Guys, Guys. Do short text replies really indicate lack of interest?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I know its cos he's driving. But most of time his answers or initial starters are "hey" "it's fine" "I'm cold". "Yh." After I write like a sentence or two. I do say hey I'll go now, let you chill. But he says "it's fine" or "ask me more" (if I was asking him fun questions). Today I asked of he had slept. "Nope" what's he doing "tv" do you mind me chatting? "That's fine until I fall asleep" ... other day when I asked if we should stop talking he said "As long as you keep talking, I will". Are we just really different type of texters! Sometimes feels I'm banging my head against a wall to try have a decent convo. He talks more in person. But is rare he can be bothered to meet up after his long working hours (60-70 hour week). I do really like him tho. But maybe I'm annoying him but he won't say so? Should I stop texting him? He usually does reach out when I stop.

Two days now. I haven't texted him and he is looking at my social media but not messaging me. Guess that answers that question!

I am the long-winded, one in our relationship, and she is usually to the point. We don't message a lot unless she's out of town. After a workday, people tend to be a bit more chatty. During the day, their minds are wondering with various concerns.

Thank you for the MHO selection

He’s not interested.

Well, in general yes it is surely an indication of lack of interest. On the other hand it is also possible that he is not a very focused person and is constantly distracted with things.

Either way it is not a good thing

No.
We are different.
Females yap.
We do not.

He has long work hours. I know it's tough, but it's understandable as to why he does this. It's normal.

Here's a idea... stop texting so much and pick up the phone... smh.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Talking is so much better! Especially in person

@MiddleAgedClimbee
Indeed.

When you get married, you will realize there is more to life than sex, you can even sleep naked with your partner on the same bed for 2 months without feeling any urge

Haha your telling someone who was married 12 years. And met at work and before mobile phones and texting so didn't have to decipher all this man code 😄
