两个以上可能会“太过”，而少于两个则可能给人明显“冷淡”的印象。明确的禁忌是等待对方先发短信。

Half of the 1,500 Brits quizzed in the study said it was important for their potential love interest to make contact first - which means the other half of daters will be left disappointed.

受访的1500名英国人中有一半表示，潜在的恋爱对象先联系自己很重要——这意味着另外一半的约会对象会感到失望。

It seems that playing it cool is not in vogue anymore either. A third of respondents said they would text back within a quarter of an hour, with only five percent saying they’d wait as long as two hours.

看来“装酷”也不时尚了。三分之一的受访者表示，他们会在15分钟内回复短信，只有5%的人说他们会等长达两个小时后再回复。

Just 23 percent of people think that texting back straight away is a sign of being “too keen” with the majority of Brits saying they are happy to get right back in contact with a love interest.

仅23%的人认为立即回复短信是“太急切”的信号，大多数英国人表示他们很高兴立即收到爱慕对象的回复。

However, when it comes to communicating online it becomes even stickier territory.

然而，当涉及到网上交流时，这就变成更加棘手的领域。
