SMSing “break up” is all about perspective.
When we’ve brought up the idea of people smsing when they don’t want to go out with someone again (obviously before anything substantial has been built between the two people), people’s reactions were pretty strongly against the idea.
Here’s the problem. People are comparing SMSing a break up with phoning a break up.
Um, dunno if you heard but many many people aren’t phoning. So I think it’s wrong to compare smsing to phoning. It should be compared to leaving the person hanging.
And if you have to decide between not hearing anything from the person ever or getting at least a short sms saying, thanks but no thanks, good luck with everything, which one would you choose?
