monkey00 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 So it's 2012. Here's my old mindset: go on date, if it's successful or I want to make another date I'll call her the next day or two. Fluff talk and make plans. My current mindset: texting for everything from day 1. I really have no successful model to follow anymore because I've been doing a lot of OLD the past several months. Have trends changed to just texting or do girls appreciate a nice phone call from a guy every now and then? I wonder if that's the area I'm failing at because I find it increasingly difficult to build rapport without talking.
USMCHokie Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Unfortunately, the world now revolves around the text message...so why not be different from the rest of the guys and actually give her a phone call...? It can't possibly hurt...and if she thinks it's weird to actually have a phone conversation instead of texting back and forth for 4 hours, then there are probably other issues you should worry about... I'm sorry, but this one should be pretty obvious...
Author monkey00 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 No you make a good point. Perhaps I've just be too jaded about the whole dating process to really make the effort to call...I don't even know these days whether it's a deal breaker or not. It is also frustrating to make an effort when the girl is likely talking to or going out with other guys. I used to care about calling when I got onto OLD, these days not so much. A sign of the times? Technology has ruined dating for good.
miss_jaclynrae Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't mind a texter... but I hate texting. Phone calls are much better.
Author monkey00 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 But is it a deal breaker for women if the guy texts instead of calls?
USMCHokie Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 But is it a deal breaker for women if the guy texts instead of calls? I don't think you'll encounter too many women nowadays who will consider an exclusive texter a dealbreaker...but I'm sure it wouldn't help your cause...
Seductive Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 With all of the "He's just not that into you" dating advice out there, I think most women are expecting a man that likes them to call them.
Woggle Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't text so if I were still single she would be getting a call.
iris219 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't think you'll encounter too many women nowadays who will consider an exclusive texter a dealbreaker...but I'm sure it wouldn't help your cause... I would. Pick up the darn phone and call!
StrangeBehaviors Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I've got where I just do what I want regardless of the perception on the other end.
