From my experience, I know that texting all the time in the beginning doesn't necessarily lead to long lasting, loving relationship.

I have always been able to figure out a guys interest through their texting habits and has saved me time figuring that out early before I get involved.

When I start dating a guy/getting to know him, I don't need texting 24/7, but I do want to make sure a guy is interested before I proceed.

I am willing to take someone w/bad text habits as long as I spend quality time w/this person. I'm just trying to figure out this guy I'm starting to really like, I have posted about him before.

His text habits have been pretty consistent, but sometimes I get the feeling he isn't interested or doesn't care, due to long response time. He takes time to text in the morning and at night, so at least he thinks about me. Is this just texting habits or is he being nice? If he didn't like me I feel as though he just wouldn't text at all.

Honeypie agony auntI wouldn't gauge a potential partner on how much or how he texts, but HOW much time he is wanting to spend with me IN person.

Texting is not the end all or be all. At least not to me. I don't particularly like to text. My husband and I use it as "reminders" and not as a means of communication. I think it's a piss poor means of communication. Like Twitter. What can you really say in 140 characters that IS meaningful?

Does the guy pick up the phone and CALL you?

Does he take you out?

Does he treat you right?

Are the slow replies during work hours where he might ACTUALLY be busy?
