writes: I asked this guy out and he said yes but I constantly get the urge to text him-when I do text he texts back but he never initiates the text. He would never randomly text me-is it a bad idea for me to be constantly txting him, could it scare him off?? Is the fact that he isnt texting me spontaneously show that he doesnt like me as much as I like him?

 I agree with Dr pete,some people like to txt more then others,i wouldn't read too much into it though.Send him txts by all means,at least he does reply back....i would only worry if he never responded to your messages.

How can someone miss you if you're never gone...plus with texting all the time you completely eliminate the suprise element in a conversation, making conversation much flatter as he already knows what you are doing all the time. I would say fight the urge to text so much. I hate it, as do most of my male friends. This is probably a reason he doesnt initiate text...

Tell your boyfriend you really like it when he texts you, even if it's just to say Hi, or some random update of what he's doing and hopefully he'll take it in to consideration and initiate sending you some texts!
Definately not a bad sign of a relationship though, try not to worry! :)

 Call me old-fashioned but I can remember a time when people actually rang each other, and talked on the telephone...rather than texted and emailed. You cannot tell what people really think of you in text messages and it is open to much misinterpretation. Some people are addicted to text...and text when they are very bored. Some people only ever reply to texts when they receive one because they haven't figured out how to use their phone properly (I am guilty of that!). Why don't you just ring him and have a real conversation - in the time it takes to actually construct a message on a phone, you could have started a conversation with the guy and worked out if the relationship is going anywhere.
