A simple question really... Although i feel as if the answers will be much more complicated...I think we just may text a wee bit too much. I'd much prefer saying I LOVE YOU in person as oppose to text'n it. What's your take?

"Short talk" at least you haven't lost your way. Some people don't even call for small talk anymore. They now "small text". Thanks for your opinion.

Well this one depends on the point of view or situation , but lets put it that way --- sometimes its easier to tell a thing to another person by writing it by email or text message than doing it personally , and thats afact.

It may be good to use words in person if you are able to see that person. What if that person is not near to you, and he/she is some other state or some other country? Texting is good to use if you are away from your friends. But if you are near, I think the best way to say I Love you is to meet the person and tell them yourselves.

True... When that person is far away it is rather cute to do. Think about this tho... Back in the day when they didn't have as much access to each other... could it be safe to say that the meeting and seeing each other again was that much more powerful? Thanks for your opinion!

I send and receive approximately 2500-3000 texts per month. Yes, I know that's a lot. But I'm finding that I'm doing most of my texting to a friend that lives over 1000 miles away from me. Texting is more convenient then talking on the phone, because at least with texting nobody else around you knows what you're saying to whomever it is you're talking to. I too would much rather say "I love you" in person, but sometimes, like in distance relationships, in person doesn't come that often.

Yeah it means more face to face. When they're that far away tho it is rather sweet to do! Thanks for your opinion.
