Professional Insight
Don't Text While Dating
by Goldy Krantz, LMSW
Reprinted from
Queens Jewish Link
Texting is an issue that I feel strongly about. No, I'm not going to be like Oprah and ask anyone to sign a "No Texting While Driving" agreement - although you shouldn't be doing both at the same time. I have always felt that texting is a great way to ask a simple question or to convey a thought without having to call and have a whole conversation. Just text, "What's Chaya's phone number?" or "I'm running late." Personally, I hate having to have a long conversation if I just need the answer to one question. But there are people who
only text. They don't answer calls or call anyone. There was a whole segment on this topic on one of the radio shows I listen to. The radio host said that he doesn't want to get into long conversations and when he sees that someone is calling him, he'll text back, "What?" He doesn't even listen to voicemail messages: "I'll see that you called and I'll text you back when I get around to it. I don't want to listen to your long-winded messages. I even do that with my mother." Apparently, there are thousands if not millions of people who do this as well.
You can call me old fashioned, but I prefer doing things old-school. If I have to invite people to a gathering, I call them or send an invitation (not an e-vite). I have always mailed thank-you cards within two weeks of receiving a gift. I don't text "Thanks for the gift" two months later - as was done to me, and I had to wonder what gift they were referring to, as I had forgotten about it. I call the host or hostess if I was invited to a simchah or a small get-together within 48 hours of attending, thanking them for inviting me and telling them how much I enjoyed their soiree. This is just how I am. I don't expect others to be the same, but I do expect common courtesy from others when communicating. And from what I am hearing, others expect common courtesy and a phone call when it comes to dating, rather than receiving a text, especially when the relationship is new.
