    Hello everyone

    How to define a texting conversation with someone.? To be able to converse for days or perhaps it is the details of the conversations?

    Does having curiosity, asking too many questions make a dull conversation?

    What is a dull and boring conversation?

    I personally wouldn’t use texting for emotional conversations, to easy to read into a statement. So IMO all text conversatons should be dull and boring.

    Think how much nicer our world might be if the President didn’t user Texting to communicate with. Then his intention is to confuse and keep everyone off balance and texting is great for that 🙂

    Hello Peter

    Does it mean that text conversations cannot be enriching?

    I don’t get why people do not reply to text messages even though there is a text to continue?

    JHK,

    What is more enriching is to have face-to-face conversation or even interactive phone conversations.  To notice body language, vocal inflections and tonal quality and other cues you can get from these communication modalities give you more information about each other than words on a screen.

    Frankly I find having any kind of meaningful conversation as tedious to do over texting.

    I assume that these questions are not theoretical but specifically about communication with one particular person.  If that is the case then best to ask that person directly for each of us are different in our communication styles and preferences.

    Dull and boring are subjective.  Enriching is subject to interpretation.

    HI JHK

    To be upfront the cell phone I own was made in the 1990’s. It only use is to make calls and I only turn it on when I’m calling out. To be frank I don’t want to be called or texted when I’m out with other people, shopping, out for a walk…. so my feeling on the matter of texting are biased. I understand its use to make arrangements, or reminders., general stuff of life stuff but as a enriching form of communication… Its not for me. Not to say it cant be done.
