Texting is only rough when you text a certain way.
Woman:Omg I has such a great day today I saw this movie and got free popcorn.It was so nice.Then I went swimming and I prevented this lady from hitting her head backstroking.Then I played poker and won the pot it was so sweet.
Man:Cool.
The disinterested guy or uncomunicater is always fun.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If that's not a new "go to" sign of disinterest, I dunno what is.
Classic.

5. The Call to Text Dodge
When the confusion finally gets the best of me and I call them to clarify what they really mean and they don’t pick up, instead responding with another text, this makes me want to pull my hair out. They just mentioned they were at home eating pizza and watching House of Cards! Did they lose their phone over the course of 10 seconds? I just want to find out about brunch plans!
Texting is just something I'm quite used to. Every woman I've dated has been into texting, except for my first girlfriend. We texted some, but at the time I didn't have unlimited texting. Most people have it or they tell you they don't and they tell you not to text them much and to call. I don't mind talking on the phone. I can talk on the phone or text, but texting seems to always be the fallback. It can pick up and fall off at anytime. When talking on the phone you have to mentally specify some time away. If I'm going to talk on the phone I want the conversation to last at least 30 minutes. I feel if you're calling it's rather important. If not, most of the time a text will work perfectly fine. I'm likely just so used to texting. The woman I'm dating now we talked on the phone twice so far. We either text or see each other in person. Just hasn't been much need to talk on the phone, since our schedules are different.
Communication is communication face to face, text, phone, skype all that jazz take your pick with what works for you. I am not much of phone talker because I hear how I sound on a phone and my voice is too deep for that.
Unless anybody in the write a letter with a quill pen give it to the horse rider and it gets to the sender in couple of days to a week master race no sense in having some sort of superiority over how to choose to communicate.
Messenger hawks would be cool though we need bring those back.
I guess I see it the other way, texting just adds to levels of communication between two people when done right.
For example, you might call and talk for 15-20 mins in the evening, but with texting, you can be in contact with that person all day long. Is that really so bad?
Also, in defense of the "here" text, girls and people in general have gotten so used to it that lots of times they aren't as comfortable with you just coming up to the door without letting them know you have arrived first.
The biggest problem with digital interaction is that it's easy to be a phony. If you don't feel like responding to a text, you can just ignore it for an hour and then say, "Sorry, my phone was charging" (classic excuse lol). Or, to make yourself seem "mysterious", indifferent or not desperate, you can decide to respond with 1-word answers. Stuff like that goes on all the time.
My husband and I text for short, memo-type stuff that doesn't warrant interrupting the other person at work, or call for a full conversation....like "leaving work now, on my way, " or "please pick up milk," or similar. We don't do detailed, social conversations via text.
