Dear Abby,

I just started dating this guy and I'm so into him! We have similar interests and he's adorable, but I get nervous sometimes that I text him too much...I usually text him in the morning to say hello and in the afternoon to see what he's up to and a couple times in the evens just for small talk. Am I texting too much?

Texting in Manitowoc

Dear Texting,

It depends on the type of guy. Many guys out there LOVE texting, but since this is a new relationship, make sure you're not overwhelming him. I'm kind of thinking that 4 or 5 times in a day is too much. Once is ok, maybe twice. If he doesn't respond, you know he's annoyed, we don't want to scare him away, right?! Make sure you NEVER text him when you've been drinking, because we all know that is going to end in disaster. I would say maybe lay off a little. If you're unsure, ask him! He won't mind. He'd rather you ask than assume!
