Fellas Why do you send text messages? Posted on 02-18-2008

I just wanted to know why do guys send text messages, instead of picking up and calling a woman? I've noticed that in this new generation of dating, that guys are doing a lot of texting. Why not just pick up the phone and call? I'm just wondering why even bother about asking for my number if you are going to text. I feel that you should just ask for my email address if you are going to write. Anyway, fella's give me your thoughts on this and the reason why you do this.

If a guy doesn't have the decency to respect me by dialing my number, don't even bother about sending me a sorry text. He can save that! If he is that busy, I would just appreciate if he would just wait until he is not busy and just call. Women are going to have to hold these men to a higher standard and make them be gentlemen. Also, it can go both ways. Women should wait until they aren't busy and just return a guy's phone call. If he was courteous enough to call, then a women should be respectful and return his call later when she's not busy.

When do I send a txt message instead of a call? 1. When I'm in the middle of doing something important, that a phone call would interrupt, but I still want to acknowledge the other person. 2. When I just need to ask something quick that doesn't require a whole conversation. 3. When I'm in public and I don't necessarily want spectators listening in on my convo. As others said... txt doesn't replace a call... it's just an added tool in the arsenal.

Well, we can appreciate those reasons. I've had a former boyfriend who always called me in the past and now he just sends me a text. He is a professional, and he should know better. I'm not interested in rekindling a flame with him, but I just find it rather rude for him to text when he's the type to pick up the phone and call. I just feel that it is his way of trying to keep tabs with me, just in case he wants to get back with me but he doesn't want to seem too eager.

haha i'm a female and its the opposite with me. i always text and the guy ends up picking up and calling. my reason fo doing it is to avoid akward moments in the conversation. especially if we haven't actually managed to have our first phone convo yet. the first call is hard and i don't want to do it so i just text until he does. i'm guessing guys do the same thing.
u rite .... soo soo rite... and textin is unlimited..... my mins aint lol

it takes the emotion out of the conversation, guys are afraid to express how they really feel...
