Both have their functions although I prefer texting because it's less invasive and you don't have to stop what you're doing to text. If I'm in bored in school and I feel like flirting with a girl, all I have to do is take my phone out and send a text. I can't call her in the middle of class and start talking. And vice versa, if a girl wanted to speak to me, and I was in class or hanging with friends or whatever, I can't talk on the phone. She would have to send me a text to get my attention.

 

Men who don't wanna call, are short on the phone etc. Red flag!:rolleyes:

 

Prepare yourself for many red flags then because texting will only continue to get bigger.

I'm prepared and I see them regularly...

Texting is okay, seeing each other is of course by far the best, but i absolutely

HATE calling. It just feels weird talking that way, silent moments become awkward way easier than in person. You can't do anything else while being on the phone but it's still not as fulfilling as being together.

 

Texting is a much better and more relaxing way of staying in touch between meeting, while it doesen't take up alot of time.

I like texting for quick communication, just generic how are things, or making plans. For important conversations or asking a girl out (until we are exclusive) I call to set date plans, even if its 3rd or 4th date. I just feel weird texing a girl for a date, even if we agreed upon it.

 

Every once in a while I'll make a short call just to talk and say hey over phone...though I usually make sure I have an out to the conversation so it doesnt go overly long.

 

Texting is also nice as I can still watch a movie or play a video game without them hearing distractions

I am so not a texter. The guy I'm seeing is, but he's also really good at talking. I couldn't have a relationship based on texts.

I don't know about you guys but I got tired of textual communication about 10 years ago...what's up with men and women in their 30's doing the majority of their communication via text/email/websites? I don't like it, it's so empty and meaningless. Blame technology or blame the people? Wonder when or where I'll meet a man who feels the same about communication? It's just so weird these days, "oh she don't like me" click click click "Next". Guess if you can't beat em, join em but I'm not feelin this.

 

 

I don't like texting either it takes me forever, it seems to be how people communicate though so i use texting for that reason, I prefer face to face honestly.......i don't even particularly like the phone...I tend to read a lot into tones and voice inflections, so i am analysing as i am listening...not so good.....miscommunication happens over all aspects where you cant see the person you are talking too,setting up dates and things of a similar nature should always be at least through the phone and not text or email

Blame the technology and all the phone companies with the 'unlimited text' options.

 

Texting isn't going away, but it is a problem if it makes up the majority or even close to the majority of the way that an individual communicates.

 

All that it is doing is making those people slowly forget how to socialize face to face or voice to voice at the least.

 

I know some people who still stray away from texting so don't give in.

I am not strictly against it, I text...don't feel I'm getting to know anything that way though. And vice versa, but hey if the guy doesn't mind not really knowing me then he's not the one for me anyway.

Not saying to be against it completely but use it rarely in comparison to phone calls and face to face meetings. That is how it should be and it was.....when texting first came out.

I started to see a pattern in men who seemed reluctant to actually call me. When they communicated with me primarily via text whilst in the early stages of dating, they ended up being creeps. My boyfriend, on the other hand, didn't hesitate to call me every night after work when we were first getting to know each other. Great things came of having that kind of communication from the start. ;)

I like that :) That's how things SHOULD be.
