Do you send lots of text messages or do you prefer to speak to friends to make plans?
I send a lot of text messages to my friends because it's much more convenient and easier than talking about plans with them, plus I can send super funny stickers and emojis.
I usually meet up and speak directly to my friends to make plans, since sending messages takes lots of time, and we won't reach a conclusion faster.
Yes, I like to make plans to go out with my friends.
The "IDK" reminds me of a famous person hahaha, the tests were interesting.
I prefer to text to make plans and reach an agreement. Although it depends on the occasion.
