Text confidence??

I've been noticing a pattern lately, and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced/ noticed this too. Ok...so I've talked to/ gone out with a few guys now, and a lot of the time, I feel like they're hiding behind the security of text messeging. Don't get me wrong, I text as much as (if not more than) the average person. However, some of these guys rely too heavily on it to establish a connection, you know? For example: a guy I went to grade school with found me on Facebook and asked for my number. I thought it'd be nice to catch up with him, so we started talking, and he asked if I wanted to go to a movie with him (all via text messeges). Fine. So we go to the movie, and we barely talked before or after it, and I went home. Two minutes after I left the theater, I got a messege from him telling me how hot I looked and asking where his goodnight kiss was. WTF? And now I get a lot of messeges from him asking me out, calling me "hun" and "babe" and whatnot. It's weird. I also gave my number to a guy on Match, and we had some pretty good conversations (again via text), but when we talked on the phone, it was super awkward. Lots of pauses, no humor...ugh. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and we have a date set for later this week...so I guess we'll see.

On a happier note, I've been on 3 dates with bowling/arcade guy, and they've all been a lot of fun! Tonight we went to dinner and an improv show. I gotta say...as funny as it was, the sketch about vibrators was a little awkward.

  2. texting is a cop-out for guys! it's almost like that brad paisley song ... "i'm so much cooler online". some of these guys are so much cooler in texts. when it comes to dating, sometimes i wish texting didn't exist. now sexting, on the other hand, is an entirely different story ;)
