No shite.
That's what I don't get. I understand that texting is more convenient, but if you're really interested in someone you make time to talk to them. I'm single.
I'm just curious of other's opinions on this.

If he's not calling or communicating any other way then it's one of two things.
A) He's a morbidly obese, lonely man living in his mother's basement
or
B) Not that interested.

Just find someone you like that lives near you. Long distance is a waste of time.

I don't hate texting. You're misunderstanding my point.
I think there should at least some actual voice to voice conversation every once in a while in a relationship.
Especially at the beginning of a relationship. When you first start talking to someone, you should actually want to talk to them. Now, once you're dating for a while texting is ok, IMO.

Or he has a weird voice. Or he stutters

I think face time is creepy. I never answer when people try to face time me.

Not true. My wife and I did the long distance thing for a year and a half when I started working.

Even Manti Te'o's girlfriend got on the phone people.
Think about that.
Think about that.

Coastie, you know how I feel about this.
I don't mind texts. But not text conversations that go on forever. And in my mind, texts do not replace conversation, whether in person or on the phone. There is an intimacy to hearing someone's voice, and you just can't get that connection through texting. (And in the same vein, there is an intimacy to looking in someone's eyes when you talk that you can't get on the phone.)
If you're getting to know someone who lives at a distance, texting would not do it for me. There is just too much that a text can't convey.
To some degree it's generational - the younger you are, the more likely you are to feel comfortable with only using electronic communication. But that generation may also have a lifelong struggle with social skills.
Bottom line - if I'm going to feel close to someone, I need to hear their voice and see them in person. Texting is a supplement, but doesn't replace those things.

You're not using face time correctly then.

Bingo.
And you're right, Coastie - if you're interested, you make the time.

Waste for me. I would not put up with it. Maybe for a month...that's about it.

It's aggravating to say the least. But hey when you love someone you do what it takes. Yeah that was cheesy sue me

Whatever works for you. I would prefer to just break it off and find someone else.
