I hate it when ppl call me when I am busy (at work or out with friends chatting or worse when I am in the washroom taking a shit).

this needs to be a poll.


also op what did you end up doing... call or text?

ZN6 12-08-2014 10:00 AM

You guys are idiots. Everyone knows the best way to do it for maximum clarity is to get two phones and talk while texting exactly what you are saying so the tone is there along with the subtitles. That'll show her. :accepted:

Call dude

It projects that you don't got a vagina and doesn't give her the time to think about how to shoot you down.

It's harder to reject somebody through talk

hahahah this is true... that's why I like texting

Also curious what OP ended up doing!
I say call if you're arranging a date, especially first date. It shows more interest and effort. After that, text is fine, but the odd call is nice. Sometimes hearing the voice of the person you're dating can make you smile. Text if you're just saying 'hi' or seeing how their day is going or something benign.

I always text for first contact then once contact has been established I call them work my magic and set a date up.

_cnh 01-03-2015 02:26 PM

I personally text message them until I know them well enough to casually call them

Durrann 01-11-2015 06:24 PM

Text doesn't always warrant a response lol

If you're trying to get a first (or second) date, I would call... calling puts people on the spot, and they are forced to come up with an answer "right now". Basically, it's harder to reject someone when you're talking to them in person. Whereas, with text, you don't even have to respond. And you can wait for hours to come up with the perfect excuse. Voice doesn't give the other person that luxury.

Most guys that are persistent and keep texting 90% of the time get lead on or friendzoned.

I'd say you'd have a much better chance of the girl texting you back if you stopped.. it might take a while but she'll text you :P

from personal and friends experiences.

mr_chin 01-27-2015 11:44 AM

I send letters. :alone:

BrRsn 01-27-2015 12:08 PM

stand outside her window with a handful of pebbles and a guitar


throw a few rocks at her window, when she comes out start strumming the guitar and singing "ooooh baby I love the way" by peter frampton


:fuckthatshit:

How do you send dick pics via mail? Do you just trace the general outline of it onto the back of the letter?

A guy is only getting "friendzoned" or lead on because she isn't interested in the first place. If she's interested she is going to love the shit out of a guy who texts her all the time. Persistence is only unattractive if you're not attracted to them. Not texting her is not going to make her like you and text back unless she already was into you. It might get her to text you back if she misses having you to lead on.

The difference between creepy and charming is the level of attraction you feel towards someone.

This is very true^^
but also, a lot of guys missed their chance because they were too afraid to ask me out, so we remained friends. They told me later how they felt but it was already too late.
But like you said, when my bf and I started dating (and the few weeks leading up to it) we would text each other everyday almost all day and I started ignoring other people until they basically gave up. Even now I get get excited when I see a text from him on my phone.
I'm not trying to be a conceited bitch or anything, I think girls are really complicated but then again, so are boys.
If a girl is really into someone the guy loses interest, it seems like there is always one person more into the relationship than the other.

I'd easily lose interest for several reasons:

to clingy - wanna text all day? sure, but don't make it a habit to text non stop. if i haven't replied yet, dont keep sending me texts. I will read and reply when I've time.

sleeping - If it gets to that point, and you wanna cuddle...sure. but if I'm pulling hair out of my mouth non stop and try to reposition myself so i can get hair free but only to have you adjust yourself right after I'm done leaving me pulling hair out of my eyes/mouth/nose/facial hair then I'm going to get fed up if it continues all night leaving me without sleep.

PDA - no....sorry, but no. we dont have to walk down the streets or through a mall like nuns keeping our hands to ourself, but I honestly dont want to make out with you at every bench we come across or have to hold your hand the whole time. If we're not holding hands, and you find it necessary to wrap your arms around me like we're hugging while walking....thats going to be the last time we go walking around like that. I'll instantly lose interest the moment the night is over.

there may be one person whos more into it than the other, but the person who's into it more is probably smothering the other person to the point where they just want to run away.
