well... i'd say its on a case by case basis. for me, the main problem is that occasionally, my sense of humor doesn't come through over a text. sarcasm is a hard thing to convey through nothing more than text. however, this great girl that i've been in an ltr with for the last 11 months loves texting. she absolutely feels great about always being able to get ahold of me. i still don't respond right away, so im not TOO available, but it is basically a direct link to me at all times for her. not to mention, if the girl's way into you like mine is, it helps with jealousy and insecurity. i never really wonder what she's doing without me, cuz she and i are pretty much always in a conversation.
