obv there’s no substitute for face to face chatting, but when you aren't sitting across from the person and the texts go from an hour apart to 5 min to suddenly just rapid fire back to back real time texting you know theres some chemistry building. like yeah we could prolly facetime or something at that point but it’s such a giddy feeling realizing that you paused what you were watching 30 min ago to respond to a text and now you’re waist deep in paragraph long responses. also everyone is smoother over text that little time buffer makes all the difference
