I think she likes me but she never initiates text.

I use them to send bitches smiley faces. Bitches love smiley faces.

And if he does the same thing then you won't speak leading to the breakdown of any potential relationship

It's so ridiculous these days how text messages/facebook are somehow part of relationship problems now.

"He/she doesnt text me enough"

"He/she 'liked' my profile picture but wont ask me out"

Waah waaaah waaaaaaah

Do guys ever not want to text first because they might seem too keen?

Some girls think that guys should initiate things like that... looks like you found yourself one of them!

Girls have developed this ridiculous belief that it is the responsibility of the guy to text first, and if he doesn't then nothing will happen.

However, if the guy texts her first all the time, he gets called an obssesive weirdo that "won't leave me alone!"

(form my experience anyway :L)

She probably doesn't want to come on too strong. I wouldn't read too much into it - I think I've texted the guy I like first once, every other time it's him. It's probably a stupid thing to do, wait for him to get in touch first, but I know for me it's because I'm still not 100% sure how he feels and I don't want to bother him by texting him if he doesn't want to talk. She might well feel the same way. Does she text back quickly when you text her?

yeaaa i don't want to look clingy. Sometimes I really want to talk but I don't how what she might think

This.
From my experience, I almost always have to text first. Then if the girl doesnt reply I spend like a day panicking that I have come across as obsessive, not sure if I should text again. Then they finally get back to you saying they ran out of credit

Girls are ridiculous.

It depends, when she text back (which could take either 15minutes or 3hours) the convo gets flinged back and fourth in the range of 10minutes.

As a girl, I can say in all honesty that this is one of the truest statements I have ever read on TSR.

It really is. This girl I was seeing kissed me, said she really liked me. Ignored me for a week then said we should just be friends.

I mean wtf!

If this was "initiate sex" you'd be lad.

Right now you're just derp.

I've been texting a guy and recently he's only been texting me if I text first.... it's making me really self conscious....

If he always replies pretty quickly and is asking questions/seems interested in what I'm saying is that more important than whether or not he starts the conversations?

You are not the girl I talk to are you? Cos I am recently not starting texts/messages too LOL

I don't particularly start anymore because I want to give her a bit of space. I don't want attention but I want her to miss me and care for me (something I used to do for her for ages and ages). When she texts me I reply instantly with a big grin on my face . And I usually ask questions to get replies until I think that's probably enough.
I don't know which one is more important but when I start conversations I'd like her to reply to me with the same caring tone of language. If she doesn't reply or is a bit cold, I get slightly upset
