If you’re getting to know a new guy that you like very much and you want to send him a text message, you might have several questions about it.
First of all, you might wonder what you should say in the text message. Another question that you might have is: What is the best time of day to text a guy?
The best time of day to text a guy will depend on several different factors, with the first one being his work schedule.
If he works the third shift, then you won’t want to text him at 11 am because he’s probably sleeping.
On the other hand, you don’t want to text him while he’s working if it could get him into trouble with his boss, so the best time to text a guy depends on the specific guy and his schedule.

Is there ever such a thing as texting too often?
This totally depends on the situation, and if both people enjoy texting, then there is no problem at all.
However, if a guy is texting you at all times of the day and night and you don’t want to hear from him, then that is definitely too much, and you need to tell him.
You can tell that you are texting a guy too often if you keep sending messages, yet he hasn’t responded to your first message.
When people prefer to text rather than talk on the phone
Many people these days, especially younger people, would much rather text than talk on the phone.
This is becoming a common problem that is annoying for some people because texting can seem impersonal and the messages can be easily misunderstood.
If a person is in a relationship with someone who would rather text than talk but the person wants to talk, then the person needs to sit her significant other down and have a serious conversation if that doesn’t work for them as well.
Is it rude to break up with someone via text message?
Most people would agree that it is pretty rude and uncaring to break up with someone via text message.
If a person would just imagine how they would feel if someone broke up with them in a text message, then they would think twice about breaking things off in such a manner.
However, if the person simply doesn’t care, then they’re going to break things off by text message and not feel guilty about it.
What should you do if a guy keeps texting you in the early hours of the morning while you’re sleeping?
If a guy that you’re seeing keeps sending you text messages at two or three in the morning, then you can first, let him know that you’re asleep during that time and that receiving text messages disrupts your sleep.
However, if he continues, then you can set your phone to “do not disturb” during certain hours and his text messages won’t come through.
If you ignore his text messages that come in during that time, then he should eventually stop texting so late at night.
Is it acceptable to tell a guy you love him for the first time via text message?
Since so many people rely on text messaging as a major part of their communications, if you want to let your special guy know that you love him, then sending a text message professing your love for him for the first time should be acceptable.
Hopefully, your guy reciprocates, so you won’t feel like a complete idiot for telling him you love him, and he says something like “thank you.”
If he reciprocates, when you see him in person, you need to verbally tell him that you love him, so he’ll know you really mean it.
Texting etiquette
Many people enjoy sending and receiving text messages, but not everyone is aware that there is an unspoken texting etiquette that should be adhered to.
What is texting etiquette? It’s treating texting messages in a certain manner, such as refraining from texting someone at inappropriate times, refraining from texting numerous messages before the other person has responded to the first, and much more.
“Yelling” at someone via text message
Many people “yell” in their text messages, whether they are trying to get a point across or they’re angry and want the other person to know that if they were having a conversation instead of texting that they would be getting yelled at.
In order to “yell” at someone via text, all you have to do is use all capital letters.
Many people “argue” in this way via text message and even though they’re not actually talking, things can sometimes get pretty heated.
Harassing someone via text message
Many people have been harassed through texting, and even stalked, and if someone keeps sending you text messages and you’ve asked them to stop, then you might want to block their number.
However, even if you block a harasser’s phone number, they can still send you harassing messages by using a computer or someone else’s phone.
If this were to happen, then you might be forced to either change your phone number or get the police involved, because the harasser obviously has a very serious problem.
Is texting more popular than sending emails?
When it comes to both personal and business relationships, it seems as if texting is, in fact, more popular than emailing someone.
It’s a lot quicker and easier to text someone, and even though most people have access to their email accounts on their cell phones, sending a text message is still faster and easier.
People will always continue to send emails, however, but this mostly applies to work-related communication.
Should a woman text her ex for a booty call?
If a woman is feeling frisky and she isn’t in a current relationship, nor is her ex, then texting him for sex is certainly permissible.
Just because she sends him a booty call text doesn’t mean that he’ll agree to come and have sex, but if he does, then that’s great.
The woman could end up reconciling with her ex, and if it’s meant to be, hopefully, things will work out more favorably the second time around.
How to react if you send an inappropriate text message to the wrong person
If you have accidentally sent a text message of a sexual nature to a pastor, teacher, or someone else that it wasn’t intended for, then you are undoubtedly experiencing an immense amount of embarrassment.
You may wonder what to do if this happens.
It’s best to play it cool, and you could even send a follow-up text explaining that the message was intended for your boyfriend and then apologize that you sent it to them by accident.
How to prevent yourself from sending a text message to the wrong person
Let’s face it: we’ve all been so busy and preoccupied that we’ve quickly sent a text message to someone without thinking much about it.
However, this makes it easy to send a text message to the wrong person, so you need to take your time and pay attention to who you’re sending the text message to.
Many friendships have been ruined because a former friend said something derogatory about the person in a text message, but instead of sending it to the person they were venting to, they sent it to the person they were angry with and saying negative things about.
As you can see, the best time of day to text a guy isn’t always when you think it might be, so you should find out his schedule in advance.
If you’re not sure, try texting him at around six or seven pm.
If he doesn’t respond, then you can either wait for him to text you back or try texting him at a different time or on a different day.
