CarrieT Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I am DYING to text him this animated gif. It looks like a text in progress, but it's really a .gif. He will be going crazy wondering why he's not receiving the text. http://i.imgur.com/bMB7QpX.gif Don't go into the realm of game-playing.
Author PumpkinLumpkin Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 Don't go into the realm of game-playing. I'll do it on the 10th date, if there is one. But I'll do it in his presence. It's too funny not to do it!
CarrieT Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) It's too funny not to do it! :rolleyes: If you say so.... :rolleyes: Edited November 12, 2014 by CarrieT
BluEyeL Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I also said you should calm down a little, too early to freak out. Only that my friend writergal disagreed. 2
writergal Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I also said you should calm down a little, too early to freak out. Only that my friend writergal disagreed. Haha yeah that's true I did. I am glad that Dr. Strange Text is proving me wrong. I just know from my own experience that if he's not responding to texts within a reasonable amount of time, then that means his interest level is low. But I'm wrong in this case, and that makes me happy for Pumpkin! 1
Author PumpkinLumpkin Posted November 12, 2014 Author Posted November 12, 2014 You are all right. I should not be freaking out. I should also be aware of actions. The difficulty is juggling all of this and remaining zen!

Then I met the doctor and he's opposite. You might not be wrong...we don't know enough yet. 2

Redhead14 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I am dating a man 14 years older than I. He is 56. He knows how to text but the frequency and time he takes to respond is killing me! We've been on four dates over a period of two weeks. I have let him initiate all of the dates AND texts because this is my method of how to gauge his interest; however after sending me a text, he sometimes takes up to 24 hours to respond, and when he does it's usually a one-word response. I can't tell if this man A) has a low-level interest in me, B) only interested in sex since most of our dates have been extremely physical (though we haven't done the deed yet), C) simply has no clue on texting etiquette, D) is not tech-savvy and doesn't care to keep in touch that way. He's a physician, very bright and successful. However sometimes I'll say words like "bluetooth" or "retina display" and he will stop me and say wtf is bluetooth? If I had his full attention, wouldn't he be responding to me right away? We met on a dating site so if he's able to post his profile, surely he can return texts in a timely manner! The silence in between dates is pure torture. Is this an age thing? Thanks...and no yelling at me for freaking out! Older men, 55 and up, who have been divorced and been through the dating scene, even if they are really interested in a woman, will "manage expectations" while he is deciding if she really is the one he wants to pursue for a while at least. They will be a little slower to call and schedule dates, etc. Slow is not necessarily bad. It's the consistency that should be paid attention to. If he calls every week on Wednesday and schedules a date every week, he's thinking about you. If this goes on for more than a few months though, you will need to have a discussion with him. As for texting, he's a doctor, he's busy, he's older too, so maybe just not into texting. I know older men just plain "don't get that". 2

He has been extremely consistent with dates, and they seem to be getting closer and closer together in time. He is extremely inconsistent keeping in touch between dates. I think after this fifth date, I'd better start initiating a little bit. 2

He is extremely inconsistent keeping in touch between dates. I think after this fifth date, I'd better start initiating a little bit. Yes, I would initiate now. Just do it once now, gauge his response and go from there. Do it in a balanced way though. You do it, then let him do it -- a little back and forth. If you want him to call you more, I'd call him once and then again in a few days or more if he calls you in between. But be sure you have something interesting to say or keep it very short, like, I heard a song and it reminded me of the time we . . . and see where he takes it.
