Actress Ginnifer Goodwin has issued a warning to potential suitors - don't try to seduce her by sending dirty text messages.

The single star, 30, prefers more traditional dating techniques and is often disappointed when a new man she's seeing doesn't pick up the phone to call.

She says, "Our communication skills are plummeting. People don't know how to relate. You can have whole relationships via flirt text (and) never make verbal contact." And the actress is even more baffled by the growing trend of steamy texts between couples, because the messages can easily be misconstrued.

She adds, "You know about textual harassment? That's a new phenomenon. It's like text sex, but you only have a few lines to get across to your partner what exactly it is (you want) to get across. It's explicit. It's dirty. You also don't know what that person is doing with their phone, to whom they're showing their phone, then you're like a text slut. It's dangerous. I'm not a fan."
