Guy texting every other day... (women, single, younger, kid)

[tessie425]

Anyone ever notice this while talking to someone? This guy I've been seeing has been doing this..I notice the specific pattern of texting me only every other day....I figure it's because he doesn't want to appear to eager or something. For instance, spoke to him on Wednesday, had a nice conversation, then yesterday nothing, then early this morning I get a text. It's kind of funny, actually....

Yeah I have met those types. I had a guy who would only reply to me later than I replied to him. So if it took me 30 minutes to reply, he would reply back 45 minutes later. If it took me three hours, he would reply five hours later. Usually it's people who have insecurities. Really irritates me to no end. Stop being a child!

What is wrong with that?

You'd rather have a guy texting you non-stop? No, you wouldn't. Don't kid yourselves.

I prefer men who have grown up and don't play silly games.

it doesn't bother me at all, although I would like to hear from him every day......I just find it funny - it's like he's holding himself back from texting me every day and deliberately sending one every other day.

He could certainly be busy, seeing other women, etc. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Actually phone calls and time together trump "texting" anyway.

What if he has nothing interesting to say? I won't text unless I have something interesting to tell or have a question about something.

Why people are so obsessed about texting? What about other ways of communicatin? anything wrong with meeting face to face, or talking on the phone? And why others need to be pressured to reply right away, or else is that a RED FLAG, or open room for speculations?
People who text only have hard time properly communicating with their partners. Art of meaningful conversation seems to be completely lost.
Just wonder.....

op, you pretty much answered your own question

its all because of silly irrational behavior, gamesmanship, and pseudo psychology that goes on between men/women on a daily basis

instead of just speaking and acting freely, men/women are always trying to analyze and/or manipulate one another

"well i dont want her to think this..."

"what does he mean by that.."

"well i'm only gonna text her every 72 hrs because i dont want her to think i'm sweating her..."

"why is he smothering me..."


its all unnecessary... alot of this can be remedied by simply opening your mouth and saying whats on your mind

i almost appreciate those blabbery people that run their mouths nonstop because they usually say whats on their minds

THIS.

Oh, my Lord..THANK YOU! I recently had a younger man approach me and ask for my number and tossed me this, "I'm so tired young women who act silly" Same guy proceeds to do NOTHING but text me. He has my number, he knows I'm single and all he wants to do is text. He is yet to ask me on a date. So he sees young women's "silliness and immaturity" but NOT his own.
