Is it possible older guys are terrible at texting? (Page 3)

Anonymous · 2022-07-03T22:33:13Z

My boyfriend is 30 and he is a terrible texter. He will reply after hours or reply with something completely dismissing my original text. With phone calls, we can talk for hours and hours. When we first met, he would put a lot of effort into texting me, asking me questions about myself and making clear he was seeking a relationship. He was still kind of rubbish at texting sometimes but much better than now. I’ve confronted him and he says he forgets and doesn’t realise. Is it possible that as an older guy he’s just bad at texting? I’m asking because I miss him all the time and want to feel closer to him.

  I was born before social media is what it is
  
  AND I DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT
  I saw the beginning stages of social media
  
  and eventually realized it was leading to something bad

Sorta but, not really. by definition, conversations aren't really meant to be done by text

I am terrible at texting, but I think that it has more to do with my autism than my age.

  There maybe times stuck with work, but a lot of us maybe just really bad at texting in general. From slowly writing our messages to not knowing the jargon that's being used.

  But I have a question for you. Is he good to you?

  Apart from the texting issue yes.
  
  He always picks up the phone when I call him. He listens to me. He’s accountable. He’s responsive to things I worry about. He wants to make me feel safe with him.
