is texting that important?

It can be a blessing and a burden I'm talking to a girl right now we both like each other but have never met so I feel it's more comfortable for both of us just to text, plus skype or a telephone call you kind of have to be prepared for if you are going to have a long conversation that is. Like I can't call her at work and same with her plus I have school and I can't call her then or when I'm doing homework but quick texts are easy and I can do them whenever. Once her and I meet I think we will start talking on the phone and skype and such more.
