I never text chit chat. It's a huge waste of time and annoying. I text when I need something. And I don't ever check my phone. Stop living your life by handheld devices and interact with people like a human being.
Have any other guys gotten sick of girls telling them they're "bad texters?" I understand we have busy lives and whatnot but it doesn't take but 1 minute to say "hey I'm busy ttyl" instead you'll hear NOTHING at all. It's like one minute she takes .2 seconds to respond to your texts for hours, then BAM! Nothing, even though iMessage says she read your message. Ladies we don't need to keep you in check knowing brushing your doing but if you get busy let us know, don't just leave us hanging.
Sometimes it worse than that, sometimes girls take hours to reply to a simple "hey what's up" the reply of kts not the one worded "hey" is usually "sorry I'm a bad texter" BS you're not a bad texter, you're just texting 64 other dudes. These same girls who claim to be such "bad texters" CONSTANTLY have their phones in their hand when you do go on a date with them.
Ladies you need to stop that crap, it's just rude.
One of my major red flags with women is a bad texter.
Needy.. . needy... needy... and insecure too...
If I don't text back it means I can't/or I am busy/driving/eating/or have nothing to say at the moment. It should be understood without saying...
Rude is to EXPECT someone to drop everything the person is doing to text right back.
Be conscientious of others' schedules. Don't assume that because you are awake, bored, not busy, or sober that the person you're texting is as well.
BTW: constant texting and asking "hey, what's up" is annoying and does not invite to have a conversation. Besides, many people still like to... talk.
If a girl says that "she is a bad texter" is also means that she doesn't prefer this way of conversation...
I just noticed that my fiance sent me an informational text at about noon today, and one where he had a question at about 3 p.m. I'm sure he's not freaked out about my NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPONDING, because a. he's not crazy, b. he knows that I'm teaching all day and not on my phone, and c. we're not twelve.
It doesn't bother me that it might take someone an hour or something to reply to a text if that person is busy or just not in the mood to text or something.
But I expect that same kind of leisureness with me also. Sometimes I can't text. I'm at work/sleeping/doing something that takes my whole attention, so if it takes me an hour to reply back, it's usually because I was doing something else.
But, people know that if I'm not doing anything, I'll generally reply to them quickly. If nothing else, once I reply to you, I don't have to worry about it anymore until I get another text.
First of all, texting anything but the most basic communication is for complete nitwits. I cannot tell you how many threads I've read by somebody trying to figure out what the texter REALLY meant.
Just call her if you want immediate validation. And instead of worrying about texts, get out there and do something to keep yourself from thinking about said response.
Depends on the situation. My guy works from 6am-5pm or so, and I work 2pm-11pm or so and I can't be on the phone during work and neither can he. So, by the time I get home he's already asleep and when he gets up in the morning I'm asleep. So, we sporadically text throughout the day to keep in touch and then see each other on the weekends.
And I don't care that he takes a few hours to respond because sometimes I take a few hours to as well, but I've noticed that if you really like someone you'll scrape out 30 seconds to text regardless of how busy you are. Unless you're a nuclear reactor tester or something... in that case, please ignore texts.
She probably prefers phone calls or face-to-face interactions. I am the same way, not to mention, you'll get a lot more out of me communicating in those ways rather than with written communication.
Some people can't text all day at work or school either.
One of my major red flags with women is a bad texter.
One of my red flags is people who are attached by the hip to their phones and demand instant texting back.
Please.
My phone may be nowhere near me for HOURS when I am at home...I am not hovering over it like some sad sack hoping for the cherished ding of communication with the outside world.
