I'm not sure I neccessarily believe that...at least I hope I don't!!

Exactly. I sometimes reply straight away to people (such as if I've text them and still have my phone on) and it has nothing to do with liking them - it's because I'm not busy. If I'm busy, then I will reply when I have 2 minutes.
The not replying to his texts drives my increasingly paranoid and worryingly mad boyfriend mental though. Sometimes I don't reply to wind him up.
I don't really know him well enough to just randomly phone him up. A text is just safer. Call me a coward, call me an idiot, but that' just the way I feel!

I'm the same, I recently called a friend for some advice, never called them on the phone before and I was a lil scared,,I love talking on the phone, but hate making the call. Incase I'm bothering them or something.
Totally agree!
Agreed.
They are a close enough friend you're asking for advice, but you feel strange phoning them? How odd if you don't mind me saying.
God no, it wasn't like that. I text him at 9.45am one morning and he didn't text me back until 7pm. I'm just not used to people not texting me back for so long. I would never constantly text. If I don't get a reply, I don't text again usually until I do because I totally don't want to come over as being needy.
I think it's because I had an ex who treated me really badly and just never bothered with me and ignored me and it makes me very nervous when someone who claims to be interested in you and wants to get to know you then just ignores you. But I totally get that it can be because they just can't text.
Or maybe just playing hard to get :chin:
I'm just going on my own feelings of what I'd do in this situation. I've never been one for playing stupid games so I don't do the "hard to get" crap. To be honest if I was getting a titful of a woman texting me I'd be honest and just tell her (as gently as possible of course) but then again loads of my mates are the type who would just ignore her.
What's the point of "Hard to get"?
I agree, i dont see the point at all, its just a waste of time.
As with all things, only time will tell what will happen between you two so you just have to wait it out im afraid, no point guessing until you know for sure
I think it is down to the person you are waiting for a reply from, not their sex. Equally it involves not being obsessed with your phone.
True, but I was ranting hence the gender specific!!
:yes: I'm not glued to my phone and so anyone who textxs me, generally has to wait.
Haha that reminds me. When I had a girlfriend in the mid90s, generally before people had mobiles, I would get impatient if Royal Mail delivered a love letter 1 day too late
