PlanJam!From your screen to the scene

In today’s world, people have the luxury of using the advancements of technology to further their dating and relationship needs. Whether it is meeting someone through an online dating website, or communicating via email, the Internet and other forms of technology enable people to correspond in a number of different ways. One of the newest and simplest forms of modern communication is text messaging. For those who may be unfamiliar with text messaging, let me define the process so that you will have a clear understanding exactly what text messaging is and how it works.

First of all, many mobile or cellular phones come with the capabilities of sending text messages or SMS. SMS stands for Short Messaging Service and it is the ability to type in a message that is delivered in text form to a cell phone. Interestingly, technology has allowed for text messaging between cell phones, or from a computer to another computer, computer to cell phone, landline to cell phone, and even a Pocket PC to a cell phone. No one really knows who invented SMS or text messaging, and no one really expected it to catch on. It is a simple technology yet amazingly, many people have found the art of sending text messages a great way of communicating.

One of the nice features about text messaging is that many mobile phone carriers allow for free or very inexpensive text messaging- both inbound and outbound. However, it is important to check your mobile phone service provider’s plan to ensure that you can use the service for free. If your provider charges a few cents per message, remember not to get carried away and only text within your budget. You may find text messaging so much fun that it is easy to turn those cents into a few hundred dollars, so text wisely and carefully.

You may wonder why anyone would need text messaging when they have a telephone and can make calls easily and simply. To begin with, text messaging offers many benefits. Like mentioned before, text messaging is often offered for free and many users can send free text messages via their computers to a mobile cell phone user. This is a nice way to send a message to your romantic other if they are at work, or if you know that they are busy and would be interrupted by receiving a phone call, but you would still like to send them a nice message or greeting.

Many cellular phones come with standard greetings, but these often don’t express the true feelings that the sender wants to convey in their message. However, if you find it difficult to choose the right text message, here are some great ones that will express to your partner how you feel:

I Love You or I Luv U

Always and Forever…I Love You

You Rock my World

I will always love you

You have captured my heart

Miss U, want U, need U

I’m yours forever and a day

Thinking of U

Missing U Terribly

Wishing U were Here
