As an English major, don't bother messaging me if you can't write out you, are, for, see, or be. I can understand using u, r, 4, c, or b in text message where you are limited in characters. But in a message or email, make the effort to sound like you have at least a minimal education if you want to meet me.
NOT an English major, but it still gives me a bad impression - whenever someone writes like that they come across as borderline illiterate to me - I type
everything, even proper punctuation, when I text - even though it takes much longer to type...
