Texting

What is wrong with the world when sending a text to a woman you are interested in is considered normal?

One of my biggest pet peeves in dating is for a man to ask me for my number and the proceed to send me a text message. Are you kidding me? Things that get ignored... those text!I will add a disclaimer... that if a man sends me a text asking when is a good time to call me, I will respond. But I will not have continuous text conversation.

I feel real true conversation is important for two people to actually get to know each other. 140 characters is a very limited amount of space to do that. I will take email over text any day, but prefer voice. You can "read" pause, context, sighs, and more in type. I think the conversations are important in determining chemistry and attraction.

It makes me sad to think that people, not just men but women too, think that texting is a way of getting to know someone or even "talking"! Court me! What happened to really dating? Really courting? Really putting an effort to get to know someone?

I'm going to end this with one my favorite text quote from a movie: “I may not text, and I may not get texted, but trust me… the subtext of that text is boo-tay,”
