Bad Texting = Break-up

I wish I had read the texting do's and don'ts before I started texting my new girlfriend! We're back together now, but this morning she broke up with me she was so furious...she did it via text! I told her that was a texting no no. Anyways the whole thing got started over something simple taken outta context, so the meaning got all misunderstood...another texting don't on her part...so even though she's been texting longer than I have, she's making the same mistakes I've made. So now I'm sharing with her what I've learned, and we both should do better on that front! That one about guessing what they're talking about is a biggy...cuz that's what really got me in trouble! I thought she was talking about something totally different, and my response was not what she wanted to hear...so...anyways thanks for the heads up on the texting, those are some words of wisdom that can nip it in the bud as they say!
