How to text a guy
Guys can be hard to read a lot of the time but when you’re trying to read them via text things get a whole lot more complicated! Here’s my biggest tip for having a healthy text-life:
Realise you’re likely to be the one making it a whole lot more complicated (sorry!). For the most part, guys are actually pretty straightforward. They’re in touch when they want to be, they’re not when they don’t. Most of them don’t engage in extended text conversations with their buddies - they meet up, talk crap and have a beer. For some guys, a one line reply to the text you sent an hour earlier is a big deal.
If you’re the only one who ever initiates a text convo though, or he’s really slack at replying to texts, give it a break for a while and see if he gets in touch. If he doesn’t it means one of two things: he’s better at talking (so call!), or he’s just not that into you (ouch!). Take whichever applies into consideration and proceed.
Avoid:
*Having a long conversation via text. After a certain point it’s better to just call - or even better, meet up!
*Talking about the big stuff. Trying to have a big conversation via text can be confusing for everyone involved. If you’ve got something important to talk about - call or do it face to face.
*Multi-texting him. If it’s urgent and he doesn’t reply straight away it’s probably better to call.

I hate texting. It’s a convenient way to organise something, but I don’t see the point in chatting over txt. Posted by LauraakaDora "on" 02/08 "at"12:01 PM |

I personally think sometimes texting the guy daily could be pretty annoying for him. I reckon to take a break if it’s always you texting him first and see if he will text you first, if he does, that means he was thinking about you. And maybe he feeling something else for you too  Posted by TINGteng "on" 02/06 "at"05:10 PM |

sometimes its better to avoid the texting and meat up with this person because if you text to much then when you do meet with them there might be nothing to talk about ? Posted by dyanesutherland "on" 02/06 "at"12:28 PM |

Great tips!! I had a boyfriend who only said the deep stuff by txt and never to my face, big suprise that he broke up with me by txt… learnt these lessons from the relationship. It is sometimes alot easier to txt things rather than say face to face, but if he can say it by txt then why not face to face. some men need a back bone!

I personally think that guys just lose interest too fast, so meeting up or talking on the phone with he is a really good idea, leaves out any complications that can’t be understood via text and the message is put across without any confusion or conflict.

I guess it’s a natural thing for women and girls to talk A LOT! Therefore we always fall in the trap of sending long conversations through text. What can we do?! Posted by Mia6 "on" 02/05 "at"11:22 AM |

LOL, i intend to do everything on the “AVOID” list hahaha. Gosh, typical of me though, ihonestly think if ive gotta say something to say right then, il say it via text cos calling these days costs an arm & a leg unless you have bestmate, which idont have cos ihate wasting money on phones, that kinda money could be spent else where LMAO.
