    Hi ladies.
    my BF and me got into relationship almost a month ago. we see each other twice per week. going out on dates depends on each other schedule. He is a very nice caring guy. Initially he texts me everyday Good morning. but now the text has decreased. like today, i have not heard a word from him. im not suspecting anything negative here at all. and I am not a heavy texter myself. The question here is: as much as I do not like texting heavy conversations and i do enjoy the space or going slow between us, but i do like to hear from him on a daily basis, like goodnight, good morning, have a nice day at work blah blah blah. is this normal? (i dont usually initiate text). or it is still too early stage of a relationship for this kinda thoughts? do i need to tell him what i think?
    thanks :)

    Send him a text then its all very well letting the man lead but you can give a little into things too. As long as youre cool about it then its not a big deal. I personally thing texting is over rated too but that might just be me. x

    Tell him you love his good morning texts and see what happens.

    I have not texted him anything yet, as I started questioning whats going on. This is the second day I have not heard anything from him yet.

    As often as you both are comfortable with… Don’t mistake texting for real communication.

    I think is up to the couple as we are all different but for me at the beginning of the relationship is when i cant stop thinking about the other person and if they feel the same they will be thinking about me all the time
    So texting is usually non stop. We keep in touch as we were together in person but of course if we are both at work we squeeze in the texts in our breaks. We talk non stop..Sweet! However i try and keep meeting up in person few times a week, not everyday! I hope it helps. I dot wait for him to contact me. I feel like missing him or have something to say i just say it, hey he likes to hear from you as well…Given he is into you!
    Its all about the same loving wavelength ..I found that guys especially if they are serious are a bit slow to admit and commit straight away…Also i don’t mind chasing. I go after what i want! Call it what you want! It works for me!

    Alicia, thank you.

    “Its all about the same loving wavelength” i completely agree with this. and after few failed experience and reading this forum, what taught me is its better to wait for him to initiate, as at this early stage of my relationship, only less than a month, as im still getting to know him better. one moment i think he is into me, the next day i didnt hear from him for the whole day.
    i actually got a text from him just now, “happy friday.”, good, but then he told me he would be working both saturday and sunday (we discussed we might go to san diego this wknd), now i guess we are not going. i replied “its okay and we can always go another wknd”. After reading so many “being ghosted” stories, not even sure where this is leading to. it gives me anxiety. :(

    I’m with Alicia here…go after what you want as long as it’s done respectfully to yourself. Men have feelings too. They also want to know where they stand. Like mentioned earlier in another post, when I ran my mouth to him, then later as in days calmed myself down I knew I had to call to apologize. But I was so afraid to call him for fear of rejecting me so I texted the apology instead. But I also told him of my fear. Did it matter if I might appear needy or whatever? YES! But it’s how I felt.
    Tell your guy how you feel.
