Revolve Around A Man's Schedule
I'm unable to send him a second message since he hasn't replied to the first one. However, I'm not going to wait around to text him, nor will I wait around to spend time with him. I refuse to play games and let him call the shots. If I want to double text, I will.
7. He Should Feel Lucky That I'm Thinking About Him
Receiving a text from someone I really like twice in a day is a good feeling. It's exciting to see their name appear on my phone, knowing that they're thinking of me too. Although it's just a text, I desire a man who gets as thrilled about me as I do about him.
8. A Double Text Is Not Coming On Too Strong
I'm not proposing to the guy, only sending a second text. Why all the fuss? A double text doesn't imply that I'm interested in having a baby with him or that I consider myself his girlfriend. There are no hidden meanings behind a double text, so let's all relax.
9. A Guy Who Really Likes Me Will Be Happy To Hear From Me
If the thought of hearing from someone you like brings you joy, then being bothered by those you dislike is understandably frustrating. However, if my message to a guy has a negative impact on his day, it's a sign that he doesn't reciprocate my interest.
10. I Won't Put Stipulations On A Relationship
My time with him is limited to once a week, which means I must suppress my true feelings in order to avoid scaring him off. Following a set of rules for dating, such as waiting for a reply before sending another text, seems nonsensical to me. I refuse to compromise who I am just to conform to societal expectations for relationships.
