How often should you talk?

Crazy when someone from the past pops back up. I went straight from him to the guy I was with 12yrs which is why we never had contact. 

Yes.  Just take it one day at a time and hopefully you'll have the opportunity to become better acquainted in person.

It's like one of those things where you just have always had a weakness for someone. Well he is mine 

I've been dealing with something similar, and we're on the outs again right now, for a few reasons. I like more contact, too, and he would be in contact almost every day, for a little while. I think he's as skittish as I am, but he was full-on wanting a relationship, when I was just wanting to get to know him again. I think we are just too different, but we go through phases in which we are on the same wavelength. I want some kind of contact every day, not constant, just an acknowledgement that I exist.

Sounds a lot like us. Sometimes he is attentive and it's great then days later like he pulls back. It's really aggrevating. I did talk to him today and he will take an hr sometime to write back, then will text right back, then next one 30 mins. I feel like he sees them but doesn't respond for a while. It feels like games but then when we talk he acts like nothing. He's a naturally pretty quiet guy and I think if we were in person everything would be different.

I think if we continue to talk some I'm just going to have to be like if we see each other again we will and we may only talk about once a month.

The best thing you can do is pull back from this and stop messaging this much.

When you sit by the phone with a stopwatch getting upset, it's time to reflect on communication styles and if you're compatible.

On a side note, no one likes  text-tethering, so there'll be pushback from that. 

Make sure someone is not thinking to themselves "ugh, what now". 

Give people space and room to breathe.

I don't feel like I text constant. Lots of times I wait for him to text and sometimes I do but it will be days between. 

I just am not a mind reader when he is all in then 4 or so days later a change. I'm backing off though.
