It started off really good (as it always does) constantly texting every day for 2 months. No breaks at all, just continuous conversations. He asked me lots of questions and always asked how my day had been. But recently he’s been letting it go 2-3 days with no replies then popping back up again. He’s always active on fb apart from when he’s at work and I know he’s talking to other girls because he made it clear right from the beginning that we weren’t exclusive and has added a few new girls. He’s asked me to meet him previously but I had to say no because I was busy the days he suggested. We were supposed to be having a second date at his but he cancelled because of work and asked me when I was next free and said we could go out instead and do something fun. It’s irrational I know but I was very annoyed that he cancelled and sent a very bland text back telling him my free day and ending it with a simple “fair enough.” He hasn’t replied to that so do I reach out first or wait and see if he gets in touch again?
Miss_AspiringContinuous conversations every day for 2 months? That is starting off WAY too strong if you ask me. Of course the texts are going to decrease. That level of extreme communication is not sustainable, and both of you need some space from it. How many times have you actually met this guy?
To answer your question, wait for him to get in touch again. The only true measure of interest is the time he spends with you, not how often he texts you.
Options2I know most girls don’t like to hear it.
Daily texts really mean nothing if you just start dating.
Best is to run away from daily text in the beginning.
Guys careless when they text at the beginning and girls care more because of the texts. The girls themselves help to create the imbalance. They get upset and wonder what happen.
You have lot better chance to text less at the beginning and meet more FaceTime with the guys.
I text no guys in the beginning and it always work for me.
HappyA lot of texting and no dates means low interest
A lot of dates and minimal texting means high interest.
This is all women really need to know, unless he makes time to spend in person, you are wasting your time.
StefanieHere is what I write in my online dating profile:
“The end game for being here is to talk and meet in person sooner rather than later. If there’s mutual interest I will want to talk with you and see you. I’d like to know the real you. Therefore, until we have met I do not text, Whatsapp, FaceTime, Skype or engage on any other social media. Thank you for understanding.”
Guys who text me to say anything other than to ask me for a date and sort out logistics for the date get ignored. This saves me a great deal of time and energy.
kayeAre you saying there was two months of daily texting and yet you were just getting around to a 2nd date which he just cancelled!?! First off you are absolutely right that the 2nd date should be him taking you out and doing something fun and not an at home date at his place!! It sounds like he is talking and seeing other girls and therefore doesn’t have the time to fit you into his schedule. As some of the others have said his interest level is very low where you are concerned. It shouldn’t take this long to plan a 2nd date when a guy is interested. I’m sure he sensed your frustration in your last text to him and that’s why he hasn’t contacted you. Again, if a guy was interested he would want to make sure you knew he only canceled because he absolutely had to and he would be concerned about hurting your feelings. This guy frankly doesn’t seem to care.
TeriThere is a forum or a thread on here that talks of this very thing. Wish people would read it before asking about his texting habits.
What everyone has said here is factual, don’t ignore it or expect anything more. I’m with everyone else on this. But I’d like to also know have you ever met in person in the 2months???
I haven’t dated online in almost 2yrs simply b/c I don’t have the time to dedicate while raising my two kids. But I did meet and do meet guys in various public settings. For the most part i dont get caught up until a date is set. Most times, the date is set and we move forward. Other times we just talk on the phone once or twice, nothing is sparked and I let it go.
Some call back oddly just to talk, but nothing more. I don’t get why but whatever right? I think they get turned off by my limited time to actually date which is ok b/c the guy who is right for me will not let that hinder him.Please please do not put much credence into a mans texting style. From what I learned here they are not texters the same way we are and they don’t put much credence into our texting styles……..in person & phone conversations are where the meat & potatoes of a relationship really lie.
NY2GAgirlI use to let this bother me before I came to this forum.
Once I read the articles on what texting means to men vs women I stopped fretting.
My bf use to text a lot to in the early beginning. but we also saw each other and talked on the phone. His text were usually brief, like gm have a great day, or good night, talk to you tomorrow or something to that effect. If I’m at work and he has or we have to talk about something we’re planning is the only time we text a lot during the day. I can’t always spend time on the phone neither can he.
Now here we are after a year and I notice he can text a lot when he’s mad about or worried about something. for him it was better to write it out than verbal. I didn’t prefer that method but at least it kept us talking. Once that issue dissolved, it was back to short text and regular phone calls, in person meetings.
I have a sister who also loves text wars, they say it helps keep a record of things and make sure there no misunderstanding………but that’s not your question i know.
If all ya’ll are doing is texting and not meeting then this decrease in text will only decrease more sorry.
IslaI’ve been dating a guy for a little over a month, he’d text everyday frequently. Five days ago he stopped and the the emails went to one a day. Today he hasn’t at all. He’s stopped responding and doesn’t reply to me or questions. Im worries as it’s not like him at all. Should I ask him if we are ok? I mean I may not like the answer but it’s better then waiting
peggyHi Isla-No,don.t ask. He will either contact,ask you out again soon-maybe he has been distracted or busy with something,or he won’t. If another few days goes by with nothing happening-then that is your answer,isn’t it?
If he does take you out,you could have a general talk about communication and what is usual for him etc. If he tails off,then I would leave it,move on. Sorry,it is disappointing when these things happen.KathyI just don’t know why all these women need SO much communication.. I personally don’t want that much communication until I know they guy is really interested in me. It keeps me from attaching so much until that happens.. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
AnonWhat’s with the resurrection of all these old posts???..
