Tiffany said. I know you said good morning texts are useless. I called them spam. Right, so you asked, do you tell the man you don't like these messages? Well, here's the thing. I'm always of the mindset that, like I would rather you not. I would rather you be positive in the way that you communicate. So it's not talking about what you don't like because a lot of people will feel rejected or inadequate when you say it like that. Instead you want to inspire men so you want to tell them what you do like and what you do prefer. So when he sends you a good morning message, you can be, oh, thanks so much for checking in on me. I would love to hear your voice. Why don't you call me at seven?
Yeah. So now he's inspired. Now he wants to call you and now you've gotten out of text purgatory.
