This is because it makes it far easier for her to make plans and communicate with her friends and family when she isn’t with them. Texting is almost like a tease to actually being together, in her eyes it makes her want to talk to and spend time with someone even more.

When texting or using any other type of social media that is online, all that is seen is a bunch of text bubbles with words in them. Yes, emojis will be seen, but that is pretty much it besides the rare photo. On a different not, talking in person allows all of these things to happen.
