I guess we're doing it wrong then the women I'm dating we talk once in the morning on her way to work we might text though out the day then we talk for a hour or so before we both go to bed. Some times we talk for a couple of hours, then again we are eight hours away. I don't like texting either so impersonal hard to gauge what the other is feeling at times.
Don't you remember bro, she texted you that your long distance relationship was over ...
Then distance yourself from anyone that is so vapid as to think this. If anyone doesn't like texting in a dating relationship, then don't text. Problem solved.
I know plenty of people who never text or do so in emergencies only. These people phone the other person. Texting is impersonal and many people who do it have little (or nothing) to say, they are simply addicted to the process of texting. Re-read your texts and you'll see what I mean.
People want to have "great relationships" or a "fantastic marriage." Worthy goals, both. But relationships require conversations and face to face time. Texting is utterly extraneous from a marriage.
So judgmental. Don't project your values onto others. All the same things could be said about phone calls relative to face to face time.
I find it ironic that those here who are most opposed to texting in a dating relationship seem to have the hardest time finding a happy relationship.

No one is projecting their values onto others. We're having a conversation and everyone is stating their preference and reason why.
Again, I don't mind texting even with guys I'm dating, but picking up the phone sometimes is appreciated. Maybe I would be less annoyed with texting if the texts were actually interesting or asking me to get together. They are just pointless how was your day texts that go nowhere.

What's he going to say on the phone then? Seems like you've taken the fact that he doesn't care and turned it into whining about texts.

IMO, the best way to obtain closure is to respond to this person's next text with a generic message letting him know that you do not think he is the best fit for you and you do not wish to continue your relationship with him. If he asks for more details, you can provide them (he is still getting his act together, doesn't seem committed, etc.) as you see fit but I wouldn't recommend just blowing him off completely before you let him know you are choosing not to continue the relationship.
If he continues to text you after you make this known, you can ignore him or change your number if needbe (it won't get to this point).

Yes they are. The person I quoted made statements about what *other* people think and insulted them. He said people who use texting this way are "vapid" and that they don't really have anything to say but are "simply addicted to the process of texting".
I don't have any problem with someone stating their opinions why they think something is good or bad. I do have a problem with someone who throws insults and insinuations at others who feel differently. For some reason, people who prefer phone conversations feel entitled to attack and insult people who prefer texting with an absolute conviction that their way is the right way. You never see people who prefer texting starting threads to rant about people who prefer to call.
