You texted him yesterday. If he didn't respond last night and doesn't respond today either, don't text him tomorrow. Basically, at this point, you are doing the same things as what in the "old days" was sitting by the phone waiting for him to call. (Have you texted friends yet to make sure your text messaging is working properly?)

Just go about your business. He's got your number. If he's interested, he'll use it. As you said yourself, it's not that hard to find 5 seconds to send a message.

Here's a novel idea. Make an actual phone call. I think texting is for people who are socially retarded.

and anyone under 30. Younger generation today does everything via text. i do too for the most part. Its more convenient and less of a hassle. If im dating a woman in her 30s, and know that she is more traditional, i will occasionaly pick up a phone and call to ask her out or whatever. Other than that, i dont really use the phone either, other than for business purposes or talking to my grandma or parents.

^ THIS. It's not about playing games really; its just seeing what the interest level is. While I do agree that it's okay for each person to be the first one to text or call at times, if ONE person seems to be the one to always do the contacting, that person should back off a bit and not contact. Because that could be happening because the OTHER person's interest in you is low.

If someone is REALLY interested in getting to know you, they will be just as eager to contact you as you are to contact them. And you wont have to wonder if they are interested; you will feel it and see it. If you have to wonder, maybe they just aren't into you as much.

If he wants to talk or text, he will call or text you. Don't pursue him.
