(yesterday afternoon)
me: today might be the slowest day ever
she didnt reply
did i lose her?
i know it seems like ive ben tetxing alot but shes started some conversations to
i dont know. i hope i idnt. i think ill take it easy this weekend
We have no way of knowing if you lost her or not, but I do have a suggestion. Don't start the conversation by talking about yourself. People want you to be interested in them! So you should have asked her how her trip was going!
Another suggestion...never talk about how bored you are. makes you sound boring.
I don't know if you "lost" her or not. You certainly lost me. The texting sounded a bit boring. I kept waiting for the plot and there wasn't one....foolish me.
That is a good thing, really, because there was nothing in your texting that should have been offensive, pushy to her. I sure wouldn't waste too much of your youth trying to figure out females to this degree. Don't believe me? Read some of the other postings by men who are prob. twice your age. There is really no figuring out why we do all the things we do. Same as with you men. I am sure you have puzzled a few women as well.
In other words....haven't heard back from her? You hit a snag and never really "caught" her..pick up your fishing pole and try again. There are plenty of fish out there. LOL
Most 40 yo women I meet have no desire to talk on the phone, unless is is absolutely necessary.
Yep. If some guy I've never talked to is going to move from texting to calling, I'll need a heads-up. If he just calls out of the blue, I may not answer. I hate talking on the phone - I find it to be the most awkward social interaction possible, especially with someone I don't know.

It is only awkward if you are an insecure person. I think talking on the phone with a stranger is great way to get a feel for the other person. Texting is lame and juvenile in my opinion because it gives people a fake sense of connection. Hearing someone's voice adds a lot to the interaction.

Right, she mentioned her grandpa's 90th birthday and instead of taking that and saying "that's great!" or something, he turned it into talking about getting together. The rest of the texts were just boring. I'm an old, so I know that the youths text differently, but "I'm bored" or "Hey" texts done give you anything to respond to. If you're going to text, say something interesting, or ask something. I wouldn't respond to that, either.
