Mistake #6: Texting your troubles

Women wary of confrontation may try to prevent arguments by bringing up sore spots in texts and emails, instead of face-to-face or via phone.

But all this tactic does is stop true intimacy, says Callahan.

Plus, “it’s cowardly to avoid what needs to be talked about,” she adds.

Dating tip: To take your romance to the next level, you need to up your communication method – by picking up the phone, she adds.
