I love texting because I'm scared to death to talk to a girl on the phone. I don't know why, but virtual communication is so much easier for me.
OK, you got me in the spotlight there. It is way easier to text girls. I've done that a couple of times (being the only couple of girls' phone numbers I've ever had) because it's nice to be able to think before you say something and awkward silence doesn't really factor in because pauses are expected.
I guess what I meant is I just hate it because I put some blame on it with regard to the failure of this generation to develop proper communication abilities.
