 I agree with all these answers, i will ad my input i hate txting my hands like most guys are to damn big for one i play video games since i was born so i have arthritis txtng suxs its only meant for emergency situations when you cant have an actual phone conversation, also i will txt a girl alot when we first meet just to talk and get to kno her but after about two weeks im done, i rather hang out and be with her in person. what i usually say when im at my txting limit is " what are you doing tomorrow" " lets go to lunch" if she says ok then great if she has an excuse not to i presume she doesnt like me and i stop txting her. Sometimes girls will continue to txt after i hvnt txt for a couple weeks but eventually they get the hint

 I guess it's too time consuming and quite boring. Also, SMSs can be misread sometimes and then it can lead to arguments. Sometimes, you can send someone a nice SMS and then they think you're having a go at them. But that's just my opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right.

 I hate texting, so from my perspective, yes, it is very annoying when people wont blooming stop it. I hate too that I have to feel rude by making comments to draw the convo to a close without just saying rack off, coz i cant be bothered taking a minute to write what I could say in 1o seconds. You can do the whole convo in 5 minutes that might equate to an hour of back and forth texts, and when that is happening, then yes, it is taking up time, and distracting you from whatever else you are up to.
I don't think it is a male/female thing per se, ... I just think some people dont have time or inclination for that form of communication.
A lot gets lost in written things too, ... misread emotion, wrong tone, mistaken intent, etc, etc, ... so if you find someone who appears not to like it, then just pick up the phone and talk to them instead.

 Most guys just hate messing with it. It's not their thing. If you don't get a response from a guy, then pick up the phone and try having a real live conversation.

 Hey,
I've tried the chatting thing with sooo many guys and i always felt like they thought i was being a flirt and annoying them. Alot of times it can be that the guy has a girlfriend, and he thought that she might feel uncomfortable if he was talking to you alot. Also, many guys don't talk much. Opposite sexes seem to be shy around each other, and maybe he was afraid of saying something that could sound sarcastic or could hurt your feelings. Never take that the wrong way...some guys just don't feel like talking, and some may be afraid of looking flirty and embarassing themselves. Keep in mind: Girls have a much easier time expressing their feelings. :)
