Do guys like it when the girl starts the conversation over text?

Question

Matthieu-G · Accepted Answer

No. I hate it. And here is why:

I would rather SPEAK to you then TEXT to you. A lot of the magic of conversation in a relationship is about FEELING each other's presence. What do you feel in a text? Nothing. You miss out on subtle smiles, sexy interactions and many opportunities to touch each other. Texts... are for setting appointments to meet you, not unload emotional issues. Do that in person so that the communication lines remain open.

Meh. In person would be far more effective in my world. The exception being if I exchanged numbers with someone and they later initiate. For the first text exchange, that would be something. A woman I was once quite fond of who I gave my number to did this. I'd be remiss if I said it didn't place a shit eating grin on my face. So at least for the first round of text I guess yes it does.

If you wanna talk to me you text me first. Period.

YourFutureEx · Answer

Like it? We love it. When a girl sends you the text first, it clearly tells us that the girl is honestly interested in talking to us.

Expecting guys to initiate every single thing is so 20th century. Whoever feels like talking should send a text regardless of the gender.

The whole "he's a guy, so he should text me first" and "playing hard to get" is so repellent.

As I often say, nothing is sexier than the girl who makes the first move.

I hate texting, then again I got my first mobile when they very first came out in the UK, the phone was expensive, calling was expensive, and you couldn't text!
Texting can lead to misunderstandings, for example, if I am with a female friend and she says something daft and I reply with, ' behave you silly cow', you can tell by the tone of my voice that I'm joking, you can't do that with a text and then people fall out, so no, I'd much rather be spoken to that texted.

sawno · Answer

Yes, infact with me its mandatory since ill stop initiating after a while and assume she is not interested if she does not initiate herself.

AlexanderBrunnrgaard · Answer

She doesn't have to start it, I'm happy to initiate, but I do appreciate it if she responds within the freaking day. I've had girls, "play hard to get", by not responding for 48 hours. That just annoys me and makes me loose interest.

JamesBoradil03 · Answer

yes its annoying asf when i have to constantly start the text. i ean damn can't the woman ever show that she misses me or wants to talk to me, when a girl hits a guy up first it always brighens up our day cuz it means they actually carea about us

Haelaeix123 · Answer

I do actually, at least some of the time because it makes me feel like she's invested something into the friendship or relationship and actually wants to talk to me
