Impersonal Misters

I am currently carrying on text relationships with 5 guys. FIVE! I have gone out with a couple of them and some I haven't met as of yet. I don't consider any of these real relationships because none of them (well....not none but almost none) use the phone anymore. What happened to getting to know someone by a phone call and in person? Are dudes just lazy nowadays? Do they really have no desire to go out but rather *think* that they're actively pursuing someone by texting? I have no clue but I have to say it's really annoying. I am not a phone person. Not at all. But I'll tell you.....I appreciate it. I now really desire talking to someone as most of these guys don't want to use the phone. How do you get to know someone without talking to them and meeting them in person? I've been out with one of these dudes twice (no chemistry as I don't even KNOW him as all we do is text and meet for coffee (where he only drones on about himself and asks me no questions and/or follow-up questions about me) and text some more). He text messaged me today and in a roundabout way told me he wasn't doing anything tonight. When I told him I was "laying low" tonight he texts, "Oh...I should have texted you earlier to see what you were up to." TEXTED ME EARLIER?? WHY? TO NOT ASK ME OUT? TO NOT HAVE TO PICK UP THE PHONE AND GET TO KNOW ME? SO ANNOYING! Now, don't get me wrong...once I know someone and like them (or for family members and friends when you just want to ask a quick question or say "hello") texting is fine but when I've either never met you or gone out once?? PICK UP THE DARN PHONE AND GIVE ME A CALL! How is anyone building a relationship nowadays? I have no clue.

Another guy asked for my digits yesterday and then said, "Do you enjoy texting?" I didn't answer him (In my profile it plainly states I am not looking for an email and/or text buddy. If you're interested pick up the phone, let's have a quick chat and ASK A GIRL OUT). Today I received numerous texts from him with no mention of him giving me a call. Over it!

This dating world is in the crapper. In the crapper, I tell you. Hrumph!

DATE ME!
