Tweeting, Texting and “Liking”: What Flirting Means In The Digital Age
DM’s on Twitter
Twitter is meant to be a highly public platform. Much of it runs on RT’s or Retweets meaning one user re posts something another user wrote and before you know it, your funny sentence has gone viral. Rarely—rarely—will someone Direct Message (DM) you on Twitter. Unless it’s to exchange highly confidential information, if someone messages you on there to just take the conversation to a more private area, or to get to speak more extensively with you past that 140 character limit, they usually have a romantic interest in you. In the real world, it’s similar to the guy at the bar that asks you to go for a walk. He wants to say things to you that he doesn’t want others to hear. And, he wants to show you that he thinks you’re special.
