Haha. If they thought it was so "banal nonsense" then why do they keep texting me? I'm telling you, girls are so weird about texting.

By the way, I always ask questions through text (No, I don't do it excessively) to girls because they love to talk about themselves so there is not a problem on my part.

Maybe you should try to get to know some women.

That I need to understand that they're a bad texter? I can't seem to find one that is a good texter. The last one weeks ago that I made an excuse to not date her (She wanted to date me so bad) was a great texter, we texted for like two months. That's too bad.

Dude, seriously, you should do a youtube clip. There are plenty of guys like me that are always looking to improve their texting.

It's crazy, you think you send a funny thread and it's crickets for hours, through in a "???" and maybe get a reply sometime. Yep, women (younger) are weird about texting and it's almost like you have to accept texting on their terms, flakey and all. So would be good for guys to learn a few techniques to keep the conversation going, or maybe even just understand.

Like I said, sometimes the conversation just drops off and you are left wondering WTF happened, did i say something later? what ever happened to "ttyl" or "brb"???

It's like one minute she takes .2 seconds to respond to your texts for hours, then BAM! Nothing, even though iMessage says she read your message. Ladies we don't need to keep you in check knowing brushing your doing but if you get busy let us know, don't just leave us hanging.

Sometimes it worse than that, sometimes girls take hours to reply to a simple "hey what's up" the reply of kts not the one worded "hey" is usually "sorry I'm a bad texter" BS you're not a bad texter, you're just texting 64 other dudes. These same girls who claim to be such "bad texters" CONSTANTLY have their phones in their hand when you do go on a date with them.

Ladies you need to stop that crap, it's just rude.

One of my major red flags with women is a bad texter.
Usually if my fiancée doesn't text me back right away, I already assume she is busy--which often is. But then, I don't always text her back right away myself. sheesh.

We're patient, understanding people who are secure in our relationship. Unlike you.

I would hope you're not trying to judge how much attraction someone has to you when they're your FIANCE.

Lol. For real. Everyone is wondering what their new interest is thinking about them. If you've been out of the game for awhile, you'd probably forget that feeling.

Usually after 3 texts, I get the hint that its going nowhere and will just write a girl out of my life if she's gonna be that way. I dont play these games and Ive gotten sick and tired of it, which is why I posted this thread
because she wants to keep you around in case she gets lonely and/or desperate. or she wants to use you as an emotional tampon. man up, show some self respect, and don't bother trying to talk to girls that do that. then you will have women all over you

They're texting you because they're bored. Then, when something/someone more interesting comes along they ignore you until they get bored again...either that or the other people they're talking to aren't responding.

If that is the only one reason that you can think of then you are sadly mistaken.

Women text if they want something, not because of being bored. They want to play games and so that's why I'm there so I can find what they want, if you know what I mean.

One incident, this one girl I haven't seen in two months, but we text every now and then. I texted her while I was in her city during spring break two years ago, I texted her "Hey, I'm in town, you wanted go eat somewhere tomorrow for lunch?". She said, "Yes! Let me ask my boss to see if I can get off work and I will let you know tonight!", no responses until three days later, she said "OMG, I'm so sorry, I got so busy. I feel so bad right now". Of course, I don't believe her BS. I KNOW she always on her phone. Yes, that is a rejection, but I just wanted to have lunch with her to see how she is doing. Then she will text often saying, "We don't text much anymore" and also, "I miss you, my mom always ask about you". Holy batman.... I'm like, you b****, you just ignored me while I was in town for the week and was done with her! She blames it all on me. I haven't talked to her in almost a year, her fault. Won't be texting first. She is a very sweet girl, but she is absolutely inconsiderate just like most girls would be. They would blame it all on me for not texting them when I usually text them every other times. I guess they expect guys to text first every freaking time.

As I said earlier, girls are very weird when it comes to texting.

By the way, I haven't text ladies much lately. I just wait for them to text me first every time, it works. It bothers them that I don't text them much, it's great to have a control over it on them. Heck yeah!
