Caption Options. Close Settings. As a phrase, “dry texting” is relatively recent in the grand scheme of things. It refers to people who reply with one word, or don't carry the conversation and just say things like “lmao” and “wyd” until the receiver wants to tear their hair out in frustration or boredom.
Your guy might prefer to text a bit less, or he might not like texting at all. It's worth checking in with his comfort levels and preferences. Some guys send dry texts because they aren't fans of texting, so keep in mind a dry text doesn't immediately mean that your guy doesn't like you.
“Dry texters may suffer from social anxiety and have a difficult time communicating their thoughts and feelings via written word,” says psychotherapist Anita Astley, LMFT, author of the forthcoming book Unf*ck Your Life and Relationships.
Some ladies do not text first because they want you to initiate the contact yourself. They enjoy the thrill of being chased and at the center of their significant other's attention. As a result, they would lay back and allow the other person to always reach out to them first.

Cold texting is reaching out via SMS to a contact without their prior consent or permission. It's similar to cold calling and cold emailing. Some examples that would lead to cold texting include: Purchasing a contact list from a third party. Finding customers' phone information online.
One of the most obvious signs the person you're texting isn't interested, according to online dating expert Julie Spira, is as simple as the length of their messages. “When someone isn't that into you, their responses to your text messages will be short, as in one to three words,” Spira tells Elite Daily.
SMS Marketing Laws in Australia Mean You Need Consent
There are two types of consent you can have to be able to send direct marketing; express and inferred permission. In both types, consent must be given by the owner of the phone or email account to receive permission to receive communications.
One grey tick means that the message has been sent successfully. Two grey ticks means that the message has been delivered successfully to the recipient's phone. If the two ticks turn blue, that means that the message has been read.
A green text message on your iPhone isn't a sign that your phone number was blocked, or that the text was not delivered. Instead, it means that the message was sent as a standard SMS message rather than an iMessage, which will appear as blue.
“A green flag is when a potential partner is considerate and aware of your boundaries, asks for clarification on them when they are unclear, and does not push them,” she says. Let's say you ask to meet at a bar or the park on the first date and have expressed that you're more comfortable meeting in public places.
Further, a lot of guys like getting goodnight texts, but may not ask for them outright. It can be important not to overthink what kind of text to send a guy and when to send it. As you get to know the guy more, you can likely discover which kinds of texts he appreciates most.
