If He's Just Texting You...

A Few Things I Have Learned About Texters:
(men specifically)

1. If he only texts you, it means he doesn't want to waste actual minutes on you

2. If he is willing to argue with you for an hour and a half over texting, but claims he's too busy to call you to have an actual conversation - he's not only inconsiderate of you, but he's not thinking about whoever he's "busy" with either.

3. If he only texts you after midnight, and is always drunk when he does so, he's not viewing you as a long-term relationship.

4. If you've told him time and time again not to contact you after a certain time, and he contacts you anyways, he obviously doesn't respect you, and probably never will.

5. If he doesn't respond to your phone calls, and only your texts - he doesn't consider you an actual human being and would prefer to imagine you as non-human as possible.

Now, I'm not getting down on texters. I do some texting myself, but it is to send a quick declarative statement or a simple question. I do not send out texts with open ended questions that could lead to conversation. Talking on the phone vs. texting is just as distracting to me as it is to the people around me. If you want a conversation call. If you don't have time to call don't ask the long questions. The person on the other end may feel like they're being short-changed and like you don't care. You might as well just send the text saying "I don't care enough about you to call so I'm texting you instead."
