Having Conversations via Text Message

[My Name is Nobody]

Why is it every girl I see wants to have these long conversations via text message? I made a huge mistake and had text convos with the last girl I was seeing, and the entire relationship consisted of talking via text.

So I made a promise that I will only send texts that are funny and witty that will make her laugh and raise her interest.

So that is what I have been doing, but she is still texting me details about her day trying to converse with me. She just texted me a long paragraph about "blah blah blah, and blah blah blah, my day was this and that and more blah blah blah"

So what would you guys do here, ignore these texts or reply something funny?

Just remove txt messaging I beleive it's the worst F*** thing ever invented. If someone wants to communicate with me, they have to call me. I don't even use MSN or facebook anymore. I still use e-mail thought

Well, I just replied to her "My phone is not a typewriter. If you want to talk CALL ME!"

I'm not removing texts from my phone it's a great way to make her laugh and raise interest if you use it correctly. The girls love texting don't remove it completely. I still love getting texts from the ladies. Just don't BECOME a lady and use texts to have conversation. A man uses a text message to make her laugh and therefore raising interest that is all we use it for.

Now let's see if she calls.

I definitely agree with that.

Texting is a dead-end, unless you're seeing each other regularly, and things are happening....and then only for short jokes, or short messages or whatever.

For you guys texting is a dead-end, but for me and other high schoolers it is the accepted norm. Mainly due to our constant lack of funds. If i were to call a girl she would be incredibly shocked (which may be a good thing very rarely), and it would make me seem very desperate to talk to her. This is becasue I will probably see her the next day anyway.

However, since we would see each other on a near daily basis anyway the fluff talk is left for 'face to face' and 90% of texting all the other time is playful and/or sexual.


In summary, its quite ok for high schoolers to text (it wont send you broke at least). But not so much if you aren't seeing the girl all the time, like you older guys.

how about college age? i never really texted until i started college... it's basically the essential way of communicating amongst most people i know (though i still prefer calling... guess i'm old fashioned :trouble

anyway, i think texts and IMs are acceptable/ normal till like 23-24, then it comes across as an immature form of communicating.

The thing about texting is.. girls love doing it.

Text them back when and if you have time.

But do it sparingly.

If you don't feel like responding to a TXT essay, call her up. If you don't feel like calling her up, then just ignore it.

Additionally, with girls that txt alot, responding to a few TXTs and then ignoring the next few is a great way to mess with her head if you really wanted to play that card. She will be glancing at her phone every 10 mins wondering why you haven't txt'd her back all of a sudden.

If you're a game player thats a way to raise interest...

What I do is not respond to her for like 5 minutes after reading it, then reply to her text. I remember one time talking to a girl for an hour via texting and we only exchanged like 10 texts. And she would always do her best to keep the convo alive with questions and details about what we were talking about.

Thrust me mate, calling each other is even worse, considering it will cost alot more! I had a time where my ex just called me like 6 hours, I was half sleeping, half awake just babbeling random sh*t, she just didn't wanna feel alone i guess. anyway if she calls you, even keep that short, cause the bills will stack and she'll expect you to call to, so it's not only her bills
