I remember a long time ago when texting first came out. I thought it was the coolest thing in the entire world.

I never had to call anybody. I could just get on my phone and stare at the screen. At that time, it wasn’t really much of a screen, it was a Blackberry Pearl if you remember those. I would stare at the little screen and I would literally let my fingers do all the talking.

The Actual Phone Call

I used to be that guy who would sit at home at night and call women on the phone and get to know them. I remember I’d get a few phone numbers from women and I would call them all up to see which ones I connected with best, who fit my personality and who I got the most excited by.

Nowadays, nobody actually takes the time to talk on the phone anymore. But that used to happen; we used to spend hours on the phone, meeting women, getting to know them, connecting. I was great at intriguing women over the phone.

I enjoyed that. I really enjoyed the whole thing about connecting. I loved the phone call. I called it dialing for a relationship.

But then texting came along and I could talk to a few different women at the same time. It was great for dating.

Texting Changed the Dating Game

I remember when I first started texting, probably back around 2007, I was having relationships where I never even picked up the phone. I was in the text relationships.

Sometimes at night, we would just lay in bed when we weren’t together and we would text each other for hours instead of talking. I would anticipate every single text coming in because it was new, it was exciting, and, well, it was just different than talking on the phone.

I kind of look back now and think to myself that I kind of miss the talking. I’m really tired of people texting each other constantly. It gets boring. Now when I start texting somebody I kind of fizzle out after a while. After about a week of texting back and forth, I kind of get bored. I don’t find it really that exciting at all anymore.

Connecting in the Perfect Relationship

Today I sat down with a friend of mine and we talked about how to have a great relationship; you might even want to call it the perfect relationship.

We sat down and talked about what texting has done to relationships and what you need to do if you seriously want to have a great relationship. We discussed some of the steps you’re going to need to take to get to that perfect relationship, and I’ll let you know right now that one of those steps is to not text each other 24/7 non-stop.

Check out today’s videos, it’s really interesting. And for those of you who are serious about having a relationship, I strongly suggest you dive into this video and listen to what my good friend has to say.
