We all know the rule that you should be avoiding constant texts with men. Foremost, you want to make sure you life is full where you aren't always on your phone. If you're at work, you should be focused fully on it. If you're working out, don't read his messages between your sets. If you're reading...actually read.

But the tip that worked for me was: I mute their conversations. I literally forget about them because I don't see a notification. Then, I'll go through and reply when I have time to. It lets me dictate when we talk and it drives them wild.
