You know what would make it even better? If you were to hear the dulcet tones of my voice.
“Glad to hear you’re having a great day, Brad. Press the little green dial button and see what happens!” But if you want to see me, you’re gonna have to try a little harder. “Thanks, cutie! I turn off my cell phone at night, but you can call me on my landline after 9. You want a guy to treat you like a serious relationship candidate instead of part of a harem? Insist on being treated that way. And you DO IT?! There’s no reason for him to spend more time, more money, more energy, or more emotion on you. What incentive does he have to step up to the plate if he can get away with a minute of phone foreplay? Why SHOULD he call? Why SHOULD he plan dates? Really, if he can text you, on Friday night at 10: “Come over, I miss you,”. If you accept that he only texts you, never calls you, never asks you out for a proper date, you’re tacitly CONDONING this behavior. But it’s not HIS fault if the texting persists ultimately it’s yours. They’re right in one regard – texting is a shitty form of communication. And women complain that men aren’t stepping up to the plate.
They never pick up the phone to make a true connection, because they want to keep their options open. But texting MUST be the icing it can’t be the cake. She texts me from the kitchen to tell me she loves me. I text my wife to ask her to pick up something from the grocery store when she’s out. To clarify – if these texts are used in ADDITION to phone, email, and actual dates, they’re fine.
