When your phone goes off after 11 PM, it’s easy to get that little rush. Heart beating, you flip it open and there it is: that “Oh baby I want you so much” text that can make your self-confidence skyrocket. “Yes!” you think. “A drunk guy wants me! I’m awesome!!” As long as it takes you to fluff up your hair and hail a cab … you’re there. There are a lot of things to love about the late-night booty text (LNBT).

Oh, Facebook. It used to be so simple. Put up a cute pic, flirt, get Poked. And then FB went and got an Extreme Makeover. Remember the old Wall, the one that didn’t even show the author of the Wall post? Now it’s been nipped, tucked, and plumped up with every bit of your recent Facebook activity. In between the posts from friends, there are recent photos, status updates, new hobbies, links you’ve shared, videos you’ve liked, parties you’ll be attending, friends you’ve accepted. It knows more about you than …
It’s always exciting to get that e-mail from Facebook telling you a potential love interest has friended you. Whether it’s a new crush in class or the guy you met at the bar, it gives you a rush. “He wants to BE MY FRIEND!” you think. “This is the start of something wonderful!” You can flirt on each other’s Walls and send private messages. Maybe it is the start of something wonderful … until it isn’t anymore. Whether it was cheating, “irreconcilable differences,” or just a gradual fade-out, you may …
These days, technology can take you wherever you want to go. Plane tickets are booked online and GPS can help you get across the country with the touch of a button. Of course, your cell phone can take you wherever you want to go, too. You don’t need a travel agent — a well-written text can be your one-way ticket to the bedroom.

Once you’ve been dating someone for a while and are comfortable enough to talk about new positions over brunch, you can send him X-rated stuff. But if you’ve been dating for less than a month, it’s best to keep it PG-13. The point of these texts is to tease — you …
