text messaging and dating? what is acceptable?
ok so i met someone with whom i exchanged numbers with, but when i called for a date, they returned my call via text.
we then spent the next week bouncing text to make a date in our “busy lives”
now…this isnts about being to busy so much as the text, because when i said (via text) that “wouldnt this be better if we talked on the phone?” they asked to chat online, and when i asked again, i got no reply.
My gut instint tells me that this person is either not really interested to begin with, or has communication issuses, so when they text a few day later i ignored it.
but my room mate seems to think that im “just behind the times”.
i think i just have self respect enough not to get involved with a person who might not be “all there”
what do you think?
yeah that does sound a bit odd. i have, not answered a phone call and texted back when i wasn’t in the mood to talk but never to a guy i was interested in. that’s just rude and extremely unsocial. my gut instinct would be that they are very shy/uncomfortable talking to me in person, so i wouldn’t want to go on a date. you did the right think by not texting back, i would say if he calls though go ahead and answer otherwise forget it.
