Why do men send pointless texts?

[Anonymous]

Why does a man I had a great date with (37 years old) text 'hiya lovey' then I replied 30 min later with ' hiya love' and then nothing...no chat...I've not heard from him...what's the actual point?

Thanks

Text is really not a great way to communicate emotions. In my opinion texts are best for conveying simple facts - like "I'll be there @ 10:00" or "I"m running late".

If you've got genuine feelings for someone then communicate in a way you can convey them. Face to face is the ideal - but phone calls are the next best thing. So call him - encourage him to call you.

Another thought: Sometimes after a date, even a 'great date', I need my down time. Time away from the girl to recharge my batteries (charming a girl can actually take it out of a guy - I think because all senses are on heightened alert, you know?) so after a date maybe don't get a hold of him, but wait for him to get a hold of you.

One thing you should know about guys is we like to do the chasing - and we'll chase when we've got you on our mind. If we're taking some downtime and you sorta chase us that is not a good thing.

So play a little hard to get - we actually kinda like that.

Hope this helps...

bored, wants attention, feels lonely, is waiting in a public place and needs something to do, suddenly thinks of you, wants you to think of him, that kinda thing.

He may have thought you were mocking him. I would have. Especially when he text you something cheesy like "hiya" Just a thought though.

I used too talk to a guy and he would send me all kinds of weird things and odd pictures like of trophies and places where he was. I guess its better than a guy ignoring you. He apparently was thinking about me so that made me happy. I just text back with a question or comment about what it is about and start the conversation. Sometimes its hard for guys to initiate a conversation so if he texts you take advantage of it. :) Have a great day

maybe he freaked out when you called him "love". As in that's an extreme sentiment for just one date.

Cause you took too long to text back he won't bother

LOL I THINK IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
