Honestly, I pretty much use the same rule for friends. Of course, there are exceptions, but if I'm putting in more energy than you often, bye-bye.

I don't, I'm the complete opposite and can't be bothered dealing with those kind of people

Call/video chat them. If you're gonna text me 3 words, you might as well say those to my face

Lmao this is too real

 

Honestly, I probably would never even take it to a date if a guy was THAT bad at texting to begin with
 

There have been a few times where a guy was great over text at first, but a after few weeks in and he got complacent it dropped off majorly (which is natural to slow down, but I mean going to seeming completely uninterested in my life all the sudden yet still wanting to see each other occasionally, presumably for sex)

 

At that point, it kinda depends how hot they are and how emotionally invested I am lmao. I'll give it a while of seeing if they change, but typically low interest in texting means either they've changed how they feel or I get unattracted to them eventually, so one of us ends it 

Gets annoying if you have to pull every word from them but I've had the opposite experience too where someone I haven't even met yet would text me every couple of seconds non stop for days and weeks, that's usually when I start doing the bare minimum and make them get bored of me

It either means they aren't interested or aren't good texters, so I don't deal with them.

I hate ppl like that

i just stop replying & don't even bother reading the text and move on to the next one

if it doesn't work for you then move on. find someone that does have the same communication style as you. 

I've come to find out that it's a disease that tops and "straight" leaning men suffer from tbh, idk if there's a cure, unless you settle for a vers with terrible taste in music and kinda ugly, those will text you all day. :katie:

No this is TRUEEEE

Idk, I feel if they call you enough it's not a big deal. Most of the convos go down on the phone. I for one an am awful responder. I have ADHD that's also unmedicated, so it's so hard for me to get back to people through text because no matter how important the matter is, I will forget. I still try my best though, but people often get mad at me for it (but it's something that's very hard for me to gain control of).

 

A good mix of phone calls and texting here and there is nice, so there's not a bunch of pressure on only one form of communication. So there's a nice a balance. But people that only call and just flat out REFUSE to text, or vice versa piss me tf off. Like it's just lazy to me at that point. :deadbanana2:

I'm really bad at texting so it's me hi I'm the bare minimum texter it's me

I wouldn't care if I saw them regularly in person. Conversations are way better in person and texting a lot can be a drag.
