Ok so Ive been on the dating scene since i seperated with my husband, and it hasnt been going to great. I finely started dating this one guy who I actually like now for about a month. He introduced me to his kids and said that he wants a relationship. I went swimming at his dads house. Right at the start his texts were regular, but only for about a week lol then they started becomming less and he would text at night and ask me to come round, I asked him if he just wanted a bootycall, he got mad at this and said he didnt. Since then ive seen him a few times, and sometimes i will text and wont get a text back for 24 hours sometimes. And then when he texts me- i will wont text him back for hours- and he will text me again wondering why i havent text back!!! Yesterday I asked if we were on the same page still and he said yes, but then when i ask if hes free today (i have a day off) still no reply. Hes very laidback. BTW I do not text him until he texts me. Im so confused, i think hes not that interested or hes talking to other girls? Ladies how do you deal with someone who makes hardly any effort to text?

Im thinking I need to forget this one lol.

From my experience this is rare, but the only girls that have done this to me ended up being uninterested in me.

Personally, I feel you need to finish up old business. Are you just seperated or divorced? If divorced, it doesn't seemlike for long, don't jump into a relationship... If just seperated, you're not available....maybe he senses that...

Texting, along with Facebook, is so silly and definitely the worst way to start off a relationship.

Ive been seperated for 5 months and i feel fine to start something with someone. The divorce papers are going through now. He is seperated as well actually for about a year.

I know but texting is a good way to to just say hi or arrange something. If you are working etc and you cant recieve calls. Going for days with no contact- that says to me ''your not interested'' or am i reading to much into it?

If you want a more immediate response, call the person. Texting is better for conversations that don't require a response in X amount of time. The only time I text someone and hope for a quick response is it's someone I know really well. Even then I can't fully expect to hear back in a timely manner.

I like texting, but it can get out of hand. If I were trying to date I wouldn't look too much into the meaning of someone's text. Just tell the guy exactly what you've said here if he complains about you not texting him back fast enough.

I agree. Talking on the phone and hanging in person is the best thing to do. In my experience a person who does this is only semi-interested. I've done it before to guys (texting all the time). Some won't care if they are only semi-interested as well. The ones who are interested will mention and question me about why I only text them.

Not everyone is attached to their cell phone. Some people even turn them off. Especially if they have kids, jobs, and other responsibilities. I know, blasphemy.

Call. Talk.
