No, who said?
Actually if I text a guy first it means that I'm interested or just being friendly.
No, I think if a man thinks that, he has a inflated ego of himself.
If a girl doesn't start any conversations I stop talking to her altogether
No, you look interested, which is great. Guys want girls who are interested in us.
i would like that. it shows interest. I would never rejectca girl for taking the initiative
You sound shy! Really rock his socks and use the darned phone to speak to him! 😍😳☺️
Its all about the spark. If you see someone you like, go for them. Attention is flattering to everyone. Give it a shot.
Not at all text how you feel and you should be fine
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
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.
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.
Nah
I always text first to anyone usually cos I have no patiencey lol
yes girls are desperate
I would way rather have her text first to show me that she is actually interested
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
THIS! I feel like a nuisance every time honestly.
Ik man. It's so hard. And girls will never say hey, I'm sorry, I'd love to talk but now's not a good time. And when they do they never say when they're at a point where they can talk about what was going on or just to say hey I feel better we can talk now. Leaves us guessing when we don't even have facial expressions to read
define
'desperate'
bc i dont see ho it applies to texting- in whatever order that may be.
ahem-
how*
Not at all. I'm pretty terrible at starting conversations, so having that weight lifted off of me is well received.
Honestly no cause i always text people first to check if there good
Id appreciate it but would never expect it. You are fine
The basic technique is this:
- If you are interested in someone show it clearly.
- If the other person doesn't reciprocate, retire your attention.
looks like we have a clear unanymous answer from all genders here.
I actually like it. It shows she's interested and that makes me want to pursue her even more
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
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.
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.
No? I don't like having to be the first one to text but if I gotta I will
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.
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.
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)
I much prefer it when ladies text first it shows confidence and that's something I personally lack as far as starting conversations goes
No tht just tells me that you are actually interested in talking with me😁(which obviously would make me happy)
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.
NO. This is preferable if you text first sometimes i hate always initiating, makes me feel like i am forcing the relationship/friendship
Personally I believe girls over think it. I think when a girl texts forst she texts first. There is not much to it.
Definitely not, it's good when a girl is confident enough to text first
To my mind it's hard to text someone , so it's only encouraging to receive one from a girl you like
It looks very much you are bragging you are so much better then other girls.
Nope. Only if you text the whole fucking time lol meant for both genders
No gal guys love it when u text them first make them feel like u like them and that they are wanted ☺
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
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
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.
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.
Not desperate at all, I rarely ever text anyone first. I always just reply when people text me.
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.
No way, they look like they're actually interested instead of having us guess.
Nope, but they have that impression for various reasons.
No. Its just them being paranoid. Sometimes men are shy. If you like a guy. You should tell him.
It will matter depending on the guy. If he's immature he will want a chase. If not, it won't matter.
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.
Girls texting first in my opinion is absolutely necessary in this day and age.
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.
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...
No, they look like strong women that know what they want and go get it.
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.
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
There's a few people think that's wrong from girls to send text first but in my opinion that's not wrong
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.
There is nothing wrong with starting the conversation, doesn't make you desperate.
Aslong you keep it cool 😁. But the same goes for guys.
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.
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
