Do you freak out if they don't text back?

[zacharylewis]

If you are in a converstaion texting someone and the conversation dies and they don't text anymore do you worry you came off as boring?

[hippychick3]

I assume they got busy and are living their life. Most people don't want to have endless conversations by text.

[Michelle ma Belle]

Freak out? Never. I'm far too old to freak out about such trivial things.

 

Like Hippychick, I would assume they got busy and will give them the benefit of the doubt initially HOWEVER if it continues and especially if it becomes some kind of pattern then I'm not afraid to discuss it with the guy in a mature manner. It's about respect after all.

 

I'm not one of those chicks who hangs on every word a guys says or reads into things he didn't say. Again, life experience brings a lot of wisdom and I'm not afraid to cut ties and move on if the vibe and flow is broken.

 

C'est la vie.

Like Michelle says, initially it wouldn't, but if it were a pattern of if it were out of character then yeah, I'd bring it up. They could be busy, out of credit, kidnapped by fundamentalists or even playing games to keep you interested. If it bothers you, ask.

No, because I don't automatically assume negative things about myself . . .

 

If you have the time to text a conversation, you have the time to pick up the phone and have real and engaging conversation that has texture and color. And, yeah, I'd get bored with having an entire conversation by text not because of the person or even the content of the conversation, but because it's just dry by nature. You can throw in all the smileys and emoticons you want, it's dull. Building a relationship through texting is like building a house with match sticks. It looks good but it's weak.

This.

 

Let's examine this a little bit and put things into context. What makes you think you were boring?

[zacharylewis]

i was texting this girl alst night and she just stopped around 11pm. i figured she was asleep

 

so she ended up replying this morning and i replied back and havent heard from her.

 

im guessing its cuz shes at work

im guessing its cuz shes at work -- this is a "logical" assumption

 

i figured she was asleep -- another good "logical" assumption

 

So, these two statements lead me to wonder why you posted to ask if you were boring? Which is an illogical assumption based on the circumstances.

 

Don't reach out to her again today. Let her respond. And, if she doesn't respond, don't assume you did anything wrong. Let it play out.

I didn't date men dropping in the middle of conversations with no warning. It's basic politeness to say: I got to go, wish you a good night.

My hierarchy of preferred communication options:

 

1. Face to face.

2. Skype.

3. Telephone.

4. Email.

5. Letter.

6. Message passed via a third party.

7. Morse code.

8. Smoke signals.

9. Sobbing quietly, alone in the cold dark void.

10. Text.

[losangelena]

Your number 9 is my number 1.

Totally this. When people, not just someone I'm interested in, drop off mid-conversation I just see it as rude and if they fail to reply back, I just leave them to it. Don't stress it as there could be any reason, but also wait for them to come to me next time.

[wildsunandmoon]

I would be lying if I didn't. But like everyone said above me, it isn't something to fret about. Life happens, and if she doesn't respond, you have the option of starting a new conversation.

 

Also, she's probably at work or something. I tend not to get distracted and focus only on work until it's my break time.
