How do you all feel about texting?
I personally don't like it much at all. I hate when I meet a girl and she wants to text all the time so we can 'get to know each other'. Or when she wants to text all night for no damn reason. I always cut it off which I think gives off the wrong impression. It's not like I don't like the girl, I just don't feel like staring at a screen of words all night acting like it means something.
thoughts?

Ive noticed some cats around here talking shit about texting like you cant get pussy from texting or something... In my experience they couldn't be more wrong. everyone texts, some people are so busy and productive that all they really have time for is texting. I would personally rather text than talk on the phone and i do well with women so to each his own.

yea i dunno man... i'm not for texting either. never mind the fact that my thumbs simply don't function very well on a phone (as a result i get pissed off and just call) but how do you convey emotion and shit on a text?
nah. i'd much rather call. also, I've found people can be a lot different over texting than what they are in real life, hence for me the phone call is better, you get to gauge the situation way better IMO than if you were texting

I'm all for texting. Like one of the previous posts on the subject, I'm far too busy to take part in a phone call. Texting from my perspective is the ability to hold a conversation over the course of the day, not interrupting your daily tasks or activities. I love texting, I hate phones. Phones make me drop everything to pay attention.

im never on my phone anymore. the only time i use it is to contact my parents, my friend from washington, or whoever calls/texts me that needs me. the only person i usually will text is if i had a bf, or thing/someone i like but thats been iffy. i just hate phones now.

Have none of you read cyrano de bergerac?
People used to send love letters to each other S.W.A.K.
I understand 'hey wassup?' gets old, but if you're seriously pursuing a relationship with this person you should be able to text them a few times throughout the night. Texting gives you the freedom to respond at your leisure, so use it.

I think there's something sweet about sending texts especially since I'm not the type to talk on the phone. It's a nice reminder that he's thinking of me

I think it can both ways. I know people who will only talk over text. That blows. But like me. I'm just a very social human being so throughout the day I will hold like 5 conversations lol. Get off work and then go continue them in person. This girl I'm dating likes to text a lot to. So I'm constantly reminding her that "we should talk about this in person".
I have seen first hand how people can abuse the awesomeness of texting.
But yeah, it definitely doesn't make up for the real deal, thats for sure. I just use it when I want to get a quick word in while I'm to busy to chat on the phone. I'll even have some fairly politically involved chats throughout the day. It keeps things interesting.
But if your girl ONLY want's to talk over text than don't put up with it. Like blowing off plans and then wanting to sit and text instead <--lame.

Meh. Texting to make plans is alright but "what are you doing" texts irritate me. As do girls who text like crazy. I want to get to know the chick in person, not in text. You lose like 95% of the message with text.
