5 Texts You Should Never Send to Your New Boyfriend

When it comes to texting you're a guy, it's very easy to send a message literally and figuratively. Sending your new boyfriend, the wrong message via text can be damaging to your relationship and send him running for the hills.

Conversation, whether over the phone, in person or via text is important, but texting your feelings is something you should be very cautious with, since we haven't been able to master conveying our feelings through text yet.

"Looking forward to more nights like that with you."

While we're sure you mean well, if you've just started dating, you could potentially scare off your man with talk of the future. Instead of discussing the distant future, say something more along the lines of: "I had fun last night. Let's do it again sometime, but maybe at my place?" This text shows that you enjoyed yourself enough to have another date, but you aren't making yourself or him commit to anything further than the next date. You're letting him know you're serious, but not looking to plan the wedding.

"Would you like to meet my parents this weekend?"

First of all, that is a loaded question. Whether you've been on one date, two dates or even three dates, it's still too soon for this question. If he says 'no', he knows he'll hurt your feelings and will probably never get out of the dog house for saying no. You want to save this question for when you've been dating for a few months. If you really want him to meet your parents, approach the situation like this: "My parents are visiting this weekend, so I won't be able to hang out." If he shows any interest in the topic of their visit, casually mention that he is more than welcome to join the three of you at any point during the night.

"Why aren't you responding to my texts?"

This text makes you come off as clingy and controlling. If you've texted him and he hasn't responded, give him some space, if he's busy he'll text you back when he's free. If he didn't explain why he didn't text you or you're feeling particularly anxious, ask him in person why he didn't respond in person, but generally, being clingy is not a trait that men find particularly charming.

The first 'I love you'.

There is never a situation where it is OK to say the first I love you via text. Of course, if it's the second or third time, it's fine to say I love you via text, however, saying it for the first time is a special moment that should be shared together in person.

Any breakup

In addition to not saying I love you via text, a breakup is never something you should do via text either. These situations are emotional situations and should only ever be done in person.

Texting anyone requires significant thought, especially a boyfriend or love interest. So, before you send the text, think about how it sounds and how it could be perceived because once you press send, you can never take it back.
