1. You rely on texting for crucial conversations.
​Even though it can be awkward and you might be super nervous, certain topics should be discussed face-to-face, like deciding whether or not to be exclusive, saying "I love you" for the first time, and breaking up. It's tempting to side-step a nerve-wracking convo with a text, but texts can be hard to interpret and can easily lead to miscommunication. Bringing these topics up are hard enough, you don't want to then be unsure what the outcome was or how your S.O. feels. That DTR convo can easily blow up in your face if your text is taken the wrong way. And as uncomfy as it might be, you'll feel a lot better if you're 100 percent clear on where you stand.
​2. You base the quality of your relationship on the strength of your texting game.
When you're waiting hours for your crush to text you back, you might assume that the relationship isn't going to take off. It can be hard not to take it personally or read into everything your crush is or isn't texting, but try not to leap to conclusions or get upset. First, stop to consider why they're not answering. It's completely likely that they're busy doing homework, hanging out with their crew, still at basketball practice, or didn't hear their phone go off.

Likewise, try not to read too much into what their texts say. Using a thumbs up instead of a smiley face emoji doesn't necessarily mean you're being friend-zoned. Texts are notoriously easy to misinterpret, so wasting your time freaking out over one or two words, isn't worth it, and some people just aren't big on texting. How do they act around you when you hang out in-person? If they're always flirting with you and finding reasons to talk to you or touch you, don't stress too much about their texts. On the other hand, if they rarely ever respond to your texts and they never go out of the way to talk to you when you see them in the hallway, they might not be feeling it, in which case, it's their loss and you can move on.
​​3. You're constantly texting with other people when you two hang out.
It sucks to make plans to hang out or chat someone up at a party, only to find that the person you're with is more invested in their phone than they are in you. You might be trying to play it cool, but it sends the message that you're not into them and would rather be somewhere else. Plus, it prevents you from bonding. Ditch your phone in your school bag and enjoy your bae's company!
