Love is a many splendored thing indeed, chock-full of surprises– the chasing game, the butterflies in your stomach, and the feeling of euphoria and excitement when you’ve finally defined the relationship (yes!), with a passion and kilig-filled honeymoon period. Thanks to text messaging, it’s improved our way of communication in our relationships!

Here are 8 texts sent by newly-dating couples versus those in long-term relationships.
