Thoughtful, punctual and full of checking-in. Corals remember your interview day and text before and after. They may feel hurt when care isn't returned in kind. If you text a Coral, say thank you specifically; if you are a Coral, it's fine to ask directly for what you need.
Texting tips for Corals
- Put a warm word before the logistics, and don't read a slow reply as a no.
- It's okay not to reply instantly, and okay to ask directly whether something is wrong.
- Not every plan needs to be confirmed in writing; a loose "see you Saturday" is fine.
Scripts that work by text
- Asking for something: "I'd love to move on this today. What would you need to feel ready?"
- Saying no: "I really want to help, and I can't take this on right now."
- After a tense moment: "When the plan changed without warning, I felt thrown. Can we agree how we handle changes?"
Texting and relationships
Texting is now a normal part of relationships: Pew Research Center found many couples use texts and messages to feel closer, and some use them to resolve arguments they couldn't have face to face. Differences in texting style are common sources of misunderstanding, so it's worth naming them out loud.
Compare styles: Crimson, Cobalt, Amber, Emerald, Violet, Gold, Sage.
