And without a boyfriend, 2 or 3 a day
I can't help it, I miss him when he's not here and I can't phone him when I'm at college and he's at work .
Hurrah for unlimited free texts tbh >.<.
If I got 60 text messages on one day I fricken drown the cell in the donau (after I called the cops on the sender).
this is just my opinion and I don't say it's a bad thing for everyone, but this:
is a very, very undesireable thing (for me).
I like getting texts, and I am not bitter, but I think you can take it too far.
Imagine you are swimming or playing footie and you come back to your cellphone and have to wad through 20 absolutely inane texts whereas the last 4 couldn't even be received, because your inbox is bursting (and they have been all from your grandmother who is buried under her cupboard texting for help).
I thought I was clingy, but if I got a text saying "I was just having a poop." or "a coworker just tripped LOL." or "I just bought the freshest bottle of milk in my life." I'd have a word with my cellphone company to block certain numbers from contacting me.
I dunno. It's hard to justify sending so many messages, but to me it doesn't seem that many. It doesn't seem like I'm sending that many when I'm doing it, I didn't realise I'd sent so many until I checked. I don't send lots of messages when I know he's busy (key word there: KNOW), but because I get a bit insecure sometimes, if he doesn't tell me he's busy I have a tendency to think he's ignoring me. So he got about 6 messages from me this morning before I got a reply . I don't get lots of messages when I'm at work and I don't check it, because I don't reply, and so I don't get another one til I CAN reply. I guess it's kind of a security thing. My ex never used to text me at all hardly and it made me really paranoid about why. *shrug*.
I imagine when you two meet up.
"Hey boyfriend."
"hey how are you... oh nevermind answering that, I read it about 15 times."
"hehe... well what did you get up to today?"
"I told you about 23 times today already."
"yeah right... Wanna watch a movie?"
"you asked that already, I chose it too."
"ok. Let me tell you today..."
"you witnessed how somebody got mugged? horrible."
"yea... totally and I..."
"bought a new set of ear rings, right? Yea, I read that, like trice."
And we do have proper conversations sometimes. It's not always completely mundane stuff.
I feel really clingy now .
I don't see a problem with it, if he's the same way.
Different strokes for different folks, you know.
It's just my opinion, and I am an outlandish weirdo anyhoo.
i was just checking.
it just seems like my phone has become redundant and useless, whats the point in having a phone if nobody texts it. i remember a few months ago, when i lost my phone in my room. eventually after finding it a few days later, to my surprise, it was textless/missed call-less.
if i had no friends i would understand why i dont recieve texts/calls. but its the fact that i DO have some good mates around the country who never get in touch untill they get back home in the holidays. is it just the fact that im a bloke and single? do people who fall into that demographic qualify for not actually needing a phone?
humph
From my boyfriend, again hardly any! He rings me during the day if he wants a natter. I send him joke texts which I think are funny, he'll not reply then when he see's me he'll bring up the joke and take the piss. I reckon he's secretly tight with his text message funds cuz usually he replies to me over myspace which I might add, is when he is at work.
I use the SMS facility if the subject really isn't worth a phone call (i.e. I'll be 5 minutes late), but tend to avoid it.
My ex (dancer on skates in the clip in the other thread) used to use SMS or MSN to run her life! Was pretty "urgh", and I tried to keep it to a minimum where possible...
I just prefer face to face "human" contact to deal with people - although email is useful when dealing with friends who are abroad.
Are you intentionally trying to highlight exactly who your ex was in every post you make, or does it just seem like it to me? Are you expecting us all to go "wow, you lucky thing! I'm jealous!" or something? Why is it at all relevant who she is here?
He did it so we can stereotype her.
That sounds about right. Of course a little text here and there does not hurt. But he makes a phone call for a little chat (I do so too, after for example some things gathered together to properly speak about), and I prefer that much more than a silly emotion-less text.
He'll even come to speak of your texts which means he is thinking of it.
Be happy he's a ok with his finances, that's a good prospect for the future.
I don't like texting much anymore. Its such an effort. Ha. I prefer to have proper conversations hence why my minutes are more important than my text allowance.
I'd say though, if I'm not in a relationship, I get between 0-10 texts a day. It completely depends. If I'm in a relationship, it completely depends on the boy I'm dating. I've had exes who have been super clingy and sent loads and had others that don't send any at all. I prefer something inbetween. Not too many. Not none at all.
As for how many I send, I don't send many texts at all when I'm not in a relationship. Its like I only text when its necessary, lol. When I am in a relationship, I don't like to send too many because one of my exes said he didn't like it. Said it was a bit clingy and he wanted a bit of his own space so I kinda grew out of sending so many ages ago. I don't wanna come across as clingy! I think it depends on the person you are in a relationship with though. Personally, I don't like too many or like to send too many. I don't have enough time in my day to do that and personally, have much better things to do with my time.
I also find that when you text someone, it's hard to come across as genuine. I can't do those "Oh, I'm so sorry you broke up. Hope you feel better." type of texts, they just sound fake.
Exactly - pretty simple, huh?
Nice girl but it was infuriating not being able to discuss anything serious by any other means other than SMS/MSN as she felt uncomfortable doing so either on the phone or face to face.
Also - 1 post showing the girl, and 1 post referencing said post is hardly bombarding people. Jesus.
I hate clingy - puts me off almost instantly. One of the worst traits a person can have when it comes to a relationship for me.
My bf lives 100 miles away and I have two other close mates I'm usually always in touch with. Don't see anything wrong with it.
Today has been a bit different cos I sent one msg to fourteen people at once (letting them know the company I work for has been bought and I won't lose my job - hurrah!) so I've been getting lots of replies / questions about that Also, I'm off sick and bored!
But since I put an open can of Red Stripe in my bag the other night my phone refuses to work.
