ilovehim77 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Hi, I've been with this guy for about 3 months, with 2 months of it, long-distance. At the beginning, I didn't really care for him and didn't believe it was gonna work out due to the distance. But he was persistent, sending me 5-10 texts/day. He did it everyday for 2 months. And now I'm addicted to those texts. He still sends me texts everyday and will be back from the long trip in a week. But now I won't be happy unless I see texts from him everyday. What's wrong with me? What can I do to get out of this addiction?
Feelin Frisky Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 There's nothing "wrong" with you that isn't wrong with lots of other people these days. Texting, like a lot of other things, have been powers and technologies that have washed over ordinary people which gives them powers to do things for which there are no historical precedents. We are sort of guinea pigs in our own time and the chips are falling where they may. I don't know how to tell you to disconnect. Having an extended dialog with someone else you enjoy through technology is going to be a compelling draw--now that that genie is out of your bottle. Do you like the guy for real or like that you can kinda control him and keep him at a distance without having to compromise yourself? There are a dozen other questions I can think of off the top of my head. I have no easy answers for them either. There is not yet a "texting recovery industry" but if there is, you may find yourself a pioneering test case. Good luck.
dressing up Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I totally understand what you're experiencing. I've gone through it with this guy I was friends with but wanted more from. I must say being busy helped because I had no time to wonder why he hadn't texted. So maybe you want to get busy doing something, anything!
confusedgirl56 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Maybe you should let him know. Some men love to feel needed!
coolheadal Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Go visit him or you get him to come visit you. Otherwise something going to give?
confusedgirl56 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Be honest with your feelings with him. If he's into you, he'll love it! If he doesn't, he'll think you're needy and text less. His reactions will you insights on how he feels about you. Just don't be desperate and make it a one-hour long discussion.
