So an update from my other thread on guys that text too much. There's been 2 guys that I've recently met on OLD and we talked one conversation and then they started texting. So instead of ignoring them, I said, "I'm not big on texting, so call me when you get a chance". And it's worked, they've called instead of texted, hehehehe!!! :cool:

Yay! that's great.

 

So since the 8th what happened with those guys that called?

I've been out on a date with one last night, seemed like a good guy (for real), and I'm supposed to go out with this other guy this Friday night, so we'll see.

Awesome and I think how you broached it with them was PERFECT.

 

Not a demand, but simply letting them know what you prefer and expressing interest at the same time!

 

PERFECT! :)

Some people dislike texting excessively and I understand it, OP. I'm not big on it too.

 

I usually give a quick phone call after I messaged for a while a woman on a site. Firstly, because I want to know if she's for real, and second, a phone call gives more on the person than texting. Also, the way people write their texts ie: ''R u free tonite'' can be a turn off.

 

Once I'm 'settled in a relationship, I do both, less texting, more calls trying to go to the essential.

 

Good on you OP.

Yeah agreed. I just don't like texting with a guy when we first meet. I like him to call me to set up a date. I don't mind if he texts to send me the place where we're meeting or something, but only texting is so impersonal!

I agree with you OP. I prefer calling for at least 10-15 minutes so I can get a feel for the guy. That little action has brought up the quality of my OLD dates dramatically.

 

I have said similar to guys and they just kept on texting and never called. Don't be afraid to move on if your communication styles don't mesh.
