Tweeting, Texting and “Liking”: What Flirting Means In The Digital Age

The perpetual texter

The age of technology and social media is a great age for people who have no idea what they want. They are allowed to live in an in between limbo of having pseudo-relationships, all through the Internet or their phones. And that is exactly the type of person you are dealing with if you are dealing with the perpetual texter. This is somebody who you meet one night, hit it off with, and who ends up texting you for weeks and even months on end, without asking you out. They’ll text you every day or every week, starting a fun and flirtatious conversation, and then just end it. This person wants a relationship, but they also don’t because they’re afraid of commitment, or of being close to someone, or of having to actually impress someone. If you’ve been texting for over a week without a plan for a date, you’ll be texting forever.
