My female friend was telling me that almost every guy she meets online they all TEXT once numbers are exchanged. She said they make no effort to call it's just one text after another and they actually try to set up a date without talking atleast once.
So now I think I understand why all the women I'm meeting are texting me more instead of calling me on the phone.
How in the hell can you develop a rapport with someone through texting? Texting is for people you already know, not someone you are getting to know Once again, 1999 is gone forever
Texting is really just an extension of the emails, and really the "next step" I guess. But the most important thing between texting and email is that you get immediate feedback. Not like an email once or twice a day. You can sit on the couch in the evening while watching tv and trade a few texts about random stuff and get an idea what their personality is like. THEN you call. Calling is the next level and definitely more personal.
I can understand why people don't like to text, but, in my opinion, texting is great for quick one liners and basic info, without getting sucked into a conversation with someone you may not want to talk to. I've texted with a few girls and red flags pop up immediately, so I'm glad I didn't call, haha. I won't be that guy that "never called back", I'll just be some guy she texted with a few times, haha.

Yes, in my experience, a lot of guys do just want to text. Even after I specifically tell them that I'd rather talk than text. I don't have a problem texting short messages or texting after we've gotten to know each other, but if they can't even be bothered to have a 15 minute conversation with me, forget it.
I'm not a phone person either, but I think hearing a person's voice is a big part of getting to know them. I don't really have much experience with online interests, but the little that I do know - yes, this is true.
I did find that the majority of guys like to text predominantly, but these, IME, are the guys who don't want to be brazen with their interest. Which, to me, is not a good thing. I have a problem with that. Sh*t or get off the pot. Those guys always fizzle out because they can't come eye to eye enough to make a connection.
Texting is great fun, but it should be the punctuation between real conversations and not the substance of what someone has to say.
Don't like texting. I am in my 30s. I'd rather have a conversation (or exchange a couple of texts) to get to a face to face sooner. Weeks of texting? No thanks.
I am also the worst texter in the world, I get sidetracked and forget to respond frequently. I have to make it a point to review my text inbox every few days just to make sure I actually responded to stuff.
I don't text. Period. If I want to talk to someone I call or meet with them in person.
