Question Posted Friday June 18 2010, 11:24 pm
17/f
So, me and this guy have been talking for quite awhile now. We hang out and act just like couples do. The problem is, he never texts me. Sometimes we go all day without texting and it urks me so bad! I text him and he will write back maybe once or twice and thats it, unless he askes me to hang out.I just hate how he dosent text me that much. I know we don't have to talk 24/7 but i dont wanna go all day without talking to him. Ive mentioned it to him 3 times and all he says is "im sorry." I really really like him but i dont know what to do. :/ Help! Should i text him first, not text until he texts me or what?

While my boyfriend and I text all the time, I really think it can cause more trouble in a relationship than it's worth. Over text message, the meaning of words gets misconstrued and can cause unnecessary arguments.
Furthermore, the issue of texting causes girls to play ridiculous games. If you text him first one day, you must wait form him to text you first next time. If he isn't texting you, you must wait three days to text him. Ridiculous crap like that. I have engaged in these texting games, and really, it's pointless.
So, the long and the short of it is, text him when you feel like talking to him, within reason. Don't send him multiple messages if he isn't responding and don't text him at random hours of the night. Otherwise, text him when you want to, but if he doesn't respond, don't worry about it. He probably just isn't interesting over text. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

If you text him &he doesn't reply don't text him again until a few days. He may not like texting. Or maybe the texting convo's you guys have are boring. That's the reason why I don't reply to some people.
Hope I helped(: [ Mwuah's advice column | Ask Mwuah A Question ]

But what you must ask yourself first is: Is he a shy person? Because if he is then he's probably doesn't want you to think that he's being too clingy by texting you too much.
What would be the best thing to do is talk to him about it. Not just tell him that it hurts. Ask him if it bothers him to talk to you or what is on his mind. Just ask him to pour his heart out to you. I know guys don't like to talk about their feelings but if he loves you then he should be able to tell you exactly what is wrong.
But also there could be a possibility that his texts never made it to your phone. It happened sometimes with the network. I'm not sure but Talking is the best cure. [ southerngal16's advice column | Ask southerngal16 A Question ]

If you say that you've been talking for quite a while, then there's no reason why you should insist on spending the day texting each other as well.
I know so many guys who hate texting, and sometimes I do see why. As long as you still talk, and he isn't ignoring you, things are fine.
Just get used to and don't turn something insignificant into a fuss. I know it is frustrating, but some things you just have to accept, instead of forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do. [ Disconnected's advice column | Ask Disconnected A Question ]
Joelous answered Saturday June 19 2010, 2:07 am: I.. I really REALLY hate texting...
That doesn't make texting bad.. nor does it make every guy hate it... But he might be like me
I think as long as he is spending quality time with you in person, or in general calls then it's fine.
I only text to respond if even that.
then again if he's the kind of person who texts all the time and then he's not -sexting you, then you might have a problem...
MissYMelisS answered Saturday June 19 2010, 1:34 am: My boyfriend and i have been dating for 7 months now, and He never texts me. At first it annoyed me, but you have to realize that its just how some people are. Maybe he doesn't like to text? Or maybe he doesn't have an unlimited texting plan and doesn't want to tell you.
Its not something to stress out about. I know it sucks but eventually you'll get over it. If you like the guy then dont stress out about something this little. [ MissYMelisS's advice column | Ask MissYMelisS A Question ]
Teen2TeenHelp answered Saturday June 19 2010, 1:27 am: if "im sorry" is all he's giving you, then that's not good. for now, keep mentioning it and see if there's a change. if not, sit down and talk with him and ask him if why he's not. at least get a reason why.
