    Why doesn't he text more often?
    I have been seeing this one guy for about 6 monthes and we don't talk on the phone very often because he's not that type, but we do text. There are days where we will have a full day of texting back and forth, and then he won't text me, so then I text him because I see no problem with the women texting the guy. But then he won't text me for like a couple days. What's up with that? Does he want me to be less available or what?

    Why don't you ask him instead of us? Obviously multiple things could factor into this, is he in school? Is he working? Is he just not interested? Is he not into texting? Sit down and talk with him. If in doubt, COMMUNICATE- not only is it the only fool-proof way to get an answer, it's also one of the most important ingriedients in a healthy relationship.

    Yep, he's got the answer not us.

    You said that he's not that much into talking by phone, he may feel like like about texting as well. Best to back off a little I reckon - no need to play games, but perhaps wait until you've got something to say. Girls tend to text about any old thing, but guys are different.

    Remember he's a BF, not a GF. Let him do the chasing, let him initiate the contact.

    We may be in the 21st century of so called 'equality of the sexes', but some rules still apply!

    Why don't you just see each other in person more often?

    Gemini: About the text taking over.. ;) I think its all about how easy it is LOL I know I have a tendency to text people more than calling them... hehe mostly cause the phone is with me everywhere and yeah... it really is a shame though. Because so many things get lost in the text... tone, face-to-face, voices. Hehe... anyway

    Over to the question of the thread. Asking him is a very good idea! Also trying to meet more face to face!

    But like Gemini said above, guys are different than gals when it comes to texting. I've noticed that the guys I know they never text unless they feel there is a question that needs anwering, or a comment that needs to be made. Same with the guy I've been seeing.

    Whilst.. I and the girls I know we can basically answer texts that don't really needs answering... hehe this is just an example...

    The real answer as to his ways lies with him.
