If when a guy only texts at night means he's just using you, is the same true for parents who only call at night, only instead of sex, it's emotional?

[Bethany22]

Everyone says that a clear sign that a guy just wants you for sex is when he only texts/calls at night, and that if he actually is serious about you as an individual, he will call you during the day as well. So what does it say about parents who only call in the evenings, even on weekends, when they know you're not working? Does anyone else think that evenings are an intrusive time to call, even when it's parents who do it?

As a small business owner, I have occasional work-from-home days, or days where I have to wait on someone else and I can't proceed or leave, so I can talk or text, but most work days, I am driving, talking to (often impatient) customers, or working with tools, often doing things that I already don't have enough hands to do safely. I have no time for non-emergency conversations most work days.

My last girlfriend, who was young (22) when I met her and had only had one job with limited responsibilities in an office, couldn't understand why I didn't call her during the day. So one day, I told her that she was coming to work with me, and was going to follow me around all day. She was worn out before lunchtime, and she wasn't even the one doing the work - she was just watching me work. I never heard another complaint from her about me being busy at work - she even told other people not to call me at work because my job was too demanding. Lol.

The point is, it's unreasonable to expect people to be at your beck and call when they have a job and responsibilities. If they are calling you on their free time, that's all you can reasonably expect.

Night is when I have time to actually have a conversation. During the day I'm working, I have to run errands, I'm dropping my kid off or picking him up, I'm cleaning, I'm doing repairs on my house... At night I can actually take time to sit and devote my attention to a conversation.

I don't think your parents call you for a booty call lol I would say it means nothing at all, also evening's are okay and booty calls mostly happens after 10 pm and more

[DizzyDesii]

More so if a parent only calls when they want something (a favor usually monetary) then they’re just using yoj

[OlderAndWiser]

Maybe some guys don't call dutng the day because they are focused on school or work. I RARELY call my girlfriend during the day and we live together.

[Staximus]

No, that's when most people have free time and aren't working or doing chores. You're putting too much mayonnaise in the sandwich and trying to read into shit too much. You're trying to find faults or self serving intentions but that is not true most of the time. If somebody wants to talk to you, they will. If they don't, then they won't bother.

[AimeeKyle]

Maybe but Not necessarily…. unless his texts are only discussing sex. For myself, I have busy weeks/months where I am totally immersed in my work and message during down time (which is usually at night)…. but that isn’t constant thing either. Ultimately I think it depends on your conversation topics, that will help you determine his motives.

[SnowedIn]

I disagree with the assessment for both the guy or for parents. Everyone's day is different. I think it's up to the person and the guy or the person and the parents to communicate about what works best for them.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Some people could only call or text at night while others can call anytime of the day also parents do the same thing don't mean they just want sex but if guys only call or text at night for just sex talk.

[HighValue]

False. If someone doesn't slack off at work, night is the only time they could call you legitimately. Same goes for parents unless they are retired.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

In my case, I might not be able to connect with her until the afternoon or night due to work load or weekend chores or meetings or my medical needs. Have you talked to him about why he doesn't contact you in the day?

[es20490446e]

If I just texted someone during the night it would be because I have been just super bushy, and I can't just put work on hold for leisure.

[Mansearching]

I don't text my girlfriend during day bc we both work. Parents don't wanna disturb you at work either.

[Shy_Steve]

Us Guys would only text at night just because you are more than likely alone when you receive.

It's got nothing to do with wanting Sex just at night.

[Jamie05rhs]

Nope. It means they're trying to live their lives. No one has time to text all day long.

[Jennz6]

It’s okay but I don’t get the part about the parents?

[justFriend]

You can't compare a person who wants sex with a parent. I guess you're not parents.

[shortster]

I work evenings; so I generally text late at night.

[Sasha0426]

I’ve never heard of this 🤔

[LemiaOfThunder]

I'm not comfortable with speaking on the phoned.

[LiamJHayden]

Probably true

[EaterPeter]

Depends
