Do girls look desperate if they text first? (Page 5)

Question

Personally, I am one to text a guy first instead of me waiting for him. I have no problem in being able to start a conversation, especially with a guy I like. Does this make me look desperate or too easy if I text first all the time or do guys like it when a girl has the ability to easily start a conversation? Especially if that guy tends to be more introverted than extroverted in their nature.

Clyde_123 · Answer

No, who said?  Actually if I text a guy first it means that I'm interested or just being friendly.

GracefulCharm · Answer

No, I think if a man thinks that, he has a inflated ego of himself.

Canadaman99 · Answer

If a girl doesn't start any conversations I stop talking to her altogether

HikerDude · Answer

No, you look interested, which is great. Guys want girls who are interested in us.

Not at all text how you feel and you should be fine

Jerome7 · Answer

I would prefer if they didn’t over analyze it. If you want me talk or text me. Don’t hold back and hope. there's mo point

jersos1 · Answer

Not at all. It makes you more cool and out of the crowd. You aren't not a stereotype, which is a wonderful thing. Attractive.

Anonymous · Answer

Depends on the guy, for more of confident dudes, it might seem a little forward for them, but for more introverted/shy guys like me for example, we're quite oblivious to how a girl is feeling. As long as the conversation goes 2 ways and it's not simple awnsers from the guy, then it's fine to start the conversation.

nickyBBB · Answer

Nah I always text first to anyone usually cos I have no patiencey lol

thinktank00 · Answer

I would way rather have her text first to show me that she is actually interested

jimjam567 · Answer

No. A lot of times guys won't text a girl if he's the one starting every conversation because we start to feel like we're being a bother

UnaKaizen · Answer

define  'desperate' bc i dont see ho it applies to texting- in whatever order that may be.

EthanThiccBoi · Answer

Not at all. I'm pretty terrible at starting conversations, so having that weight lifted off of me is well received.

Mischeevous · Answer

KingZeus · Answer

Id appreciate it but would never expect it. You are fine

es20490446e · Answer

The basic technique is this: - If you are interested in someone show it clearly. - If the other person doesn't reciprocate, retire your attention.

Danayab · Answer

looks like we have a clear unanymous answer from all genders here.

IcyLemonade · Answer

I actually like it. It shows she's interested and that makes me want to pursue her even more

SirHac · Answer

I don't know about any other guy but for me its a godsend because I tend to suck at starting conversation in text chats

Silent_Bob · Answer

No, they don’t. It’s a little easier when they get the ball rolling. And like others said, it’s a fairly clear indicator that she’s interested.

just_here · Answer

I don't mind it, at least let's me know you have an interest so I might pursue it if you look good enough or seem appealing in some way.

Leafpool2 · Answer

No? I don't like having to be the first one to text but if I gotta I will

TiredMonkey · Answer

I like to do the chasing. However, I am terrible at it... so I rhink its a good thing you text first. Keep doing it.

NatePsychologyMajor · Answer

It's nice if a woman text first. It lets me know that they are in to me. It's make me feel better and it's easy to go from there.

BeardedMenace · Answer

It's cool as long as you're not bombarding him with texts throughout the day (unless you've been dating for awhile and he's cool with it)

Echosvoice · Answer

I much prefer it when ladies text first it shows confidence and that's something I personally lack as far as starting conversations goes

Don_Law · Answer

No tht just tells me that you are actually interested in talking with me😁(which obviously would make me happy)

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

No girls don't look desperate if they text a guy first  Some of us guys are shy and can't be the first to text.

dawnhour443 · Answer

NO. This is preferable if you text first sometimes i hate always initiating, makes me feel like i am forcing the relationship/friendship

MoonChaserxx · Answer

Personally I believe girls over think it. I think when a girl texts forst she texts first. There is not much to it.

Jjay2000 · Answer

Definitely not, it's good when a girl is confident enough to text first

Raw1512 · Answer

To my mind it's hard to text someone , so it's only encouraging to receive one from a girl you like

carncars · Answer

It looks very much you are bragging you are so much better then other girls.

melanieeeB · Answer

Nope. Only if you text the whole fucking time lol meant for both genders

stephaniegirl97 · Answer

No gal guys love it when u text them first make them feel like u like them and that they are wanted ☺

Skyrex111 · Answer

Some of the men will think that... but not me... if the girls think about what they need instead of what people think.. that's the best thing you can get in a girl

waelRashad · Answer

Everything is easy now Adam's doesn't matter who call or who text first as long mutual attraction exists but send no more than one or 2 text until u get a reply

quietman4875 · Answer

I think most guys would appreciate it. Especially if they are like me, I'm very introverted so I have a hard time initiating contact I'd be really happy if the girl got the ball rolling.

StormySkies95 · Answer

I don't think that makes a girl look desperate, personally I love when a girl texts me first bc if I'm the one who always has to text first then I feel like maybe the girl doesn't like me very much.

Cocacolamm · Answer

Not desperate at all, I rarely ever text anyone first. I always just reply when people text me.

tokiomango · Answer

You never look desperate. Its honestly a true relief on the guys part because they're socially known/pressured to make the first move. It also shows to the guy that you show genuine interest in them too.

Robsinsf53 · Answer

No way, they look like they're actually interested instead of having us guess.

phoenix5142832 · Answer

Nope, but they have that impression for various reasons.

DollySummers · Answer

No. Its just them being paranoid. Sometimes men are shy. If you like a guy. You should tell him.

ckjtay · Answer

It will matter depending on the guy. If he's immature he will want a chase. If not, it won't matter.

kryptonian1982 · Answer

I don't think texting first makes any difference. But if I really like you and you text me first, I'll be on cloud 9. But after that if you expect me to reply to all your texts immediately then that might make you look desperate.

MatthewJ42 · Answer

Girls texting first in my opinion is absolutely necessary in this day and age.

Priiime · Answer

It depends if it happens all the time. If the dude never is starting first, either he isn't interested or is too shy. Either way, you'd want to have a conversation about it if you're always starting a conversation.

NvrEngh · Answer

Not at all the Dynamics gave shifted... Many times in today's society guys are worried maybe they had something wrong and don't want to be seen as"that" guy. It's actually welcomed and nice to not have to guess...

wise1answersall · Answer

No, they look like strong women that know what they want and go get it.

dogedoge12 · Answer

It shows that you're either interested in some way, doesn't really mean in a sexual way. It also means to the guy that you're not simply using him as some sort of anchor to boost your ego and then ditch him or something similar.

A-BEN · Answer

Well depends on the guys that you like I guys, guys that have no problem with gender issues would not mind, for me, it doesn't matter at all

afshinxy · Answer

There's a few people think that's wrong from girls to send text first but in my opinion that's not wrong

Arthur15 · Answer

We love it, because first of all it could be a sign that you're into the guy, and second of all it takes the pressure off of us.

jamaletje · Answer

There is nothing wrong with starting the conversation, doesn't make you desperate.  Aslong you keep it cool 😁. But the same goes for guys.

Nikcole · Answer

I usually wait for the guy to text! But if I haven’t heard from him in two days I will text. But If get the same pattern like before then I just stop.

Maxemeister · Answer

Not desperate, but INTERESTED. That's actually way better than otherwise. Her initiating the conversation means SHE wants to talk as wlel, not just me
