The text is pretty lacking, but that's a lot of people. She does the same thing by closing the convo with a weak statement. Texting has to open up the convo, or state a clear purpose. All that shyt is weak, with the "nice to meet you", "hows your day", "have a good day". Not sure where culturally we started talking to everyone like we are in customer service. esp. people you sleep with.

Like a year ago I went out with a 26 year old, I was like 36 at the time, and we had a lot of chemistry, a great date, and we kept in touch, but when she hit me up like take me to the movies, I want to see the Whitney movie, (sounded like a terrible second date) I responded, flirting, and in Spanish, she's Mexican,

me: "but we can't talk during a movie", lol

Her: ok

and that was where we left it.

but people try to play their cards so close that they lose all human behavior. A lot of that is all performative. If they know me even for an hour, they'll know I'm never desperate or thirsty, so that's not a concern. The "worst" scenario is someone will think i like them and I am sexually attracted, so what's the real issue?

I read a fukking book on texting, and it still is some of the more annoying features of modern life.

Do people not call or talk on the phone anymore .? Most of this miscommincation . Can be solved with a phone call.
I make it a point now to call woman rather than text . There not use to dudes calling

No, a lot of people don't call. It's seen as "too extreme" and for emergencies. I do call. But a phone has to answered for it to be effective. Did that the other day with a friend of a friends girlfriend, long convo, chemistry the whole room acknowledged, made a plan, called her, and no answer.

but yeah, when you do mutually cross that barrier and just call, it clears up almost everything. but people don't like it, because unlike texting you have to be kinda on. You can't wait 10 minutes to reply. You can't craft the perfect meme or whatever. and calls can be really revealing. Texts everyone seems cool and remote. and probably exactly the way they want someone to see them.
