Gingerlocks Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 The title says it all really. Is this something you "should" do or not? We see each other almost everyday, but we don't live together. I think it would be nice, but then again, it would also become a "bad" habit, as if one day you forget, the other person might think something is up?
Ronnys93 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 If it's something that you feel like you should do, then discuss it. Or better yet, do it and see how the person reacts. Are you currently in a relationship with this person? You say you don't live together, but you also don't say whether you're in a long term relationship with this person. You also say you see each other "almost" everyday? Then why not just give a good morning/ Good night text on the days you know that you wont see each other? Just to fill in the gap until the next time you see each other? Long story short: don't get hung up on little formalities like this. Have a quick discussion about it so you know directly from the other person if they're okay with that. 1

Ronnys93 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I think I'll ask her what she would like. Should I just be direct and ask or? Be direct, open, and honest. If it's what you would like let her know that too.
Author Gingerlocks Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 I think I'm overthinking this a lot though.. 4
Ronnys93 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I think I'm overthinking this a lot though.. You are, but that's okay. That's why I think it's best for you to both just have a little discussion about it. Don't make it into a big thing. If you're scared to talk about little things like this, imagine when the bigger things roll into the picture. What can you do about that?
CaliforniaGirl Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I think its sweet. Why not do it and see if she likes it too, rather than trying to make it a "thing" ahead of time this way? Just give it a try and if she responds positively you can both keep it up.
Author Gingerlocks Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 dont do it. it serves no purpose. How do you mean?
Ronnys93 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 dont do it. it serves no purpose. Well it serves a purpose for the OP obviously so I think that says something.
d0nnivain Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 It sounds sweet in theory but it's kind of a p.i.t.a. If you already see each other daily, it's not needed. Save it for the days when you don't see each other. DH & I only send them when one of us is away. Morning text, nightly call. Sometimes morning call but rarely.

I think it would be nice, but then again, it would also become a "bad" habit, as if one day you forget, the other person might think something is up? Shoot I do this with all of them. Some do it and some don't do it. The one that goes: ok idk = i don't know Gm = good morning Gn = good night Brief but to the point I say good morning (their name) there is another part of this you can say but might be too early to say it and they you say their name with it. I find also most women don't even do that word also. But in any event sure you should get a good morning, good afternoon, I don't see a good evening more a good morning how did you sleep last night or good night have pleasant dreams see you in the morning..
BikerAccnt Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 My GF and I do it nearly every day, however if she misses an evening, I don't get upset about it. We don't always do it on evenings we've seen each other, sometimes, but not always. I think it's nice, not necessary but nice. Since we don't live together, it's almost like a good night/good morning kiss. But again, if one of us misses doing it for whatever reason, neither of us gets hurt about it. We may joke of it the next day because it's become such habit but, neither of us thinks any worse of the other because of it.
CptInsano Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Reading this forum made me late for my good morning text. 3
Gaeta Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 If you see each other on daily basis then l think texting morning and night is over doing it and it will kill anticipation and spontaneity in your relationship.
Miss Spider Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 It's sweet the first few times but gets old fast ...probably for both people ...but if you stop then they wonder if you lost interest... Don't start
Ieris Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I guess some people don't mind doing it but to some it can feel like a chore.
GoldSparkz Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I think its a sweet thing to do at the start of a relationship and gives comfort because it shows the other person that you're thinking of them. However, if you miss sending a greeting one day, it would only cause concerns if the recipient is inexperienced or has trust issues. If it were me, I wouldn't batter an eyelid as I have a million and one things going on in my head most of the time.
startingagain15 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 BF and I do, but I wouldn't mind skipping the good night texts esp on the days we see each other. Sometimes I want to go to bed early, and it feels like a chore.
Redhead14 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 In the beginning, its kinda cute and a little sign that the person is thinking of you and "into you", but after a while it becomes rote/mechanical. I'm not an advocate of texting to develop or evaluate a relationship. If I am spending quality time and having quality conversation when we are together, I'm not sweating over texting in between, that's for sure.
GemmaUK Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I wouldn't go there. The last 3 men I dated did this and it was a chore because it was so predictable and dull. Seems sweet to begin with but very soon it's just boring.
