    Ok so I met this guy on Sunday night out in town, and at the end of the night he asked for my number and gave me his as well. We got on really well and he kept complimenting me and saying he wanted to meet me again etc. I left to go home and he told me to text him... i told him to text me first instead and we were kind of messing about for a bit.. then just as i was leaving he said whoever's better looking will text first... so anyway he texted me when he got home saying hi :) and i was asleep so obviously didn't reply til the next day, when I said hi back and I said something along the lines of 'can't believe you txt me first!'. Anyway, it's Wednesday now and I haven't heard from him at all... I'm dying to text him but my friends said not to because I text him last and he mustn't be that interested.. but then why did he text on sunday night when he got home?! he wasn't drinking that night so it's not like it was a drunken text!

    Just text him! Worse that can happen is he doesn't text you back and you know for sure where you stand, and there's not really much harm in that cause you don't know each other too well so no reason to be upset.

    Rules about who should text first are stupid.

    Pretend you are in a time machine and pick up the goddamned phone, dial a number and use your voice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    No rules apply in these situations if you want to text him then text him!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 152 ✭✭Feckfox


    Speaking as a guy, don't call him :p I hate when people call me (applies to anyone).

    But do text him!

    Just text him for gods sake, whats the worst that could happen?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,990 ✭✭✭JustAddWater


    Maybe its because you didn't ask him a question in your text... Some guys are like that!

    Hopefully not in your case. txt him. You have nothing to lose at all

    Best of luck! :)

    Text him asking how he is and how his week is going.
    Good luck :)

    Maybe he was unsure about how to respond to "can't believe you txt me first". A simple "hey, how are you" should do the trick!
    The worst that can happen is he won't reply. No biggie! At least then you'll know.

    Do it!

    Give him a ring tonight (9.40 or so, in case he's watching the Real Madrid v Barcelona match on right now), the longer you leave it the harder it gets.
    I (male) would prefer a call as i know its less easy than a text and shows a bit of initiative. Just ask are you up to much over the weekend, wanna meet up for a drink (coffee if u say he doesn't drink).
    Like you said, you hit it off...and he was sober. Exciting times eh..
    good luck

    If you want to text him, text him. I'm all for not appearing needy if someone is giving you the brush off or whatever, but lets leave the school-yard tactics in the past :)

    If you like him, text him. Or alternatively you can just wait for him to text you and in the meantime, some other girl who isn't so hesitant swoops in and beats you to it. If that doesn't motivate you, nothing will :D

    Good luck.

    :rolleyes: don't listen to your friends.

    How many commas did he use? If he used 6 then that means he's not into you, but if he used 2 exclamation marks then he'll text you next friday. Oh and a winky face, if he used a winky face you're in there. If he txted "nd" instead of "and", then he'll call you tomorrow.

    Do you see how ridiculous trying to analyse someone from a text message is OP??!

    If you want to text him, then text him, there's no harm in letting a guy know you're interested in him, i mean if you don't make some effort then how will he know you're interested in him?

    It's only a text.
    He'll either reply or he won't. Either way it's hardly the end of the world.

    Text him.

    Tell your freinds to STFU, while you text or ring him! Women! No wonder they can't read maps if they find relationships so difficult!:mad::mad::mad:

    jesus...txt him 'hey there, hows thing with you?'

    if he replies,

    then text 'drink this week?'

    you will know pretty fast if you are wasting your time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,660 ✭✭✭G86


    Since he asked for your number, I'm guessing he'd welcome a text....
