I’ve been talking to a guy for a week now. He likes to stay up late and I’m a morning person. He already knows this. Sometimes when it’s a little close to when I usually go to bed he’ll message something like I hope I’ve caught you before you’ve tucked yourself in. We’ve been talking every night but I always fall asleep first so the conversation ends with me leaving him hanging. I think he knows that I’ve fallen asleep though since he doesn’t keep going if I haven’t gotten back to him. I’ll respond to his last message the next morning around the time I’m having breakfast - that would be around 6AM. I know he’s still asleep and don’t really expect a reply until a little before lunch. I’m just wondering if it’s annoying or comes off a bit needy of me to be texting him so early in the morning. I know some guys get put off with a good morning text so early on in getting to know someone. I thought about holding off messaging him until later in the day, but I mean if I’m on my phone already, I figured it would be rude not to reply. Are there appropriate window hours to be messaging a guy?
No, it's not annoying! (I read your whole post.) Thank you so much for asking us about this. I completely understand how there would be a question in your mind on this issue. But I can fully and completely assure you that there is nothing to worry about! :) You are doing exactly the right thing! And I'm sure he is thrilled to see your messages right when he wakes up. (If it were me in his shoes, I would love that!) So please, please do not worry about a thing. You all are doing just fine, and this is so cute and sweet! I love and support you both, and I wish you nothing but the best in your relationship! Keep on keeping on!

I think it's fine to message him when you are awake. It shows that you are willing to reply on his last message and when he wakes up ihe sees the message letting him know that you aren't letting him hanging because of disinterest. It automatically tells him you fell asleep the evening before instead of giving him te feeling that you aren't willing to text him back or dont care. So yeah, my advise is to just text him when you are awake because it tells him you think about him so early in the morning
I honestly wouldn’t care to send him a morning text, that’s not being needy in my opinion. I doubt a text message early in the morning would make him annoyed. And if it does annoy him, then he ain’t worth the time. A guy who truly likes you wouldn’t freight over something little like that.
The very thought that I’m in someone else’s thoughts at any time of their day and they want to check on me makes me happy and not annoyed. Unless I don’t feel the same as them. Then it gets nipped in the bud pronto.

I text when it's convenient to me. If time was of the essence they should have called. I get up earlier than just about everybody I know. If they don't want to be bothered they can turn their phone on silent like an adult.
Especially when you're misled to think that there is an urgency or emergency when there isn't.
There’s a “do not disturb” icon I click on when I’m not in the mood to message anyone.. I dont have to apologize or explain myself
No, it's not.
Early morning messages from office is. Early morning calls from anyone is.
Your circumstance? nope.
Thats the beauty of massages, you can read and reply to them when you are ready.
Very annoying. That is one of the reasons I have messages disabled on my phone. It is nothing but a nuisance.
I'm fine with them as long as I don't lose any sleep. But ask him how he feels?
It depends from who and on what platform
no beats having no messages
