I read the following in — of all places — ESPN’s Soccernet. (Talk about a weird location for something like this.)
When you get a text from your loved one saying something like ‘Love You’ or some other pithy comment, the proper response is, apparently, to text back straight away ‘Love You Too’ and, for best practice, add something equally as meaningful and romantic.

Tell you what: how ’bout I just let her tell you how she feels?
I’m sorry, but I’d have to have a few drinks before I’d even talk to him… If I ended up married to him, I’d have to become an alcoholic.
Ouch.
