My boyfriend always wants to talk to me but he never calls me he just likes to text and talk on AIM. At first I just thought he was scared but he always does it, and I've nagged him before and I call him but he never answers I don't want to keep nagging, but I don't like wasting my texts when I could just be on the phone!

Uh... Does he talk to you in person? Yes? Then there is no reason he can't talk to you on the phone, now is there?
Text and IM is so impersonal. You can't show emotion or feeling in what you say. You're holding a conversation with words on a screen, for crying out loud.
Gee... I remember a world without cell phones and internet. I remember when there was no such thing as text and AIM and IM.
You know how people held conversations? With their mouths. In person, or over the phone. So, I'm sorry, there is no excuse for him not wanting to speak to you on the phone. None.
If I were you, I would tell him if he wants to talk to you so bad, he better answer the phone when you call before you find yourself another guy who has the courtesy to do so.

DepthofHeart answered Sunday April 29 2007, 12:49 am: Talking on the phone can be awkward, sometimes you don't know what to say or you say the wrong thing... Maybe he's just trying to keep that from happening. When you're texting you can think about what you say first.
dropkickjordan answered Sunday April 29 2007, 12:36 am: some guys dont like being on the phone for many reasons.he might be avoiding long oquard silences. also he might want to be very carefull about what he is saying to you so he proofreads what he says before he says it.
