The Dos and Don’ts
   of textuality




WIND Mobile has partnered with textuality in advance of the film’s premiere to bring
together a group of Toronto’s most experienced and well-respected dating and lifestyle
bloggers. The mission: to use the power of conversation and discuss textuality—the art and
science of dating, mating and hooking up in our modern, hyper-connected world. To impart
the wisdom of this group on the textually impaired, WIND Mobile now brings you The Dos
and Don’ts of textuality.
You meet someone and want to get their digits, what do you
                                                                      That little “R” on BBM
ask for?


Do Ask for their phone            Don’t Add them on                   Do REMEMBER. THEY                Don’t Read the
number OR their BlackBerry        Facebook. Stalking is a crime.      KNOW YOU’VE READ IT. Please      message until you’re prepared
PIN, but not both. You don’t                                          respond within 15 minutes.       to respond. That little “R”

The new three-day rules                                               What is the best way to contact someone you really like?



Do Text the next day if           Don’t Be too eager or               Do Pick up the phone and         Don’t Add them to

is non-committal and gives you    premature, but a text after three   is more powerful than a text.    them (see note about stalking).
the chance to feel them out.      days and that ship has sailed.




Text timing                                                           So you decided to call and they screened...


Do Text them when you’re          Don’t Text them when                Do Send them a text              Don’t Leave a voicemail.

you’re thinking of them.          think of them.




Texting while impaired                                                Text language etiquette



Do Find a designated              Don’t Text ANYTHING you             Do Use “haha” it’s warm          Don’t Use “LOL” it’s so
wingman, someone who will         wouldn’t say in the light of day.
revoke your right to text until   There is nothing worse than the     and fun.                         2009.
you can walk a straight line.     digital walk of shame.
