Texting question/ question about love lmao

I’m from old school life of not texting first as a woman- this could be to my detriment. I think I give like really don’t give a fuck vibes that may eventually make a person think I don’t like them.

Tell me this/ do men need a good morning text? Am I ruining my love life by not being like a little stage 5 clingy? I think I went from that to the polar opposite but maybe I should stop.

I think I want to gauge how interested someone is in me by their texting or contact levels but do men do the same thing? Seems like if they do the same thing then it doesn’t really work haha.
Also what about/ hes just not that into you?

Anyways tell me the secrets of man

I don't need a good morning text, but I think your bigger issue is that everybody's running game these days, so it's hard to tell what people's intentions are.

Probably good advice- I don’t think I want to put myself out there like that.

Absolutely, men love wall of texts any time of day, not just the mornings. Nothing less than 8 full sentences per text. Send 5 or 6 of them in a row.

I say this not because we have beef but as a warning that we are close.

Srs, vry srs.

I'd focus on being honest and authentic. You do you, but tell him how you are and don't leave him guessing. Good morning texts aren't a requirement, but it never hurts to tell someone you care about when they can expect to hear from you again. And then actually follow through.

when you say you don't send a "good morning text" are you saying you ignore any other texts you previously had from the guy?

Brah, we are always cool. I'm just bs'n.

But definitely send a ton of text. Guaranteed positive outcome. Works every single time about 73% of the time.

No I don’t ignore anyone/ i just get to a point that if the person never texts again then it’s unlikely we will ever talk again and I’m left wondering whose fault it is . Especially if I liked the person

This last person was coming on to me super strong talking about down the road stuff and I wouldn’t commit to a date. It was like a week of talking but it felt too soon- I was upset they seemed to move on but I also have to question my role in that lol. And I made them initiate all convo

I think I just want to do better next time. I think I give off the vibe that I don’t care and it’s probably not good if someone is looking for someone that does care . My games are probably just for men that don’t want to commit right

I think asking you on a date after of week of talking is pretty normal. If you said no, they probably thought you weren't interested. Also, making the other person initiate all the convo...should never work like that. Good conversation should be a back and forth kinda flow...not one sided.

I don't know much about texting though. I can't stand it and my phone is off most of the time. :)

Good luck!

A good morning text from someone I am attracted to has always been received in a positive manner by my avatar’s central nervous system.

Chelly, listen to kimmy. Forget the "good morning" text and actually give him a good morning. All four of the straight miscers would agree that a morning bj is far superior. You do that, he will text you first on occassion.

Yeah this. You can only accomplish so much over texting before you're making false assumptions about the person. Better to meet them irl quickly enough to get a real feel for them.

If you can't sacrifice a couple hours of the week for one date, I'd say you're too busy to date/just not that interested.

Since I graduated high school, I've very much been a hater of games and signals. You give off "I don't give a fuk" vibes? I'm going to assume you don't give a fuk. You want to text? Send a text. If I'm the one putting in all the work initiating every single thing, then I'm going to assume you're not interested and a waste of my time. Should you send 400 texts a day? Obviously not... use your best judgement. And if someone can't tell the difference between interest/good vibes/open communication/want/attraction and crazy psycho 400 texts a day then that's a deal breaker in itself and works itself out.

If your tits are decent just send him a picture of them followed up with "smash?"

Then order food after.

If your tits aren't decent, best get comfortable with anal.

Good morning text has nothing to do with anything. Like all women you fixate on the things that don’t matter and you play the games that you don’t want played on you.

You used to be white-trash hot so you could skate by on that when you were younger but that isn’t going to fly any more at your age.

Let’s be realistic.

You’re 40+
Single parent to a teenager
Drug addicted past
Criminal record?

I’m not trying to be mean but you come with a lot of baggage.

On top of that, when a guy that YOU like wants to ask you out, you tell him no for a week and make him initiate every conversation in order to push the envelope to see how low he is willing yo go so you can judge how much he likes you.

If you told a bunch of female friends that that’s what a guy was doing to you, they would tell you that the guy is toxic and to run.

It’s not your fault. You probably grew up in an abusive broken home yourself. Since you never learned what a healthy relationship looks like, the best you can do is mimic the unhealthy ones you grew up with. That’s why you still have daddy issues at your age.

You should bring this up in therapy. You need more open and honest conversations about this stuff.


No disrespect of course

That’s not exactly what happened. He was coming on very strong and I was trying to feel him out. He asked me out on a weekend and I told him I was nervous about dating and I needed more time and he literally already had a girlfriend that same weekend.
So part of the games was me literally picking up on something. I don’t know if it even is games. If I’m catching a bad vibe and decide to go in observation mode. I probably shouldn’t second guess myself . My pattern recognition is also 100%

Also to add/ I didn’t meet dude on a dating site. We were in communications because our children are friends. The date question came out of nowhere and then I just wanted to feel him out for a little bit before going out with him.

 I think I want to gauge how interested someone is in me by their texting or contact levels but do men do the same thing? Seems like if they do the same thing then it doesn’t really work haha

You admit your problem, take accountability, then turn the whole thing around and say you actually have no accountability, were right the whole time and glad you did what you did.

Doesn’t that seem crazy?

No I think people are complex so I don’t think it’s weird that I don’t have a full answer to this . I probably will put in a little more effort next time but also i think if I feel iffy it’s probably for a reason.

Different guys are going to have different preferences on this based on their personalities and how they feel about you. If a guy is crazy about you he probably wants you to be a little clingy. If he's neutral and just gauging your chemistry together it might turn him off. If he's incel adjacent he'll probably take whatever you give him.
