He doesn't text first. Am I overreacting?


Question Posted Wednesday February 6 2008, 10:29 pm

I'm 17, my friend that I like is 19. So all of the signs point to this guy liking me (I'm not talking silly things like "OMGHELOOKEDATME" either) except for one: while texting, he never initiates the conversation. During the week our only form of communication is texting, because he's ridiculously busy working till the wee hours of the morning.(Like, from 11 in the morning till midnight) However, he never texts me first, he'll only start once I initiate the conversation. I went a day without texting him to see if he would, but he didn't. Otherwise, it seems certain that he likes me, but this really bothers me. Am I overreacting, or should I worry?

He's busy, and frankly, from another person who works full time, texting is inconvenient, rude and can make you appear irresponsible to your employers.

I've had to re-train many of my friends to understand that I'm going to text them back while I am at work, because I am at WORK. Working. Not chatting with them.

You are over-reacting, and you might also want to ask him if he is comfortable with holding conversation by text while he is on the clock.

Sounds like he is secure in the relationship. Don't nag too much or he may get annoyed. You shouldn't worry. I'd wait a little longer to text next time. He'll eventually text you then probably ask, "where have you been." LOL

No 1love1life, we are simple. You girls make us complicated. ;)

The best way to figure this out, is to have a talk with him and ask him yourself. Ask him, if he's really interested in you, or if your just waisting your time. If he's says he is interested tell him you would like him to show you that he does, not just to think your going to be there all the time.

ask him why he doesnt text you first. Ive kinda had a situation like this but it was calling not texting. and i was worried and all. so its normal if you are but if yall arent together as a couple then he really doesnt HAVE to text you. if you get what im saying. or maybe he doesnt know what to say to you. i could be one of a million reasons, guys are so retarded these days
