How many times have you been on a swiping app and you accidentally went left on someone you liked? We’ve all done it, and it’s probably the most frustrating thing on those apps. Even if you swipe perfectly, though, you’ll still be faced with the texting style conversations with you matches.
Texting is an amazing tool for daily life, but it can’t replace the real feeling of speaking to someone—voice to voice. A certain kind of intimacy can’t happen through text. Unfortunately, most swiping apps don’t offer the ability to actually talk to your potential partners.
If you’re looking for more intimacy in your relationships, phone chats are the way to go. Whether you’re building friendships or more, chatting with someone on the phone gives you more reasons to smile. You can hear the person behind the texts and relate in a much closer way. Little nuances in our voices are just as much a part of our personality as what we’re saying.
There is nothing better than telling someone a joke and hearing their authentic laugh. That’s something you don’t get with texting. LOL means nothing once you hear how loud their laugh is—how genuine. People take joy in hearing each other react to what we say, and calls give that option for an extra dose of happiness.
Living in a world that operates through texts is one of the most convenient times to be in, but texting isn’t the only option. With a phone call, you can enjoy a better view into someone’s personality without accidentally swiping the wrong way, or hoping for meaningful text. If you want to get to know someone in a more personal way, and feel joy while doing it, try phone calls instead of texting.
