Let's talk about my man problems for a quick moment, because we know like the sun and moon above that I have them. It seems like since grade school I have been unable to attract sane folks of the opposite sex.  Perhaps they do not exist, if they do I am unaware of their whereabouts. Furthermore, I am so tired of dealing with man communication problems.  Why is it so hard for them to communicate normally?!?!?!?!?!?

(I know those punctuation marks were in excess, but you can't get tone of voice over a blog so just deal with it).  I really hate the guy games so much.

A certain gentleman and I have been sort of talking.  When I mean "sort of" I mean texting.  He's busy with work, and so am I.  That is okay.  However, I am so sick of his off and on communication.  It's sort of a yes or no thing, if you want to hang out with me fine, but don't text me at 1am when I am sleeping!  Also, please get over yourself, and stop being so high maintenance.  This is the guy who does not answer his phone after about 9pm (lol), but texts until the morning!  I heard on some show that men like texting more because it is less nerve wrecking.  ? I am curious, what is so stressful about talking on the phone with someone instead of sending 1,000 texts? 

I broke down tonight after text number two.  I wrote back and it was good my friends, and I have yet to get a response.  I put it all out there, and was honest.  These communication issues are problematic!

Lord help me.

Ahhhh the eternal question! G does NOT do talking on the phone. To me yes briefly but only about what he needs to get from the supermarket. With his friends, he only ever texts. It's a boy thing and they never change!

I loved your title, lol!!! I'm sorry that this guys is giving you the run around...how irritating. See if he responds and if not, that should say a lot, IMHO. Otherwise this guy will continute to drive you crazy and that's no good. But maybe he will respond and figure out that he's not "impressing" you much at this point and change his ways to better suit a more "normal" dating experience! Hang in there :)

i had to laugh at the end of your post because it all started coming back to me how retarded some guys were.

i was the same way when i was dating...lay it all out there so you just know, whether it be a good or bad response.

just hang in there and don't settle for just anyone, eventually a great one will come your way, good luck!

Oh yeah, I don't miss that drama! I once had a guy not only ask me out on a date over texting but then cancel over texting! On no you didn't! Men!

That is insane! I am so glad that texting wasn't even an option when I was dating :). So sorry you have to deal with the craziness!!

I don't understand the whole texting thing...{never done it} But My boys seem to text their guy friends alot...but talk to their girlfriends more on the phone. And use the texting to send "sweet messages" during class. Hope you can find the right guy, he's out there. Probably having the same problem you are.
