Short, fast and often from a moving vehicle. Crimsons send the plan, not the feelings about the plan, and expect a reply in minutes. A three-hour silence can read as a no. If you text a Crimson, put the question in the first line; if you are a Crimson, add one warm word before the logistics.
Texting tips for Crimsons
- Put a warm word before the logistics, and don't read a slow reply as a no.
- Add one personal line before the question, and a thank-you after the answer.
- Answer the practical question first, then share the tangent.
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 can't take this on without dropping something important. Which would you rather I pause?"
- After a tense moment: "I know I changed the plan on you. Let's agree which parts are fixed and which can move."
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: Cobalt, Amber, Coral, Emerald, Violet, Gold, Sage.
