If you're texting with someone new and all of their replies are one-word answers, or they used to text you longer messages and have recently become monosyllabic, that's a red flag. Either this person is not that into you, or they aren't able to carry on a conversation.

Read More »Back in the day, most relationships began face to face. That may have limited the dating pool, but at least you were able to get a decent read on someone right away. Today, so many of our relationships begin over text, and while the advent of the internet and dating apps means it's much easier to meet a ton of people, we have also had to learn a whole new dating skill set, including being able to recognize red flags while texting someone to help screen for weirdos. Knowing someone’s toxic texting "tell" can save you a lot of time and potential heartache. Like just about everyone, I read and was instantly obsessed with "Cat Person," a fictional short story published in the New Yorker, because I felt like it was practically my biography. The details of my own experiences weren't exactly the same, but the spirit? Oh yes, that was painfully familiar. For those who haven’t read the story, it’s about a young woman who meets an awkward older man, and the two develop a relationship over text, where she begins to invent a whole new person while ignoring the red flags. It culminates with a bad sexual experience and a breakup over text that, predictably, doesn't go well. In hindsight, all she needed to know was in his early texting behavior. Rather than focusing on that and cutting him loose, however, the protagonist found ways to justify the behavior. Been there? Yeah, same. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are eight things you should think about next time you start texting someone new to know if they are even worth your time.

It's a PUA (pick-up artist) strategy to "neg" you over text. On its own, it's clearly lame, but more importantly, it’s a sign of a larger misogynistic dating philosophy that, trust me, you want no part of.
