Why does he text me first but he keeps the conversation short?

Question - (28 July 2012) 6 Answers - (Newest, 9 September 2012)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone.

Me and my guy friend have really good chemistry. We get along well. We flirt a lot. We have a lot in common.

But when he texts me, he is very short with his texts and is always the first to end the conversations.

He does text me first. But he keeps the conversations short and is the one to end them first.

He is at work when he texts.

Should I take it that he is not interested enough in talking to me longer by text or am I reading too much into this?

Thank you!

highheeledfeminist agony auntGuys on the whole are sometimes less into texting than girls. You could be overthinking this. The fact that he texts you first is a big deal; because of that I think you can rule out the possibility of him not being interested in talking to you. What I think is more likely is he may not even realize that you expect a longer conversation. Those texts could be a way of saying "Hey, I'm thinking of you" and just kind of checking in but he saves the real conversations for in person/on the phone (if you ever talk in those ways).

Hi there. I have an interesting question first off.

You only talk about texting each other.

So is your only contact with each other by text messages, or do you actually see each other on a fairly regular basis?

I am trying to work out how you first met and whether it is a long distance relationship.

Do you call each other and talk in a telephone conversation sometimes?

It just seems that quite a lot these days, people communication via electronic means instead of picking up the telephone and talking person to person.

You said you have "really good chemistry" between you, so other than talking by text messages, how else do you communication with each other?

Is it via internet chat sites?

Or, does he call you and then take you out on a regular basis?

So what I'm really asking here, is are you dating him at the moment?

What is the status of your relationship right now?

If he only texts you at work, there is a possibility that he has a girlfriend or significant other at home.

There is always that huge possibility that that guy is seriously into you, do he texts you first out of genuine interest, then he keeps it short in fear of boring you out or come across as pushy. He us happy with how close he got to you so far, and just afraid of losing it or pushing you away, so he tries to play 'cool'.

Consider this possibility.

Aunty BimBim agony auntYes, you are reading too much into thism he is at work when he texts. His employer pays him a wage and in return expects him to work during work hours, not text.
