I think texting is fun.

the million pound question is why?

Texting was like the "thing" a few years ago...there's better ways to communicate now. [like online]. :')

It's an inexpensive way to have a good conversation? There's never any awkwardness because you have time to think of a response.

There really isn't. They're overcomplicating things.
