Me: I guess you're right.

Debbie: LOL

There it was, the dreaded "LOL". I am almost certain that I am not the only one to fall, victim to dead conversations, so I am here to offer up some tips and tricks to the "Text Gods" in hope of reviving my message threads. When your alert tone goes silent... use these methods and you will wish your text tones weren't so violent.

Option #1

When you are texting your crush, you always ask them how their day was right? Well what do you do with that information? This is my most frequented option to save a conversation. When my crush answers and tells me about their day, I save all of that information and keep it in the back of my mind. If you run out of things to talk about, bring up how cute the dog they talked about petting was.

Option #2

If their day was uneventful, ask them what there plans are/were for the day. You can then use this to you advantage by again working it into the conversation, in turn reviving the conversation.

Option #3

Don't be afraid to bring up a risqué topic, they tend to be great discussion topics and you will learn so much about the other person. Be careful to take into consideration the person you are talking to though; don't preach to the choir.
