Fred McGriff Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 it takes me at least 30 minutes to hunt-and-peck up a goddammed text. usually when i get a text i go to my laptop and email the person my answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Manager Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I used to only ever respond with A, affirmative, or B, negative. That was before i realized they don't charge you for the number of characters in the message. lol Also, out of curiosity, why do the people in this thread who don't have phones not have phones? A basic mobile costs nothing. Then just stick a free pay-as-you-go SIM in there that you never top-up so at least people can contact you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest weed Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 What is the socially acceptable time to wait before replying? I feel that if I reply right away I come off as too eager to talk, and I creep the other person out. I feel as if I wait an hour or more, I come off as pretentious and holier than thou or the person thinks I'm away from the phone. i dont even own a phone, its fucking fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 277: 930-933 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 i wish i had people who liked me enough to cause me this problem. the last text i got was yesterday and it was off my mum. i didnt reply. You really should reply to your mum's texts, if you don't she might think you're in trouble or dead and she might feel bad. I try to avoid texting with people I have a romantic interest in, unless there's an actual point to it. Friendly texts may take up to 2 days for me to respond to, I'll read it when there's no time to reply and then forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rabid Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Cell phones are about as "socially interactive" as the SETI signals into space. I'd rather talk face-to-face than to a machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 i'd rather text someone that i'd like to meet up with them rather than... sitting at home because i don't have a phone and can't contact them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Manager Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm with Hoodie on this one. Might as well give up the internet while you're at it if non-face-to-face social interaction is so terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 My girlfriend never responds to mine. Speaking of, I've been seeing this girl for a few months, and she just started ignoring me Its casual bro, lucky stuff. Happened to me a while back, but then I just kinda insulted her when I was pissed. It was lulz. Yeah, but I didn't even fuck up or anything. LE SIGH. She was hot as fuck. Hah. I spoke too soon. She actually started getting back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Girls are total text message sluts, but I wait at least 4 hours before answering, unless it's my girlfriend and she's horny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work from home on computers and hardly ever leave the house - so no cell phone, no texting... completely unnecessary for me. I hate the "land line" as well, when people call I feel that it wastes too much time, for me email is the only way to go. I set it to check every five minutes and the communication is plenty fast.
