guys just dont like texting ?

[sarah_pinky]

is that every guys dont like txting often i mean they dont really enjoy txting with their gf ? i sent a ''Good Morning ''txt to my bf and he didnt reply at all. After 5 hours i sent him another one asked him is he in busy ? and he didnt reply but i think he read my txt but he didnt wanna reply sometimes. i dont really txt him often , just few times a day. So...i 'm pretty sure that i'm not that annoying for him.

but he said he likes texting with me but the prob is i totally cant FEEL in this way. Just like the Good Morning text , is that really hard and difficult to send me the same one ? Maybe he just have to copy or forward, isn it ?

everytime he got interest to send me a txt is asking me out and said he wanna see me , n my bff said he is so boring that always just saying he wants to see me, n i think that he is not that thoughtful and always willing to listen to my stuff,family sth .
But he always find the stuff i like secretly .. but the prob is . i cant feel it!!!

do u guys hve any smiliar prob or have been that kinda experience ? how can u deal with ? my friends said i cant escape just because ti dont like the way he act, i hv to face and fix the prob. so....any advice????? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [/FONT]

I hated texting until I finally got a phone with a slide-out qwerty keyboard. Now I just need to push one button per letter in my message, instead of sometimes pressing the same button two or three times per character. Texting still usually sucks in comparison to other forms of communication, like a face-to-face conversation, a phone call, or even an email, since I can type faster on a full-size keyboard then a tiny cellphone keyboard. Maybe that's the key, size. Women tend to have smaller fingers than men, so texting is less of a hassle for women.

No. It depends on the guy. Sometimes when I get a txt, I am busy and I would reply to it later if it's not that important. If the txt is trivial like "good morning" then we sometimes don't reply. It doesn't mean we don't care. Guys in general are less talkative than girls so it is normal for us not to talk or txt as much.

I've had and am having issues with the same. I think it's rather easy to reply to a text, especially a simple good morning text. I've said this before but, nobody is too busy to send a simple reply. So many people walk around with their cell pones and claim to be too busy to use em. It just comes down to IF they wanna text you or not. He, for whatever reason, doesnt want to respond to you so he doesn't. Takes maybe 8 seconds to respond to a text message. Some people are different though, they see the whole text communication thing in a different light. You can roll with it or confront it. Confronting it is kinda tricky though, you're almost always going to be made out to be a needy or insecure person. Try talking with him about it, ask him if he really gets too busy to text you back, after all it is a form of communication.

I've said this before but, nobody is too busy to send a simple reply.

What? I have gotten txt when I at work, there is absolutely no tolerance of txting at work, you will get fired if caught. Should I stop my project just to walk off and hide somewhere to txt a reply? When there is urgency to get the job done? I have also gotten txt when I am riding on my motorcyle on the freeway. Should I exit the freeway just to reply? There are many instances when I can't txt back, like work meetings: Yea "Excuse me gentlemen, my girlfriend just txt me and this appears urgent, so excuse me for a minute so I can reply to her How's my day going? txt."

Come on now...

Everybody is different. I for one hate texting. It is an extremely bad form of communication, especially for casual chatter like "Good Morning".

No matter how sweet you are, you will annoy a guy if you constantly bombard him with text messages.

im a guy and dont mind texts, usually always reply it only takes less than a minute to do, only time i dont text is if im working and really cant use the phone right there

[IncognitoSir]

What?

You can take it for what it's worth but the rest of the paragraph helped to get my point across a lot clearer than the single sentence you quoted....

[keepsmiling]

i dont mind texting, somethings are better said through texts, and as regards reply, he can be busy, no doubt, but that doesn't mean later he cant call up and have a few sweet words as a loving apology for not being able to reply.

lets get it straight.. there's nothing like im too busy!! , its just priorities..

I think Bonfire is dead-on with this one. Text messaging is not the be-all, end-all of communication. Phone calls, face-to-face communication, etc are all better than text messaging, in my opinion. There are some places of business who will fire you if you have your phone out during work hours. That is because it takes away from production in the workplace. It could also be a security issue, depending on your place of business. Plus, short little "hellos" and "how are you doing?" are okay every once in a while, but not really necessary every single day.
Let your guy breath a little bit and don't text him all the time. Concentrate on what you like about your relationship and not little things that bug you.

Good luck.

yeah....he and me got the same phone i mean ,,we also got the whole keyboard for txting and he alwayd shows me that he can do txt really quickly ,,thats why i always wondering that how can he doesnt reply me at all ,, but the situation seems changed. i randomly send him txt just avoid him to say i'm annoying ...but he 'd never say that be4. just my problem. My bff always said i got lot of problem produced by myself~~..
i think he needs to work a lot so seems he doesnt really hv time to reply me , i can understand .,.but he is still a student... so...i dont think he really got no time for txting ...
or u can say.....HE IS REALLY WORKING HARD!!!

My brother and his girlfriend text each other a lot. I on the other hand don't like texting much. If I receive a text from my gf I don't always reply immediately. And sometimes I forget about it, not intentionally though. But I always reply if it's email even a short one. But nothing beats face to face communication. I like talking on phone with my girl at night before sleep.
Not a text person. I think girls are much more into texting than us guys. I guess we don't feel the need to talk as much as girls do. My opinion.

If you want to know how much a guy loves you observe how he treats you. If you're special to us you'll see it in our actions.

[jb1111983]

One more thing. We (I know I'm generalizing here) aren't very good at multitasking. So if we're at work or studying or talking to a friend or anyone chances are we won't reply your text immediately. That's how it is with most of us unless we really like texting or are trying to impress you. If you're our gf we won't always try to impress you.

I don't particularly care for texting... but I use texting. I don't let it use me, I use it. If I know my wife is busy at work and doesn't have time for a conversation, I'll send her a text. She knows I expect no answers from texts, as I won't text if it's urgent. If she can/wants to, that's great.

Often the things I text to her are just to tell her I love her and am thinking of her. I usually get an answer to those... eventually.
