Send audio notes or call instead of texting.

Studies show that it’s common for people to misinterpret text messages, even from romantic partners, while voice is rich with tone and less vulnerable to misinterpretation.  Recording a quick voice message is often faster and less stressful than typing out each letter.

Note: Sometimes people are not in an environment where they can listen to an audio note, so be patient with your expectations of response time.
