You know, I only ever did that once to a date, and while awesome at the moment, I couldn't help but feel like a major douchebag later. I've never had a date walk out on me, I can only imagine how much of a blow to anyone's pride it would be. Kudos to you for being so callous.

On topic, I text all the time. I receive a number of texts from friends throughout the day, I bother people on here with texts, and texting is about the only communication I have with my sister at this point lol.

Texting sure beats sending smoke signals

My work environment is very noisy, so it makes having a conversation with someone over the phone very difficult. Texting works as it's a quick form of communication, plus it leaves a nice breadcrumb trail to follow back.

Plus it helps I have unlimited texts versus limited minutes with my calling plan. However, I know most people don't have similar arrangements so I try to be responsible about the frequency of texts I do send out. You won't find me sending out 10k messages out like you see some kids. And mine have complete sentences, with grammar and correct spelling!
