1Jessie86 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 We're coming up on 3 months and I think he's great. Is sending a simple text like, "you're amazing" a terrible idea? Any other ideas? We're both in our 30s. Thanks in advance.
Gaeta Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 In your 30s please put the text aside and make it a moment 'face to face' that you will both remember. Soon marriage proposal will be done by text ! 5

We're both in our 30s. Thanks in advance. I certainly wouldn't object to receiving a text message like that from a woman I'd been dating for 3 months! Gaeta is correct about how matters of the heart seem to be taking on a disingenuous technological approach, but when it comes to quick tokens I don't think a sweet text would or could do any harm, so long as you're also willing to say how you feel face to face when the need arises, too. Go for it. 2

We're both in our 30s. Thanks in advance. Why don't you have your BFF pass a note to him between classes . . . The next time he says or does something that you appreciate, tell him that in person. These are the kinds of things that get reinforced with the color, tone, inflection of your voice, the look in your eyes, etc. Don't make it some kind of random text. To me that's like a guy getting a tie or soap on a rope for Christmas . . . 3

How about treating him to a dinner at his favorite restaurant or buying an indulgence he enjoys to make him feel your appreciation has some effort or something tangible behind it. 3
seekingpeaceinlove Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I think it's cute. Text is another form of communication and no, it's not just for tweens. Say whatever you want..." I think you're pretty amazing.." is a good start

Eternal Sunshine Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Haha I send my bf all kinds of lovey dovey crap every day. I think most would throw up reading our conversations Don't be afraid to show that you care. 3 months is definitely not too early for that. Edited January 5, 2017 by Eternal Sunshine
IfonlyIknew Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Oh yes!! I'm always sendin things like.. "Thinkin about this handsome man I know" , small compliments like your "you're amazing" , hugs & kisses randomly.
Lansing Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 If you haven't done something like that before it might just come across as odd/weird to me .... I think saying something like that in person FIRST might be better. Or, say "you are amazing" after he does something specific or says something on text, not just out of the blue.. Just my opinion. 3
Gloria25 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Oh yes!! I'm always sendin things like.. "Thinkin about this handsome man I know" , small compliments like your "you're amazing" , hugs & kisses randomly. That's cool, but I also make sure I do it in person. There's something about human contact that is necessary to keep and maintain a connection. For a dude that I'm into, trust me, there's regular in-person complements and touching to go with it. When you don't touch and/or regularly have in person sweet exchanges (i.e. "good morning love"), you'll end up becoming roommates. And, especially for this "occasion", IMO, text is too impersonal. Like some suggested, just sunrise him at his/your place with something special planned (food, drinks, etc...) or go out. You can even build up to it like letting him know that this evening you have something "special" planned...then at some point in the evening, like put your hand on his face, look him deeply in the eyes and tell him that you just adore him...follow up with a sweet and soft kiss and he'll melt. Oh, and don't forget to top it off with a nite of great sex...

We're both in our 30s. Thanks in advance. So, I am looking back at your original post. Do you mean that at 3 months you have not expressed yet that you think he's a great guy? What kind of dating have you been doing? How often do you see each other? Do you go on dates? I see last October he told you he had no time to date you and you had seen him one time over 1 month. Then early December another thread about him being swamp with work and having no time. Are you sure you are dating?
BlueIris Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I think that's good at 3 months. Sometimes I just send, "kiss." A guy I dated used to send a blank text which meant only that he was thinking of me but didn't really have anything to say. That was sweet.
kendahke Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 If it was a LDR, then I'd say yes. But if you see one another on a consistent basis, then say it face to face.
preraph Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Really, the simplest way to show someone you care is to pay attention to what they tell you about and follow up on the status of those things because you are interested in their daily life.
