    Try third base?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Cut out the texting and try talking to him sometime.

    Like before maths class?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭wazky


    Ah yes this is a typical reaction, kind of a man code thing.

    Basically means he wants a finger up the bum when you two mate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,273 ✭✭✭EuskalHerria


    Turned off? Depends how dirty the txt is.

    Ask him to marry you and he'll come running.

    Anybody I meet until March will be know by the number of Saturdays since Christmas at the time of meeting.

    Also, for the sake of gender symmetry...all men are the same yada yada yada... thanks whoring indignation.

    Men love texts, send as many as you can. The longer and more detailed the better.we can never have enough.
    The best texts are those follow-up text messages asking us if we received your earlier message.
    Nothing better than waking up to find tens of texts especially if you can trace the emotional rollercoaster on the other side from one sided idle chat to bunny boiler.

    depends on how hot you are really.

    I could have written this post myself. Don't do it. If he wants you he'll text you.

    Men r bastards hun. Yolo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73 ✭✭JackF1


    Stop the games. If you like her she texts you first well hey at least your being thought of.
    Everyone would gain from a bit of hey I actually like you honesty!

    Immediate boner tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    You know, call me crazy but a woman texting first... or heck even a man or woman texting ten minutes after a phone number was given says they are into you. Which personally I like :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    I could have written this post myself.
    You could and you didn't; kudos to you.

    No if she has enough self worth she'll go and find out if he likes her and if not move on. Its really not that hard to be straight about these things..

    If he liked her enough she wouldn't be the one wondering about texting.

    I've awful high standards about relationship etiquette though OP, I really wouldn't listen to me, I'm always pissed off at a guy for some reason or another.

    Not in the least. Always having to be the icebreaker gets a bit exhausting sometimes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,440 ✭✭✭Stavros Murphy


    A hot chick texted me there yesterday. I was stoked. Hell Yeah! Turns out she wanted to know when we'd be back to fix the mess we'd made of her artic trailer. That was slightly less stokey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    Don't worry OP. I come from times past when you had to arrange a meeting point and hope you weren't stood up. You would also hope he wasn't laughing his arse off at you with a bunch of his mates through some random window, seeing you turn up all forlorn. Be straight up and ask your future uzzband and never mind this silly beggars stuff.


  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    if you've been only kissing him and he has the option to get an actual ride from some other girl he's probably more into that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles

    Is that immaturity or do you take other issues out on him? Genuinely curious if you know why.

    It's not immaturity. It's not one guy either.

    Dya get furiously angry if they don't do exactly as you say?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis

    Ah no!! Im not THAT bossy. I just have things that I personally like a guy to do in the early stages. If I feel like im constantly doing the chasing from day one it sets alarm bells.

    Well that's different to always being annoyed at a guy for some reason or another!! If you're not happy then fair enough, but it came across like you were pissed off with them for the sake of it.

    I'd go the other way. There's a fine line between letting a girl know you like her, and being too overbearing.

    Ya wanna do the first one, yet avoid the second!

    Hi Hun How R U Bbz?

    Feck texting.

    Guy & Girl conversing minus body language and tone of voice = miscommunication and certain failure.

    Mostly-ish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,061 ✭✭✭leggo


    If you're thinking about something trivial this much, it's not working. Though maybe you're trying to convince yourself otherwise. Working relationships are easy (at the start at least) because these questions take care of themselves. Though maybe you can wear him down and enjoy 6 months of further unfulfilling torment.

    Is there some coded filth in this post? I mean in the grace jones "pull up to my bumper baby in your long black limousine" kinda way? I'm going with yes but to be fair lad, you'd be better of with a sprinter or even a transit, an artic trailer sounds a bit rough. How big a mess did you ye make of her?

    Never be the first to send the text all the time. Because ..........etc

    You have to stick it in.

    No coded filth. I just don't get many texts. :(

    No, why would it be a turn off? :confused: I'd be delighted. The only texts I ever get are from Vodafone. :(

    If there's one thing I absolutely detest it's the mindgames around texting that both men and women seem to do.

    +1, all this, "ohh you have to wait at least 24 hours", or "you don't want to text too soon or she'll think you're desperate." load of bollix.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2 The Spirit Pepper


    Not a fan of text games myself, I think playing games like that is a sign of desperation in itself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭systemicrisk


    My advice is text if you like him and want to contact him. However if you are constantly making the effort and he doesnt bother then dont keep chasing him.

    +a millionty.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    This was a joke OP, I don't recommend doing that at this stage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    If I like a man, I text him. If he doesn't like me texting him because I'm a woman, then I would no longer want to text him.

    If two people like each other enough, they won't mind who does the texting. Fact.
