Que mandar en los mensajes de texto a tu pareja

There are many ways to be romantic with your partner; some are easier performed than others. Sending romantic text messages - other than the cost should your cell phone plan not include them - are one the cheapest and easiest ways to show your love, and depending on how often you send them, they can also be one of the most surprising and touching. But what do you send?

Romantic Text Message Idea #1: Scavenger Hunt

This idea may take a little bit of planning but it is well worth it. The night before you plan on sending your romantic text messages, place some chocolate kisses around your partner's home or another location you know they'll be frequenting. This could be as simple as hiding a kiss in their purse, desk drawer or glove box in their car. Make a note of each place you hide the kiss for the next day. Then, send a romantic text message that will encourage them to check the secret hiding place, such as, "I can't wait to kiss you again. Think you can take for 30 seconds for one? Then check your glove box."

Even more adventurous partners could make a whole day out of the romantic scavenger hunt, going so far as to make each kiss a clue as to where the next one is. From there, the romantic text messages could spell out hints, suggestions or just provide supportive commentary while your loved one seeks out their love tokens.

Romantic Text Message Idea #2: Why I Love You

When is the last time you told your partner that you love them? How about when you explained why you love them? For a truly memorable series of romantic text messages, start the first one with, "Why I Love You". Then throughout the rest of the day, send more romantic text messages that explain exactly why you love them in greatdetail.

Some ideas to get you started:

• You bring out the best in me;
• I feel comfortable being myself when I'm around you;
• No one else has ever made me feel unique/cherished/______ like you do;

• You are a rare gem that exemplifies kindness/trust/_____;

Romantic Text Message Idea #3: Quote Love Poetry

To help women and guys use texting to their advantage, Nicole Beland, features director of Women's Health magazine and relationship expert, offers the following tips on improving your text life.

Texting Don'ts

Don't guess. If a message is cryptic or vague, wait until you're face to face with the sender to ask what the heck they were talking about. Texts leave so much to the imagination that it's easy to let wishful thinking or insecurity take over. When you get a message that makes no sense, respond with "What?! Let's talk l8tr!" Then stifle your urge to analyze.

Don't over-abbreviate. You want to be brief in a text message, but stick with terms and symbols that most people know and use. If you try to make up new texting terms on the spot, you'll end up sending gibberish.

Don't be a tease. Text-flirting is all fun and games—provided that you're being honest about your feelings. Verbal flirting is such a blast that it's easy to get carried away. Over-do the Sex & the City style banter and you run the risk raising someone's expectations only to hurt his or her feelings or, worse, attract an unwanted admirer.

Don't text angry. Sure, you can express general frustration with a 'Grrrr…" or a "Humph" or an "Ugh," but pick up the phone to hash things out. Attempt to resolve a volatile situation in 25-character bursts and you'll create a hot mess that will be hell to clean up.

Don't be rude or break bad news. Breaking up via text may be efficient, but it isn't classy—and in a hyper-connected culture, a bad reputation can spread fast. Any type of textual bad behavior is likely to get around.

Texting Do's

Do text sweet nothings. With today's crazed schedules, it can be hard to pick up the phone or even send an email. A short text like "Hey, qt," or "Hope ur havin a gr8 day, " can make your significant other suddenly happier to see you when you get home. 52% of texters surveyed said they'd rather receive a "Thinking of You" message than any other kind.

Do text long-distance. According to the AT&T survey, 15% of daters in long-distance relationships send texts more often than they email or call. Texting can create a surprising sense of connection because it's so immediate—you can send messages the second they pop into your mind. Even though you're miles away, your partner feels right there.

Do text before a first date. 34% of people surveyed agree that they'd feel more comfortable on a first date if they had exchanged texts beforehand. Keep pre-date communication light and fun. Ask about his or her favorite bands, movies, and places to hang out, then use the info to kickstart conversation when you're sitting across the table.

Do respond ASAP. Most people are never far from their cell phone, so if you don't reply within an hour or so, the other person will assume they're being ignored. As a matter of fact, the biggest texting turn-off according to the AT&T survey was a slow response. If you don't have time to answer, reply with something like "Stuck in mtg. Will hit you soon!" If you can't even do that, be sure to add "Sorry! Just got this," when you finally do text him or her back.

Sometimes all you need is a cue to get the creative juices going. Why not send one text message to start off a list that progresses throughout the time you are apart, beginning with, "How much do I miss you? Let me count the ways..." Then, use a number in front of each i miss you text message from now on in to show your partner you're still coming up with new reasons and ways you miss them, and make sure to be as specific as you can, such as:

• 1 - I miss you reminding me to get to bed early;
• 2 - I miss it when it rains and your hair goes all curly;
• 3 - I miss how you scrunch up your nose when you laugh;
• 4 - I miss how you smell when you get out of the bath.
