Don't Textually Harass Your Date

No matter how the date went—good or bad—don’t bombard your date with texts or emails. It’s one thing to check in and thank them for the evening, but it’s another thing to inundate them with questions and other potential times to get together. You don’t want to scare them away. A lot of people find clingy behavior intrusive and annoying, and besides, you'll only make yourself look desperate. Never use IM, SMS language, or computer jargon when sending a note as a 'Thank you' or other communication. Using jargon, in general, makes a person appear self-centered if others don't understand it. It also makes the listener feel ignorant. You should never assume everyone knows what LOL or TTYL means. 

• "Cuz" should never be used instead of "because" 
• "2" should never replace "to", "two" or "too". It can cause confusion in some cases. 
• Know the difference between you, your, and you're as well as there, their, and they're. 
• Its and it's have different meanings as well. 

Use a dictionary or thesaurus if you aren't sure of the spelling, meaning, or usage of a word. Remember, it's better to use a word you're comfortable using rather than a fancy word that you don't know the meaning.
