LOS ANGELES — For weeks you've been exchanging paragraph-long text messages with your crush, but they've yet to ask you out on an official date — and now you're starting to feel antsy.
Perhaps you've dropped subtle hints that you'd like to meet them IRL — like mentioning the upcoming release of a movie that you've both shown interest in seeing — but they haven't picked up on it. Or maybe you've already gotten into the habit of sending "good morning" and "good night" texts to each other on a daily basis, even though you haven't had any face-to-face interactions yet.
You might have unwittingly fallen into what some relationship experts call a "texting trap" or a "textuationship," which is a relationship that exists solely on your phone.
