Hey Can I TEXT You....(Texting vs. Calling)

I have noticed that when meeting guys nowadays when they ask for your phone number it is not to have an actual phone conversation but to TEXT you. One of the perks of texting a person you have just met are.....hmmm I will wait....that everything will be misinterpreted or you can put in a minimal amount of effort. I met this bouncer at a club over the weekend mind you I don't remember when the numbers where exchanged * see birthday boo post* and he text me the other day his life story.

Bouncer: Hey how are you?

Me: Fine and U?

Bouncer: Well whats your stats?

Me: Huh?

Bouncer: I'm 26, Divorced, One Son, play basketball, work all day and work the part time at the club, I like to work out

Me: Thanks for your life story but what happened to saying your doing fine

Bouncer: I hope you are not worried about my ex and the fact that I am divorced because we get a long well and have no problems so there is nothing to be worried about

I proceeded to no response mode. Now let's analyze this. He could have just been trying to be straight up with me from the beginning or was nervous about having that convo. Texting can make people BOLD because they can avoid having to think on their feet or that immediate reaction. Which is not the type of person for me. I don't know maybe I am a little old school but this is not a text conversation and a bit much. On top of that he clearly was not following the conversation.

This is a bit of an extreme case but in my conversations with people the word is out that many guys are opting to text rather than call especially with such things as

-I'm going to be late or I'm not coming home tonight

-Hey, how are you - that way they don't have to hear us ramble because we are not going to text everything that happened that day

and so on and so on.......How do you feel about texting vs. calling?
