How often do you do it?
I had a long distance relationship once and we text throughout the day every day.
Other relationships it hasn't been like this.
I've met a nice chap recently and we text each other a lot through the day, probably because we haven't met up much with me being ill loads recently and him working odd hours.
I just wonder what's it's going to be like if we do get to see each other more, will I still enjoy it or will it bug the hell out of me, or will it die off, or will he stop doing it and I bug him?!

When we moved in, the texting stopped really. We text sometimes when at work, or if we forgot something, asking if the other wants anything from the shop, silly mundane things. I think that if you saw each other more you would text less. It's a natural progression IMO.
(ok, its not texting but its comes under the same communication bracket!)
If its long distance, I like to text alot. However, this depends on the guy. One of my exes used to reply to them and used to text me more than I did him. The other just used to ignore my texts (yes, he was a dick). After a while, I just didn't bother.
If its not long distance, then I don't text much tbh because I usually spend my time with them rather than talking to/texting them.
My last ex, I text him loads in the couple of weeks before we were together, but when we got together it disappeared almost entirely. I used to get one word answers to really long messages that I'd sent to him and it was kind of like...er, wtf? Meh.
When we first got together I suppose I was more of a texter, and he still sometimes sends me corny messages like "you look beautiful, baby" when I've just rolled out of the house looking like Worzel Gummidge. But I never sent him details of my day or anything like that. If something interesting happens I generally just give him a bell, or tell him at night when we're together. Obviously if you're long distance it's different, but we're not so I feel no need to touch base so frequently.
if i'm just seeing someone then i don't tend to ring them and just stick to txting.
Now we live together i see him every day but he normally texts me while he's at uni to tell me what he's up to, we always text when we're out with other people.
I think its nice. Its not too much but enough
However when i'm travelling we do text quiet a bit becuase its cheaper than phone calls - but esp in colombia its a bit hit and miss.
Though, he has Nextel and it takes literally hours to recieve messages sometimes so I usually just send emails over the phone, or harass him on his work email via his blackberry.
THough I don't use text speak, see, I can even type out the word text, and neither does he, else I would never text him.
When i first started going out with my boyfriend we texted loads but now we hardly text unless planning to meet up as little credit etc.
so it depends really, i would love to text more but *shrugs* won't happen unless i find someone else hehe x
Aw, yeah me and my old girlfriends were a lot like that. Getting ones wishing you sweet dreams just before you went to sleep was always nice aswell
I always used to try and keep my sentimental ones but there were always so many my inbox constantly overflowed
I'm glad everyone doesn't text all the time! I was beginning to feel incredibly left out
I do that all the time, except email during work hours. I'd hate to be the computer guy if he ever checkes work emails
