Why do people feel the need to call or text in-between dates?

[Anonymous]

If you've recently organised a date in the next few days, what's the need to text or call in between?

I'll admit, I used to do this so often when I was younger. All that would happen is that once the date came, we had already talked about our week, and we ended up awkwardly searching for other topics.

Not texting or calling means you have 4-5 days to talk about and anything that comes in-between.

It also builds mystery, which is exciting.

It's called communication.
That is what us older people do.
You can talk about anything.
Current events, travels, work, what you did saw anything that happened.
Pretty hard to cover all of that and more in a text.
It is a skill that some people are really good at.
I had a former girlfriend that was really gregarious.
She could step into a room ful of strangers and carry on like she knew them her whole life.

You can do ALL that in person.

[Fireguy17]

who knew?

[Asker]

That's my whole point. If you're seeing eachother in person, there's no need for chatter by text.

[Fireguy17]

That's so old school!

Maybe you want to enjoy the other person prior to the date.

[Asker]

But wouldn't it be so much better if it were in person?

[Ironic_Method]

That's not always an option.

Sometime's people want to still communicate with each other and not wait 5 days for a conversation. Lots of people are eager to talk/have contact with the person they're interested in and still would have topics to speak on when they finally see each other. This is the case at all ages, not just like... teens. Personal preference.

[Fireguy17]

I never understood the waiting game, that you ahd/were supposed to wait so long.
By that time someone else could swoop in and now you missed your opportunity, you laid the ground work, now someone else is getting laid.

To talk a bit, like I found out my girlfriend's birthday and age through texting

[Asker]

And how long did spend texting on that particular occasion?

[Twalli]

Not sure. We dated 1-2 times a month at the start and talked once a week.

[Guy13]

They are women.

[Guy13]

They need love and it starts with reassurance.

[Asker]

What?

Both men and women do this.

[AshKet]

I second this

[Guy13]

And it can end with a woman who does not know how to handle Power, given.

If you do not take the Risk, you’re already screwed. CALL ☎️ next text. I’m telling a call is listening and hearing.
