Messaging Do's And Dont's

Sometimes people are more comfortable talking through social media. Nowadays, texting, Facebooking and other types of social networking can leave a conversation feeling lost, confusing or even annoying. And let's not forget creepy.

In an article about the do's and don'ts of instant messaging your crush, there are many things to consider before hitting send.

What category do you fall under? Look at your messages. Are you a do, or a don't? Bum BUM BUM!

My examples:

To give you an up close and personal look at my digital social life, I am going to share with you my experiences with the do's and don'ts of texting your crush.

Not only will I show you what I have written, but I will also share what someone sent through my Facebook Messenger. I am the dark blue conversation bubble. The do's are examples of my crush conversation. The don'ts are examples of the guy who had tried talking to me often.


1. Do be silly and have fun! Flirting should be fun, right?


2. Don't overuse emojis. After a while, the faces start to look creepier and creepier.


3. Do start a conversation. (If you want to talk, just talk.) Share ideas, likes, dislikes and everything in between. But be careful not to share too much, you'll want to do more of that in person.


4. Don't keep messaging. If someone doesn't respond after the first two, they probably don't want to talk. Some things are better left unsaid.


5. Do care! Share thoughts, be motivating! There are two parts to a conversation, you know.


6. Don't be creepy. Seriously, just don't.


These examples display two different guys. A do and a don't. It is important to make sure that you are communicating effectively and efficiently. Think about what you are posting before you click send.

However, not every emoji, question or picture falls under don't. It really just depends on your perspective. Do you like the person who is crushing on you? Or, do you try to avoid these people? But remember, be careful. Sometimes the don'tsare hard to get rid of.

Look out for the do's and don'ts!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
