Jilly Bean Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 If he's in his 20's (or younger), then yes, he is more prone to texting as a sole method of communication. I recently got back with someone who I dated last year. We just took a vacation together, as a matter of fact. And we have NEVER spoken on the phone. No joke. Age? Mid-20's. Guys in the their 30s will call and sometimes text. Guys in their 40s ONLY call. Its an age thing... Link to post Share on other sites
Author maralove Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 so when i pushed him to call me is when things soured. i really don't feel that i am truly given an opportunity to be myself in text only format. i hate that i lost someone due to communication issues like this. it hurts. because i really liked him. a lot. i'm 39 and he's 28. maybe that is the problem.

Art_Critic Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Are you sure he was available ? Maybe you were backburner girl and when you pushed speaking with him he cut it off.. Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think texting is pretty inane. I refuse to do it. Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm... This seems odd to me. When you wrote "dating", what do you mean? How many times did you actually go out? What was that like? How long were you seeing each other?

Green Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I usualy only text. But im good at wooing a woman over the phone so I'll call if I feel I need to reel em back in Link to post Share on other sites
Lee725 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Maybe he had financial issues and could not afford to call. Txting is cheaper. Given you were only dating and not in a relationship where you would discuss financial issues - he may not have told you this and when questioned felt to embarrassed to tell the truth, therefore compensating with the "sour", behavior that followed? Another point, is if he was seeing someone else (hate to say it, but my EX would do this when he was around HIS X - long story), he would txt me because he could have your number saved as anyones name, txt has no real tone etc, but if he called he would speak to you differently than say to a mate, any other girl in the room would probably picked up on the fact he was not talking to a mate. I hate to assume the worst here, but i had this problem first hand and both of the above points were relevant to my situation. Especially compounded by the fact i would call him and he would NEVER answer, he would always call back a while later.... GGGrrrr Link to post Share on other sites
EYECANDY000 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The guy I am currently dating we have our most intimate and seious conversations over text. We speak sometimes, but mostly text. Most times days go by and I be like dude, I need to hear your voice!! And when we do speaK we do have the greatest conversation, but I guess texting has been a little easier. Oh yea, and were both in our mid - twenties. I dont know if that makes a difference. Everyone seems to say that the age range makes a difference. Link to post Share on other sites
OrangeSnack Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 In my opinion texting is one source of communication in a relationship. However, there are limits. It sounds like he is not a very open minded individual. Im glad you're no longer seeing him, find someone who will treat you like a real woman, not like some computer bot.
