Bottom line: The OP comes off as completely ridiculous to any sensible person of any age, having a conniption fit about text expectations.
All it represents is just one more incarnation of the childish stomping of feet and gnashing of teeth, and howling, "HEY! LISTEN TO ME. PAY ATTENTION TO ME. MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME!WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME???????"
The fact that a phone is involved makes it even more ridiculous, but the truth is, the implicit attitude would be ridiculously immature no matter the medium or venue.
As the OP, theres a couple things I'd like to make clear
I actually prefer to talk on the phone or face to face. However most girls in their early 20s hate that so I text. I dont blow up girls' phones with texts. what gets me mad is that its like this
Me: Hey Jessica hows it going
Jessica: Fine, you
Me: Just wanted to said I had fun meeting you last night
Jessica: K
Me: Would you like to go have lunch on Thursday?
Jessica: K
Me: For sure, is 12:30 good?
Then BAM....nothing for hours and hours and hours, then about 7-9 hours later
Jessica: Sorry, I'm such a bad texter. I had to shave my cat then I had to go downtown to meet my mom, and traffic on I-4 was real bad and there was a 10 car pileup, and I'm just getting back now
Me: K
Jessica: And yea I wont be able to make it Thursday, I'm going to be real busy for the next 3 weeks non-stop, even though I only work 15 hours a week at Target and dont go to college
Me: Whatever, I'll just delete your number, I'm not gonna waste my time
Jessica: K
I know that these chicks who claim to be bad texters may just not be that into me, and that is totally fine. But if they werent interested, then why did they give me their number, and then play these text tag games? If you dont like me say so, or lie and say you have a bf or are a lesbian like a 20-something women should do. If I'm single, and you're single, why play games?

This. Why this is so hard for the 40 year old women here to understand is beyond me.
And yeah, sorry OP, that's just a thread with a girl that's not into you. Sometimes just giving you their number and then being aloof when you try to get a date with them is easier than straight up rejecting you.

you're probably right, but why should she waste her time as well as mine giving me her number, and then either giving one word replies 45 minutes after I text her for 4-6 days. I wont text a girl EVERYDAY unless she texts me first. I try to text every 2-3 days to make it seem like I am busy even if I'm not, this is also so I dont appear to be thristy
Usually after 3 texts, I get the hint that its going nowhere and will just write a girl out of my life if she's gonna be that way. I dont play these games and Ive gotten sick and tired of it, which is why I posted this thread

What's hilarious is that here everyone says how much they hate games, and you go and make a post that you don't deal with the games.. as soon as you do you're attacked by so many of the women on here
It's funny how that works. Either way, you're doing it right. If a girl doesn't respond to your texts right away she's probably not interested and it's not going anywhere. Every once in a while it happens, but certainly not regularly

Thats the thing, is I've just gotten over the frustration of the "bad texting" games and I've reached a boiling point with it. When I try to communicate with a girl, I'd rather talk over the phone, or in person. If I really like her, it makes me feel so good to hear her voice, or be in her presence. Like its just her and I. Texting is fine if one of us is busy or both, but I prefer not to use it as a main source of communication
There was a girl who I was recently seeing, and she told me she was a bad texter. yet we always talked or texted, and hung out quite a lot. She liked me but there were other things in place on noth sides that caused it to fail. Her short temper, her knowitallness and my insecurities and gross over analysis of the situation
Case in point, whether a girl claims to be a bad texter or not, if she likes you enough, she'll make the effort
Likely gave you her number so as not to offend you.
That was his point though, someone who does this is usually uninterested and it's pointless to continue
