I agree. Before the Internet, these morons wanted to talk on the phone and never hang out. The Internet makes it easier.
An older acquaintance of mine was dating a guy who was a texter. She really liked him (she shouldn't have--different topic) and he wouldn't answer her calls. But, he damn sure would text her right after she called or he would do nothing but text her for weeks at a time. Lame and she was an idiot for putting up with it.
33girl: I think telling the guys that you don't text is a good idea. Make them call you like I have to call my parents who don't know how to text and don't give a darn about ever learning how to.
On a nondating note, I actually didn't really start texting until about a year ago. It used to be that I would ignore texts completely until I called the person or the person called me. I stopped being that way because not wanting to text apparently made me a disagreeable bitch.
