Texting with guys has become an art in itself. Everyone has different texting styles, timing, and preferences. Plus texting guys is not like texting a friend. When texting a girl friend you text right back, you put lots of smileys and exclamation points, you text multiple texts, change the conversations, ask her deep, loaded questions, send her pics of your 1st grade picture, and text her at 3am to tell her something funny.
