“b mine” “I <3 u” “ur hot” – not exactly sonnets, but these little love notes are what today’s teenagers are most likely to send and receive on February 14…
According to a survey of 705 textPlus users ages 13-17:
- Nearly 40% said they think it’s ok to tell someone “I love you” for the first time via text message, and 35% have actually done it
- 35% of those who choose to say “I love you” in text don’t spell out the word “love” – they use the common text symbol <3 (a heart)
- And often they’re not careful – 30% admitted to accidentally texting “I love you” to the wrong person at least once!
Clearly the rules of love are changing in the digital age – so what does a romance today look like? textPlus resident “textpert” Drew Olanoff offers these tips for texters in love:
2. Send your Valentine a photo of you blowing a kiss or making a heart shape with your hands – visuals can be sweet
3. Surprise your significant other by texting “open the door” or “look outside” and be ready and waiting with a bouquet of flowers
4. Long distance? Use tech tools like textPlus Face Text to hold a real-time text conversation with photos
5. No Valentine this year? Group texting and communities of friends are the perfect place to commiserate together
