Texting my girlfriend

[iSX4man08]

Alright so i just started dating this girl and we both really like each other. The reason we ended up dating was because i was good at keeping conversation with her over texting when i first met her. But we've been on 5 dates already and like its alot more fun to talk with her in person and stuff instead of texting. Like i really dont like texting her 24/7 in school but she really wants to text. I really don't want to text during school it just gets boring but idk how to tell her i dont want to text. i keep making up excuses that i cant text and w/e but idk its just kind of annoying


any advice?

Be honest with her and say that i feel that talking to you in person is better then texting as you said it's more fun. Or you could tell her to slow down on it. I have had a similar situation with somebody and what i usually do is i pick up the phone and i call them because #1 i hate texting. Being honest is the best way to go about it. I hope this helps

Yup, i've been there before. The excuses worked surprisingly well. Eventually just tell her you hate texting on your phone (the keyboard sucks, T9 fails, whatever). I normally only text for a purpose, if i'm asking someone a question, etc. Just tell her you hate texting and talking in person is much more meaningful and effective.

Texting will bring down our society.

Compromise mate. Tell her you've been warned by your teachers not to use the cell whilst in class. At the same time, understand it's her way of reinforcing to herself that you're still interested in her, it's quite harmless, indulge her a bit.

Awesome replies.

I hate texting too. It still takes me like 5 minutes to respond, 'hey how r u?' lol I'm in a similar predicament with my friend who prefers texting over talking via phone. I don't know how long you've been dating, but if you're comfortable enough, wait for her to text you a question and respond with something like, "You realize I'll see you at lunch in like five minutes right? lol" That way she'll realize that she might be overdoing it, but you break it to her in a gentle way. Add a <3 or some sort of emoticon to show that you're just being playful and not aggressive. If you do end up talking to her about it (in person) just say that you honestly don't like texting, and that you'd much rather prefer to talk "to your beautiful face in person" :P

But on the other hand, as kyle95 said, it's a pretty harmless habit, so indulge her occasionally so she knows that despite your feelings about texting, you will make an effort sometimes to brighten her day. Part of being in a relationship is compromise like that. Hope that helps.

;D dont worry, this is what you're going to tell her:

babe, I love you so much(laugh a bit, naturally)
can I tell you something without you bother?(she most say: yes, of course)
Sometimes I don't feel comfortable texting at school, we can text but not all the day(and then tell her again you love hair, and ask her if she feels unmet with that) and thats it. :D

be niceeeee and chill
