'Why does there need to be a "guide" for texting?', you ask.
It's there to make your life less complicated and save you from those awkward pauses that occur when you're talking on the phone.
Texting gives you time to think, edit and then reply. It saves you from sounding like an idiot (depending on how well your 'think' and 'edit' steps went of course -- which is where this guide comes in).
Now, when texting family (mom, dad, brother, sister) it really doesn't matter if you make a horrible typo or send something your weren't supposed to ( this all depends on how close you are with your fam, so don't be sending nasty pictures, please.)
Girls, when texting your best friend you two can say anything, and usually speak in fragments or HUGE paragraphs. When texting your guy friend....don't. They hate typing because they're lazy. And whatever you type and send will be completely ignored (if there is an option to skype, just do that). When that option is not available, they're usually quite good with replying.
Boys, when texting your "bro"....oh wait, you guys don't (unless talking about a party with food and hot girls).
Now the important part:
When talking to your crush. You should be used to how that person "writes" and "sounds" when they're in a normal mood, so it'll be easy to notice any chances.
"Okayyyyy", "Okaay/Okayy", "Okay/Kay", "Ok", "Ok.", "K", "K."
( In descending order from 'super happy' to 'get your life together, you messed up bad')
"LMFAOOOO", "LMAO", "lmao/LOL", "Lol", "lawl", "lel/ llo" (typos), "haha/hehe", "Ok lol"
(In descending order from "DAMN you were funny" to "stop talking, i hate you and you will never be funny")
If emoticons are usually used a lot and suddenly stop, something is wrong.
If emoticons are usually never used and suddenly start, they either love you now or are highly drunk (good luck figuring out which one).
If the crush sends you an "Okay", or a "Sure" or any other lame one word answer, then don't reply. You can't reply, and if you send anything to try to keep the conversation going, it'll make it really obvious you like them (unless that's what you're going for, then go for it).
If they want to keep talking to you, they'll say something else.
Last point, please edit (especially if you have autocorrect), you wouldn't want to be the sad sad person who accidently sent his crush "I'm going to take a whore" or "Penis Butter", instead of "I'm going to take a shower" and "Peanut Butter", right?
No one would want to be that guy.
Happy Texting xD
