I like making plans. But I send many messages with my friend to talk about our plans. We talk too much.
I prefer to speak with my friends to make plans. I also send some messages for them but sometimes I prefer calling, it's more quickly, I think.
I prefer to make plans but I send many text messages to meet.
I like both but I prefer texting. IDK why but my friends show to be more excited online. In real life they don't show such interest. They agree in meeting with each other but don't really make a plan and end up forgetting afterwards.
I'm not really into writing and sending lots of text messages. I prefer to speak to friends to make plans. Sometimes I use text messages when I am short of time.
I wouldn't say I like online conversations, I prefer to talk in reality
I often send msg to my friends but I prefer to speak to them in person. Although it has become extremely convenient to stay connected with friends through online, Nothing beats meeting friends in person and catch up with them.
I prefer to speak to friends to make plans.
Even though there are a lot of communication ways I would like to speak way face to face when ı invite a friend for meet. Because when a person texts me or ı texts another person, there is a possibility of misunderstanding. Although we are using a lot of emojis when a person reads the sending message person could understand it wrong that's why ı prefer to speak on the telephone.
Sometimes I just want to text a lots to the one who I love the most among my friends when I feel lonley.Most of the time I just text my friend to make a plan or chilling at the outside.
