Am I Discouraging Good Behaviour
Every now and again I get a girl showing interest in me but I have that interest go away quickly when I give her my number and we start texting. The girls that I have numbers for are all teens. As a refresher I'm in senior high school so I have girls from ages 13 to 18 in my phone. Most of them don't have privileges from parents to do as they like. Which means that the typical question "ask a girl out on a date " is usually met with resistance. Most teens spend a lot of time texting and so do I. I mainly text in the evening going into late night and I make phone calls whenever possible too.
I prefer phone calls but some girls are not comfortable with calls for reasons such as: parents questioning them why they are on the phone and taking away their phones from time to time, girls having eavesdropping family members, or they genuinely feel uncomfortable talking on the phone. I can deal with girls feeling uncomfortable on calls. I just have to focus on making the conversation fun and interesting.
I don't have the whole day to idle with aimless texting and receiving a text at mid - day is a text that gets a reply in the evening. I've got stuff to do: chores, improving my fundamentals, school work, going out and other activities. A girl ( who is 14 ) texted me at 3:09pm today saying " Hey " and I haven't replied yet. This is something that I do all the time to people that text me during the day when I'm genuinely busy. I do believe in getting back to people and giving them good feelings. I don't want girls to think I'm not interested in them because I'm replying to their texts 6 hours later. I reply when I have time to have a text conversation.
Losing Girl's Following This Approach
I don't like having such a busy daily schedule; I almost don't have time for myself and I'm not very good at multitasking. I feel bad ignoring a girl's text, posibly a girl that sees me as special that she wants to spend time with. I know it's not wise to ignore people if I want to get somewhere with them. Note what occurs when I keep not having the time of day to talk to a girl over text:
"She starts to ignore me in person, stops texting me, answering my phone calls, EVERYTHING! All because I don't have time to text her back. Her attraction for me expires. I think the problem is that I'm not offering enough value to get her to keep chasing even though I'm taking a long time to reply. This is a different game from what adults wolud play. Girl's over 20 have the privilege to go meet a guy whenever he asks for a date and talk to who ever they want anytime. Girl's under 18 have to ask mom and dad if they can go out and if they can get money to talk on the phone. Hence, while I'm not moving fast enough because of situations outside my control, I'm still losing. I love these chicks texting me, I appreciate hearing from them no matter what.
How Do I Fix This?
Because this happens to me all the time I fear having girls contact me ( yeah I know it sounds ridiculous. I want them to chase me but when they chase over text I can't maintain the chasing when I meet them in person.) Should I tell girls when to text me? Should I apologize for taking long to reply? How do I handle girls that want to text 6 hours everyday ( which is ridiculous to do )? And how do I give a girl just enough so she keeps contacting me? Thanks guys!
