Does anyone else have a problem with this?

Ok, anonymous because my boyfriend reads this site.

Does anyone find that if they text their boyfriend he doesn't reply? Because mine doesn't. And i'm not saying he doesn't text me at all, but sometimes if i ask him a question he won't text back with an answer. It's not that i want to text him continuously all day every day etc, but sometimes it would be nice if he replied. I have tried asking him before but it just ends up the same.

Does anyone else find their bf is really crap at texting? :confused:

Sometimes when I get texts and I'm busy, I just click away from them, thinking I'll respond later.
When later comes, the text has already slipped my mind.

I actually do the same thing with e-mails, which is worse...

I wouldn't make a big deal about it if it's not a huge issue. If it's important, text again, or call him.

my boyfriend is really bad with texting too! i don't ever get spontaneous texts from him, and half the time he doesn't bother replying. the thing is, he has explained to me that he hates texting (he is dyslexic and lazy) and has told me not to take offence! i also know for a fact that he doesn't text ANYBODY really, it's not just me... he would much rather call or just see me in person. sometimes i get worried if i have texted him about meeting up and he hasn't replied for 6 hours. but he always does in the end.

you have to put things in perspective. how is it when you're together? it is PERFECT, amazing etc with me and my boyfriend and i always forget how rubbish he is with his phone as soon as i am actually with him. i'm sure it is probably the same for you and your boyfriend. don't let it play on your mind.

Texts are really a crap method of communication if you're slightly paranoid. It depends on the other person having their phone on them, having it on, noticing that they've got the text and then deciding whether it's worth replying. My boyfriend always has his phone on silent, so if it's not in his pocket when it goes off, he won't notice until aaaaages after. If it's an important question then yes, it's annoying, but if it's really important I'd just call or e-mail (being a computer geek, he's a lot more likely to get the latter!)

Men are quite often naturally less communicative than women, and if it's only this that's worrying you and you're fine when you're together, I'd say it's just one of those minor flaws you get used to.

I'm terrible at replying. I read them and forget about replying completely...

Yea i find that too. What is really annoying is when u ask a question such as
'What time r u comin over, are u stayng for tea and do u want to go out for a drink?'

And he answers
'yeah xx'

Omg that really gets me, so what is that answer is is yes to all or just yes to satying over, what time???'

My boyfriend doesn't like texting so i let him off, but he's a gem when he rings me.

yeh if its something like a question that i need an answer to i'll just phone usually, because he'll either not have his phone on him or he can't be arsed to charge it or no credit :rolleyes:

hhhhhhhhhhppppp

my boyfriend has recently stopped texting me as much as he used to, but then I just found out today he has been cheating on me with one of my friends! Men eh? Not that I think your boyfriend is doing that...

My bf is good for texting. If anything I'm probably worse. Then again he doesn't have to pay for any of his contract bills. I, however, have to live off about 10 - 20 pounds credit a month, which is vitually impossible and people communicate to me alot through text!
