If you don’t already know, a dry texter is the type of person who responds to messages with one-word answers — or, worse, single letters. They make life hard for the recipient, having to keep pushing the conversation forward with awkward questions and overcompensating replies. Some dry texts have multiple meanings.

If you feel like you are boring it is likely because you don’t have things in common with them or you aren’t confident enough or comfortable enough to talk to them. When I text people they don’t usually text me back and it takes me years to open up to people.

Here are nine signs that show you’re bad at texting, and it’s ruining your dating life.

1. You Wait Too Long To Text Back. Giphy.
2. You Forget To Respond Completely.
3. You Over-Punctuate.
4. You Write Him A Novel.
5. You Use Too Many Emojis.
6. You Say Too Little.
7. You Leave Your Read Receipts On.
8. You Only Text Them Drunk.

If you’re texting with someone new and all of their replies are one-word answers, or they used to text you longer messages and have recently become monosyllabic, that’s a red flag. Either this person is not that into you, or they aren’t able to carry on a conversation.

“Bad at texting” can sometimes mean they just don’t care to talk to you via text — but in other cases, maybe they don’t even care to talk to you at all. Here’s how you can tell the difference: If they really want to talk to you, they’ll do it in the way that works best for them.

We keep it short and sweet. The first thing all women need to know is that most guys don’t like texting. Of course, if you have a guy texting you in paragraphs, it’s a great sign that he likes you because he thinks you’re worth taking the time to do something he doesn’t really love.

You may say any of the following things, or similar, depending on the situation:

1. I understand where you are coming from.
2. I understand you are upset.
3. I understand you are in pain.
4. I understand you are frustrated.
5. Is there anything I can do to help you?
6. I love you.
7. I hear you.
8. I appreciate how you are feeling.

In the latest example of digital communications being difficult to parse – at least consistently – a judge has ruled that ending a text with a kiss (the letter x, that is, not an emoji) does not constitute flirting. If someone always signs off with a kiss, it is safe to assume that they are not IRL puckering up.

If a person is clingy it is a sign of attachment. That can be cute. It can also be a sign of emotional dependence; that’s less awesome. If you love a clingy person, it’s important to set good boundaries, and only take responsibilities that you actually choose to carry, not all that are suggested to you.

Well, it is double texting but its not always a bad thing. Double texting doesn’t always have to show your date that you are clingy and desperate. You can show how much interested you are in them in a subtle yet effective way.

Your Text Convos Are Totally Unbalanced One of the most obvious signs you’re texting too much is that almost every message in your conversations comes from you. Whether they’re busy, bored or simply can’t keep up, their disproportionate responses are a sign that you’re texting them more than the situation warrants.
