I’m not really a big text guy, unless I’m at work. I rather talk; so much more can be covered over voice. Plus, fingers get tired, and autocorrect not so accurate. And my voice is sexier
Very true!
Texting is great, but OP I agree that at some point you should move to include phone calls.
Okay, here's what I've said a lot on here. I've discussed this ad nauseam on here. There's no reason to get to know somebody over the phone. You wanna get to know them in person, that means not texting them all day or blowing up their phone or just participating in unnecessary texting. A lot of people do this, then it winds up turning into either a phoneship or they talk the other person out of going out with them before a date even happens. You definitely wanna talk to someone for a little while, especially if you've never met them before, although I would be okay with never having a phone conversation with them if I met them online and we just met at wherever we were going, but I can understand why they would want a phone conversation first. There's no reason to sit around and text or talk all night, not to someone you haven't even been out with yet. And if you've ever done this before, I'm sure you can already think back to the stupid one word replies or when every reply starts becoming ''lol'' or ''LMAO'' or ''Right'' or ''Ok'' and then you realize this is going nowhere.
That said, I prefer a phone call over a text. A fairly quick phone call, then get off the phone as soon as possible and for god sakes, make a frickin date while you're on the phone with them!
I prefer texting during the day for a quick "hello - thinking of you" or to make plans.
I'm not against taking a phone call though.
Reminds me of a man I dated last year who took a job out of state right after we first started dating.
He wanted to talk at me for 1.5 to 2 hours every night. Well, he was lonely.
Once he got back to town he decided he wasn't lonely anymore and we broke up. Ugh, thank goodness!
I could see while I am at work, and not supposed to be chatting it up on personal calls anyway, otherwise, I prefer to talk. Communication is more than just words typed on a screen.
I think you are overthinking everything prematurely. There isn't even a real relationship yet so I wouldn't start in on someone with "cornerstones" or cutting them off & calling.
It really depends on the context of the situation. I have personally experienced situations where texting was used more as a barrier, even for unscrupulous reasons. For instance, you are using a dating app, then you guys end up texting over the phone and you get people saying nasty stuff that they'd probably be banned from on the app itself. etc.
