  1. Does this mean the capitalized "I" or does it just imply referring to yourself by saying "I"? I-ther way, heh heh, that is an interesting connection. I would never have made it, that's for sure.

    Another question, they studied "10 days of instant-message conversations from nearly 70 U.S. couples who had been dating for about one and a half years and had an average age of 19." Where did they find couples that were 19 years old and had been dating for 1 1/2 years? I know when I was in High School that 2 months was long, let alone a year and half. I think that in and of itself says something, it would be interesting if they studied a different population I think.

    I do like the list of indicators that your relationship is going sour though, because I think that these can be seen not just in text messages, but every day conversation as well.
