I keep having long texting convos with guys for them to either not ask me out or i find out theyre just looking for sex. I don't want to waste my time anymore. What should I do about this?

When they start texting respond that you hate texting and go quiet. If they don't take the hint and pick up the phone then they are not so bright...

Why don't you just ask them out? (The guys you like)

Combination of the two above... say, I'm just not into doing a lot of texting and don't think it's a good way to get to know someone. So how about we meet at xyz for drinks and conversation.

 

Just think of how many things you'd accomplish with one statement... first, you eliminate by intimidation the ones who would text and ghost, second you're telling the guy we're not hooking up the first time we meet, and third you skip the whole waiting for him to ask you out absurdity. You meet, have a couple of beers, and figure out if he's hump worthy... and you can give him the list of stuff he has to pay for to qualify.

Stop giving the guys your phone number until you've met. You can always suggest that you both use the dating app. to communicate until after you've met. You don't NEED to exchange numbers until AFTER you've met and you feel there is "something" to resume. Otherwise, at the earliest, not until you have agreed to meet, though that wouldn't guarantee that you would.

Usually if a guy doesn't from OLD it's my experience he's either happy staying on the site indefinitely, just not into you enough, or has other interests he's chasing more.

If you don't want to ask him out (because of perceived gender role or whatever) then why not just ask him when he's going to ask you out?

Most of what salparadise said should work; don't agree with the "trying to get him to pay" part (i realize why you said it and do we really need to go there?? what does that have to do with this question?)--rest was good though.
