Maintenance Texts are something everyone has sent at some point in their lives, even if they’re happily committed in a relationship or marriage. A maintenance text is one of those text messages that you send to people who you would someday like to date or commit to, but at the time you’re happy being a swinging bachelor or bachelorette. Usually, the receiver of maintenance texts are people whom you’ve either slept with, had a previous crush on, or simply flirted with continuously over a long period of time.
The purpose of sending those messages are just to maintain some connection with that person, and to keep yourself in the back of their mind. Basically, you don’t want them to forget about you entirely, even if you never see them or date with for another decade or more.
Maintenance Texts are not something that just single people send out either. In fact, the majority of maintenance texts are sent out by married people who may or may not be happy, but just want to keep their options open in case things don’t work out with their current partner. After all, with divorce rates over 50%, there is a damn good chance you might actually end up banging that maintenance receiver some day.
1. Every time its Sarah’s birthday, I always send her a few maintenance texts and happy birthday messages. I may be married, but she’s the hottest piece of ass I ever slept with back in college.
2. If you’re going to send maintenance texts to old flames, make sure your current partner NEVER gets a hold of your cell phone. Take it into the shower with you if you have to.
