    Texting Your Girlfriend: The Perfect Balance

    Best quote from Texting Your Girlfriend: The Perfect Balance

    “

    Think of texting as the appetizer, not the main course; it's a bridge to meeting up in person and should be used to create positive anticipation rather than trying to build a relationship through a phone screen.
