The entire world is affected by the digital system, and the dating world is no exception. In the 21st century, we prefer to text than to call, and we may not realize how much impact it has on our dating life ! especially in the initial stages. It is utmost important to follow the digital etiquette to get the right first impression. Here is a list of top 7 habits which are annoying to the core and should be avoided immediately!
1-ONE WORD REPLY
The most irritating habit is replying with one-word answers, and it leaves an impression on the other person that you are either not interested or are cold. People express their feelings, share their daily experiences through messages and getting a word in return is not pleasing and is a clear indication of “I don’t care”, even when you do.
Pro Tip: If you don’t like to text, you can use voice notes. If you are tired, busy or not in a mood to type, let the other person know.
2-TOO MANY MESSAGES
Now, bombarding the other person’s inbox with too many messages is also a big turn off. “Too easily available” is not something that today’s youngsters would prefer! Be selectively available, and try to send messages not more than 3-4 times a day. No matter how much your partner likes you, too many messages can be a threat in the initial stages of a relationship.
3-POOR GRAMMAR
“I had cakes in lunch”, “I go out yesterday with my friends to chill”. Be very careful with your grammatical errors as it can cost you a relationship. Majority of the people link grammar with intelligence and personality, which is an attractive factor in your partner!
Pro-Tip: You can install Grammarly! Problem Solved!
4-TAKING TOO LONG TO REPLY
Don’t let your partner wait for your lazy behaviour. Again, make them understand that you are busy, and would take some time. But, don’t make it a habit.
5-CHEESY SELFIE
Snap Chat, Instagram, Facebook & front side camera has made selfie the latest trend but this might be very pleasing to your partner. Sending it once in a while is cute, but a regular flow of selfies will tag you as “self-obsessed”.
6-USING NAMES LIKE “Sona, Baby or Nona”
Gone are the times when cheesy names were romantic. Avoid it till you are not sure regarding your partner’s preference.
7-USING SHORT SPELLINGS
“Wht is mde in d dnnr?”, “hw ws yr dy?” Are you the owner of some multi-national company or what? If your answer is no, please take out some time from your busy routine and complete the words you use in text messages.
