Communication has changed so much in the past few years with the introduction of smart phones. I mean, you don’t have to speak with anyone in person anymore! You can even have your phone type messages for you. There’s so little effort involved in communication now, and you can find out any detail with a quick Google search or glance at a Facebook page.

And like, how are you supposed to interact with your crush on social media? Should you tweet at them? Should you like that picture they posted on Instagram? Should you comment on their Facebook status? How should you act to not look like you’re cyber-stalking them? I’m always afraid that I’ll come across as overbearing if I like a guy’s picture on Instagram and then respond to a tweet like in the same day.

With communication being practically instant these days, are there still rules that apply? Should you text back instantly? What if he sees you typing in iMessage and then you stop typing and then he stops typing? What if you wait too long? What happens if he doesn’t respond?

You guys, I’m stressing myself out just thinking about all of this. I know if I’m texting someone I like, I try to pretend it’s just one of my friends. Would I wait three days before texting my friend? No. So there’s no reason to do that to my crush either, right?

In her latest Dear Danielle episode, Danielle Fishel is tackling these questions and giving some solid advice. She even channels her ’90s self to help out!
