It can be a problem indeed. Sometimes texting every day can be overkill. That said, some girls like to text everyday. She'll feel appreciated when you text her first, but after a while, if you are going to text everyday, wait for her to text you. It's a tricky thing. This girl that I'm dating right now is one that likes to text everyday, which is ok with me. We've kind of got a tacit agreement where we switch off who initiates. Kinda goofy, I know, but it's all good for me.

How about: text when you feel you have something to say? If she stops responding, you're done.

However, if she's responding promptly each time you text her, I'd characterize that as a sign of interest, so I wouldn't worry about doing what you're currently doing too much.

What NB said- don't be excessive with the smileys. They're good every once in a while to show interest, but there are much better ways to show that interest.

lol the art of texting

it is kinda like mind games, you don't want to turn her completely off by not texting at all, but you want to get near that fine fine line between being "cool" and being a jerk. lol

On that note - If she is responding positively, keep going. If you start getting one word answers to everything or she doesn't text back, then stop texting her.

with some girls if u text too much it turns them off, and its better to wait

with some girls if u just wait around they forget you and/or think u don't like them cuz u didn't text

BUT:

1. it's all random and based off variables u can not know
2. calling a girl with a purpose and a plan is usually better than gay texting

and most importantly:

3. if you made a good first impression on her (and no, her giving you her number does not mean you accomplished this) then it does not fucken matter if you text her first or wait for her to text you


why so 진지해?

Texting is one of the great failures of the human race.

I long for the days when a real man would pen a letter on yellowed parchment to a fair maiden, speaking of how her flaxen hair and heaving bosom are akin to the moon and the stars, and how the ocean can be seen in her deep blue eyes.

Try not texting her sometimes and see if she initiates...there is no set rule and girls can have any variety of positive or negative reactions to too much or too little texting. Maybe try just straight up asking her (in person) if she is a big texter or not.

Don't listen to chef, he once made me a chicken dinner and while quite savory it was a bit dry. Definitely not what I would expect from someone with his moniker. On the whole a disappointing night.

Obviously everyone is different, but some girls/guys have their phones on them at all time, and can generally respond within minutes. Others may not have their phones with them constantly, or may have activities, hobbies and jobs that keep them from their phone. You can't accurately judge based on that.

For instance, most girls I dealt with up till now could be characterized by using their text response time/initiation and content to establish their interest level. One I'm currently interested in however, completely bucks that trend. She rarely uses her phone, and can go a very long time without looking at it, whether willing or able. She also has a busy work / hobby schedule, which leaves less time for correspondence.

Coming from my experiences, I initially felt her lack of initiation and long pauses might indicate disinterest and/or apathy. However, I wasn't discouraged (because there are always other possibilities) and went out with her a few times. Being with her, and talking openly with her about random things helped me see her personal perspective, and I don't have to guess about what it all means.

If you want to avoid the guessing game, try to get together with her. This will give you an opportunity to either ask her outright about her habits, or subtly work towards talking about things of that nature, and you can also observe how she treats her phone and other conversations with her friends. Perhaps she is just someone who views it as most people, where if people are interested in talking, they will send a message.

Obviously, if you both view it the same way, you'll never message each other, regardless of interest. Everyone always wants to test the other person. You can't be hung up or expectant of them in that regard. If you're interested in talking, send a message; if they reply, great. If they don't, don't assume the worst.
