If you've been texting with someone back and forth, send them a voice note back as an answer to one of their questions.

It's a patent break. They're hearing your voice. You stand out to them. You're three-dimensionally.

Now we did have a voice note from Emily Peel posing a challenging question. So here is Emily Peel.

Hi, Jams. It's Emily from Melbourne. I'm doing a voice memo because it's relevant to my question,

we've been chatting to on a dating site to get to know them a bit better. And so I've suggested

something very odd about that. And yet, you're someone who probably, if I were to create categories

of people, I would probably put you in the category of people that aren't big talkers on the phone.

Well, not even, yeah, but if I'm, that's true in general, but if I'm getting to know someone

and dating, I prefer talking on the phone to texting quite honest.
