Oh my! Did it occur to you, TVSG, that after just a little bit of an online chat she realized that she just wasn't interested in you and the cellphone deal was just a good excuse? Did you maybe tell her you were having some of those Fruit Loops for dinner?

lol it depends I have some friends who it takes forever to get them off the phone, the ones that you say "ok I'll talk to you later" and they keep right on going. It's just easier for me to send a text saying "hey wanna go to the movies Saturday" I don't know I guess became a texter because i was always in school or at work or somewhere where I didn't feel comfortable talking on the phone (i hate seeing people yapping on the phone in public - like really that conversation couldn't wait until you were out of the grocery store) so it allowed me to communicate without actually talking, now I just prefer it. Plus when we were all in college we had the cheapest possible plans so daytime minutes were only used for extreme emergencies. My best friend was so paranoid about going over her minutes her voice mail would say "hey I'm not answering because I'm low on minutes, text me or I'll call back when it's free"

SO sick of phone addicts......

If you would of said that to someone who didn't have a balloon for a head they would of seen in discussion that you are a planner with a good head on his shoulders. Much better for relationships than any idiot with like the newest phone.

But thats ok..being that she is a total phone addict she has been subjected to massive doses of brain damaging waves.

Its not her fault. LOL

Lol. I have done the same thing on occasion. A guy walks up to me from out of nowhere and is practically demanding I give him my phone number. I just tell him I have a boyfriend. Once I even said I was married cus the guy wouldnt get the point. The guys in my neighborhood and such that I meet in the street, now go around saying that as long as I'm not married i'm still up for grabs. That of course, is not the case with me ,since I am a very sincere and loyal mate. They think that just cause they annoy me more I will say yes.

Oh and just to clarify to all at CD, my previous post sounded like I was trying to pick the guy up, when in reality it was him who was trying to date me. But he didnt have a phone.

How true. I hate cell phones, and the few times I've had one, I keep it turned off. I only use it for emergencies. Fortunately, my boyfriend has the same attitude about them. We have no desire to keep tabs on each other during the day or night.

My co-workers are addicted to their cell phones and calling their s/o's, and it's a sad thing to see, but that will never be me.

As much as I HATE lying to get rid of someone, I have to admit when a guy gets persistent, I'll make up a boyfriend.

TVSG, on another thread you posted asking if it was acceptable to turn your cell phone off so you didn't wait for it to ring. Which is it? You have or you no have or you occasionally imagine that you hypothetically have or that you hypothetically don't have?
