I don't like texting, is it ok to ask guys to call me?

I do both and can feel chemistry even through texting, calling is less impersonal and after texting for a couple days and if things go well I want to call them too.

 

When I'm settled in a RS, I will send a couple texts during the day, make a call in the evening and text a bit in bed before sleeping.

When I am dating someone, I prefer spending time together IN PERSON.

 

Assuming I feel emotionally safe and secure in the relationship (which are the only type of relationships I remain in), I do not need to touch base everyday. If we do, a couple quick texts would be fine!

 

Just to say hi, thinking of you, love you (depending on how far along in the relationship we are). Ir to make a plan. I find long phone calls tedious and exhausting.

 

I like missing a man. I like that tension.

 

When we finally see each other in person (once or twice a week in the beginning)... it's that much more exciting, fun and passionate.

 

I guess I am one of those rare women who prefer quality over quantity.

 

In short, I prefer texting, and find phone calls exhausting. Would rather save our convos for when we spend time in person, which increases over time.

 

 

YES. This. I can totally appreciate this. I'm relatively new to dating and am struggling to get this across to people. It seems everybody wants to be in constant contact right off the bat. It's exhausting.

Set the standard YOU want. I don't like talking on the phone and prefer to text. Find the guy that meshes with your style, ask for what you want.

That's true. Some people won't be on board with certain styles. Personally I don't feel anything from a piece of a text - it doesn't push my emotional buttons at all. I'd need to date a man who also enjoyed phone calls.
