Can a boring texter turn you off?

Can a boring texter turn you off where you are no longer interested in dating the person? Guys or girls can answer.

Texting is boring and I don't use it unless I really have to. It's more about the real conversations you have. Even chatting can become a bit, it's simply because you don't see the other person's reaction. This is the advantage of video chat where you can see a person's facial expression which makes it a more 'humane' conversation with some feeling.

Texting is just plain text and feels very impersonal, so sole texting cannot turn me off.

It depends. If I really like her and we get along well in person and see each other fairly often, then I can tolerate it. However, if we barely see each, then I'll start losing interest. Of course, other than setting up a date, I generally don't text much anyway.

I don't like texting either. I'd rather have real conversations. You can be anyone over text, it lacks the same intimacy and bond. And plus I don't have time to be constantly texting someone. I don't mind the odd cute message but if you want to know how my day is then call me or visit me.

If conversation is more work and less flow, it definitely turns me off. I get tired of "trying to come up with something to talk about", so if the conversations don't flow naturally, I'll find myself talking to them less and less. When it's not there, it's not there. You can't force it.

Yes. I don't like to text much. 'How are you' gets very old after a week. I don't text unless I have something to say. If he can't carry on a short conversation there's no point for me to continue.

No because I don't place any importance whatsoever on texting. What WOULD turn me off and make me lose interest is if they communicated primarily through text and not picking up the actual phone.

YES! but If I like the person I ultimately wouldn't be completely turned-off by their text habits I would just not have much text conversations with them.

I don't text lol. But I do use IM on messenger once in a while and it can be a turn off if the person makes it difficult to talk to. If all they can say is yes or no to anything you say it adds nothing to the conversation and it can become tedious.

[Lommelun]

No, but a person who values texting as a non-zero contribution to human interaction does not contain my interest very long.

[pooper89]

Yeah but tis not a big deal. I can be a boring texter myself because I don't like texting.

[sparklingrose]

Yes, because texting "hi" and "how are you" gets old and boring and you get to a point where you just delete them and talk to other people that are of interest to me and that I feel we have things in common and can enjoy talking to each other.

If it continually get boring like convestation after convesation I would be turned off because we have nothing incommen.
