If you don&#8217;t like texting, advise the potential partner not to read too much into your way of writing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you&#8217;d like to hear from your match more often, try positive reinforcement. When someone sends you a message,<strong> let them know how much you enjoyed receiving it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Less is more. <\/strong>Let them know that you&#8217;ve noticed they don&#8217;t like sending messages, but that you would appreciate hearing from them even briefly, for example with a message saying &#8220;thinking of you&#8221; or a meme that reminds them of you, just to make you feel like you&#8217;re on their mind.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on Grazia.it<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42690,"featured_media":89803,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[6939,38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Online Dating, Beware of the Digital Body Language - Grazia USA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the secrets of digital body language in online dating.
