Texting and dating

So i've been thinking lately, and surely being in class is not the best time to be blogging but this has been on my mind so I figure now is better than never, besides I wasn't really paying attention anyways :)

Soooo texting and dating.

it seems to me that I've gotten all turned around with dating and texting, somewhere along the line I got this thought in my head that since I date a girl I MUST text her every day. I will admit I have dated girls where I texted them probably once every hour! it was like an obsession. an addiction! We texted all the time!

To be Honest I find this kind of annoying at this point. I realize that if you text every day, when you actually get to see each other, what do you have to talk about? you've been texting ALL DAY LONG. worthless to stay in contact with each other so often if you plan on actually seeing each other! I mean the idea is that if you are going to see each other why do you need to text, besides to get plans together.

Now with this being said I am NOT against texting, I love to hear from the girl I'm dating obviously so I'm open to text, if we can't see each other for awhile. hey I am okay with it, text, ussually I find my text conversations turning into random conversations that make me laugh, see that is fine even if you are going to see each other. You won't exactly talk about your daily life but it could help you have a better day.

Now where texting bugs me is if you are going to see each other that night, I don't want to hear about how your day was in a text a 4pm. heck I'll see you in 3 or 4 hours! save it, we'll talk then, at least call me. If you want to complain text me please. I want to help. but if you are sending 30-50 texts a day and talkinga bout all these problems that have happened, just when you are going to see each other that night. save your texts!

Its somewhat interesting but I have found that when I am dating a girl, my text usage goes WAY down. I admit I am a texter, I like it. I send maybe 30-100 texts a day. yeah PER DAY. I am a sucker for it. generally I get into conversations with friends that last maybe 10-20 texts. crazy but it happens. However when I am dating I find that I don't text near as much. I find when I am dating I send maybe 30-40 daily. MAX interesting now huh, even considering that my regular texts are NOT all to girls, but to other guys also. Yet still when I date my text usage goes way down. I've had days where Ive send maybe 5 texts. (although I've also had days where I'm not dating anyone and still send maybe 5 texts that day).

So in the end, I like to get with the girl I am dating at the end of the day and see how she is, how her day went. I like to see her mannerisms, her reactions, her smile, and her sadness. You don't get that over text. you just don't.

Text has its place, but please when you are dating, put text in its right place!
