[T]his happened to me this past weekend. A girl who I am interested in is a good friend of mine. She texted me cause she drove past my work and saw me working. She asked how I was and so on. So I did the same and after about 10 texts, it took the girl 3 hours to text me back. This was at like 9 o’clock. So I ended the conversation by telling her I was with people and I was letting her go.
Anyways… my question is, if you are trying to have a conversation via text and the other person takes a significant amount of time to text back, i.e. over an hour, does that just turn you off and the conversation is lost at that point? Also, I don’t only apply this to women, if I text one of my buddies and he takes forever to text back and or never does, that shit pisses me off. One more thing, a simply sorry I was eating dinner or with my family would suffice, but I guess others don’t believe in common courtesy even via text.

I think the rules for common courtesy are very different when it comes to texting. As in, letting a conversation just stop, randomly, seems to be perfectly acceptable. I don’t know why, but it is. I’m having trouble letting it not drive me crazy.
Because I actually want to know where she is, what she’s doing, and why she stopped texting me… but I know better than to actually ask.
So I hold my tongue.
The only thing I’ve kind of found helps is to try and make her smile or laugh every couple messages. Even so, there’s a whole lot of waiting games going on. Wondering how long I should wait for her to reply until I send her another text. Wondering whether I should reply to her text immediately, or let it sit for awhile. Etc.
But I’ve really only had to do this with one girl, and I’m just figuring it out as I go along. But she keeps talking to me, so I guess I’m doing ok.
Me: Can you talk tonight?
three hours later – I also called and got no answer
Me: Gonna take that as a ‘no’. I need to get up at 5:30 for my flight. Goodnight!
an hour later
Her: I’m just getting to bed now. Have a safe flight. Don’t talk to strangers 
next day
Me: Made it back alive. Nobody offered me candy
You end up working today?
Her: Nope, I work tomorrow. You poor thing, no candy for you. Lol.
Put all together, it sounds fine. But those delays are killer.[/quote]
Wasting time on one girl, those conversations are pathetic, she wasnt working that day and she didnt even ask to hang out LOL? Or did you leave out the part where she said she was busy out of embarassment. what is clearly happening is you are in love with a text tard teaser, shes probably doing that to 10 guys at once or already has a boyfriend but doesnt want to let go of the admiration from desperate men such as yourself. Women like to look at a guy and play games betting that the guy wants them makes them feel good if they are right which they usually are, or they just like to tease people. you obviously lack wisdom, life experience, or both. Men are suckers for women, thinking they are super innocent. Psychological studies state that you are happier for only 1 year after marriage or just in the beggining of a relationship, than it flatlines to the same level as a normal single guy. Women aren’t the secret to happiness. Why not pursue something more worthwhile instead of using your phone to torture yourself over some idiot just teasing you. I know lifting weights makes you think you look good, and you feel like you should be in the action, and trying to get laid, vanity is a burden, just an illusion of confidence. Seems like your the one gaming yourself. You can give someone advice, just not the intelligence to take it. If you had any game you would leave her a nasty text and never talk to her again.
Us males are legends in our own minds, we believe women think we are the most attractive or that were special to them, we even go as far to think its as easy as just having bigger arms, if that were the case jay cutler would have women lining up outside his door. Yes our ego wants to make us think, if we want some exotic sex life, its as easy as just lifting weights. Men are viewed as accessories by females, like a handbag. Or a disposable replaceable razor. You cant blame them when even the ugly ones have 10 men a day trying to shag them they can go hmmph do i want a muscular one , a dark one, or atall one this weekend? all the while you think your special lol. Especially in this generation of men raised by women. With the feminist culture we give too much power to the effect women can have on our happiness, it is quite tiny. Knowing the mentality of females… Do you really wish to dedicate your time to their pursuit? I dont thinkits worth it. Unless your a total pervert weirdo, or just have no self esteem and cant handle being alone because of the single guy stigma.
