I gave my number to a guy on Sunday night. I enjoyed dancing with him the one time we actually danced. He sent me a text on Tuesday night. I answered him and we texted back and forth for a while tuesday. He seemed very nice. I made it a point to tell him that I just got out of a long relationship and was not looking for anything more than going out, dancing and having fun. He said "yeah me too". So after a little while I had to go. He sent me one of those chain texts. I sent it back too him. So I wake up the next day and he sent me a "Hello, Good morning sweetie pie" text. I didn't respond. He then sent me a text later that night asking me what I was going to be doing that night. I was at work so I didn't get to answer him. He sent me another chain text at around 11pm.
This is only the second guy I have given my number to since I left my husband. It took 4 months of me not responding to his texts before the last guy finally stopped texting. Now this guy seems like he is going to be the same. Why do these guys keep going over board with the calls and texts? I mean I specifically told this guy that I do not want anything serious. I can't handle serious right now. But every damn guy seems to go overboard.
What am I doing wrong? I thought girls were the ones that went overboard and got clingy.
The downside of the male drive to go meet girls is that it can turn into stalkerish behavior.
If you responded that you think he's texting you too much and to lighten up or forget you, it'll be a better and more respectful signal than silence. Guys hate silence because they're not mind-readers.
As an aside, I don't know of any girl that would consider a lot of texts from Brad Pitt or George Clooney as stalking. So I'm assuming you're not wildly attracted to him.
Right now, too many texts from any guy would not be great. I just got out of a long relationship and I know that it would not be a good idea to get involved with anyone (even Brad Pitt) right now because it would be a rebound which is not fair to me or the guy. But it is true I am not wildly attracted. I think if he texts again tomorrow, I will let him know to lay off. - 6 months ago

Maybe he just got a new phone and has no one else to text to so he is using for an excuse to figure all the ways of texting. Sorry, I got nothing.
Well, he is probably a desperate man, who seeks attention for woman, and wants to feel like all guys do. Important. I wouldn't suggest giving your number to complete strangers, but if it makes you feel better than go ahead. If this is the second time its happened, who's to stop it from happening again. If it bothers you that much, block his number or change yours.
I would say text is not the way to go! Either he is very insecure, or working women by the numbers to see which one of us will give in first! Hang in there Girl! I don't think you want this guy
