When Should You Text Your Boyfriend?

how often should you text your boyfriend?

Reading The Rules changed my love life – but reading the new rules has prepared me even more, especially when it comes to texting. So if you want to know how to proceed with texting your boyfriend, including when you should text back, then read The Rules!

“All Rules Girls know not to call men and to rarely return their calls, a Rule that still applies today. But technology has changed so much in the last fifteen years that a text cannot always be treated in the exact same way.

A guy will call again if he doesn’t get you, but texting is sort of like a phone call that reaches you every time: there’s never a bad time for either party and it’s never intrusive.”

Fein, Ellen; Schneider, Sherrie (2013-01-08). The New Rules: The dating dos and don’ts for the digital generation from the bestselling authors of The Rules (pp. 46-47). Piatkus. Kindle Edition.

What To Do If Your Boyfriend Is Taking You For Granted

UNFORTUNATELY, Valentines day is coming up.

I say unfortunately because some of us dread it.

I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SINGLE ONES, EITHER.

Valentines Day is definitely one of the biggest opportunities you get in the whole timespan of your relationship to see if you are being taken for granted.

So are you? If not, you’re a lucky bitch. Quite literally.

What To Read When Your Boyfriend Doesn’t Text You Back

How long should I wait to respond to his text message? Can I friend him on Facebook? Why did he ask for my number but never call me?

I am so excited that the rules have been refreshed, updated and republished for 2013!

(For a discussion on all things rules-related, head to the forum!)

When The Rules was published in 1995, its message was straightforward: be mysterious. But for women looking for love today, it’s not quite so simple. In a world of instant messaging, location check-ins, and status updates, where hook-ups have become the norm and formal one-on-one dates seem a thing of the past, it’s difficult to retain the air of mystery that keeps men interested.

Now, with help from their daughters, the original Rules Girls Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider share their thoroughly modern, fresh take on dating that will help women in today’s information age create the happy love lives they want and deserve. Whether you’re a 20-something dating for the first time, a 30-something tired of being single, a 40-something giving advice to your daughter, or a 50-something getting back in the dating game, this book has the answers you’ve been waiting for. The Rules include:

Stay Away from his Facebook Profile
Make Yourself Invisible and Other Ways to Get Out of Instant Messaging
Stop Dating a Guy Who Cancels More than Once
Text-Back Times Chart
Don’t Just Hang Out or See Him 24/7
TTYL: Always End Everything First– Get Out of There!
And much, much more!

Providing the dos and don’ts you need to stop making mistakes and start finding romance, NOT YOUR MOTHER’S RULES will revolutionize dating today just as The Rules did nearly 20 years ago!

Buying for Barcelona!

I have some news that I’ve been SO excited to reveal to my glammies… but OOPS the title did it for me! Yes I am going to Barcelona!

Well actually, I’m moving there! For a whole YEAR!

So without further adieu, I’ll show you some of the “necessary” shopping I’ve been doing. Sorry for the quality of the following pictures, I had to rely on room lighting as sadly it has been a completely dull, grey and wet late-summer here in Glasgow.

Here’s a sneek-peek of my favourite purchases for Españaaa!!!

The first thing I bought was this absolutely gorgeous pair of leggings from Mela Loves London! I first seen them online on New Look but they had ran out of my size when I finally had the cash to buy them – but House of Fraser came to the rescue as they had them in stock. They have a lovely silky feel, I love the paisley print and the green and pink mix! I think they were a steal at around 12 pounds.

I also got some basic black calf-length leggings with an elegant lace trim at the bottom from New Look, they look really nice with these adorable nude patent peep-toes!

These Black Havaianas…OMG! I cannot tell you just how comfy these are, perfect for touristy stuff and checking out Barcelona‘s shops for hours upon end. A lot of people might question spending £20 on a pair of plain black flip flops but honestly you get what you pay for and there’s a reason why they are always sold out online at summer time, so many girls love them!

Usually I’m very wary about lacey things, I only own one lace top and that is a loose racerback vest but I have to say this cream lace top from Vero Moda really caught my eye and when I tried it on I was delighted =) Very flattering even for the voluptuous types like me!

I’ve had my eye on this floral playsuit from New Look for a while but finally snapped it up when I saw it on sale for 8 pounds! Can’t say no to a price like that and it’ll get some wear if Barcelona’s heat is any better than Glasgow’s…which I’m sure it is! Love the buttons on this too.

Finally, another pair of shoes which I am suuureee you’ve seen before, again from the cheap and cheerful New Look! The small little gold “studs” on these babies are what first attracted me to these little pumps but I’m not sure how long they’ll last so I plan to keep them away from moisture at all costs. My feet usually take a while to adjust to new look shoes, especially at the heel but these just seem to gel perfectly.

As I’m a pretty err…busty girl, I need to be careful when shopping because I have this dilemna about whether to buy the size that fits my waist but barely makes it over my chest or to buy a bigger size which consequently makes me look bigger. So I was so excited when I found out that the lingerie experts Bravissimo also sell CLOTHES! So after having a look on the Pepperberry website, I picked out a couple of cute blouses. These blouses are made in standard UK clothing sizes BUT also with the option of choosing a bust size too. So I got a 14 super curvy, that should cater to both my waist and chest! The downside to this is that they are quite pricey as they’re basically tailored.They haven’t arrived yet so I’ll update you on the fit and quality!

Naturally, I also bought tonnes of beauty stash for my year long trip! I decided to be brave and splash on bigger versions of my faves, so I’ll do a post on them soon and you can take my word for it that these beauty goodies are the business and have The Glam Guide’s seal of approval!

Next time glammies n’ glamettes!

What To Do When Your Boyfriend Doesn’t Text Back

So it’s midnight and you’re still awake, yet complaining you are tired and want to sleep…

Why does this happen pretty much every night?

Ooh, er…cos you’re still waiting on his text. Again. For the nth night running.

Still. Waiting. On. Him.

But you just want to know he’s okay before you rest your head to sleep on that lovely pillow… but how can you sleep?!?! Isn’t it ‘SO WIERD’ he hasn’t texted yet?!?!

For the love of all, please let me help you.

Let’s start with a quiz to gauge where you’re at. Be honest, when waiting for your BF to respond, do you:

A) text him asking “are you ok?????”

B) text him “have I done something 2 upset u? txt bk xoxoxoxoxoxox” (please never do this)

C) call him. (forget it)

D) Watch a film, scoff your face with one hand and hold your phone in the other.

E) Calm down, put your wig back on and read this. (pick this one)

a) Do you want to make your current boyfriend want you more?
or
b) Do you want to be with mr right?

If you’re answer is a), head to this article and then this one. But please be aware that this guy is probably not Mr Right…
