I have started to ignore this guy because he only texts me and never calls- is it rude to just respond "the texting is getting old" or shouldn't he just already know that??
I seriously just stopped texting people- unless I really can't talk.
What say you?

Your next move depends on you. Do you like the guy? If so, just be honest with him and tell him you'd prefer a phone call to texting. If you don't like him, either ignore him until he stops texting you or tell him (in a text message, if you like) that you don't want him to contact you anymore. Take the high road and be an adult about it. If you do, he'll take you more seriously.

I disagree totally, just because talking is your preference and you have the time, that doesn't mean for a second he should get the cold shoulder from you. I haven't spoken to my best friend in over 2 months.... but we text every single day without fail, 20 times a day and when we both finish of a night and we sit down beside our husbands, we have a little text convo then say goodnight. The reason for that is we can both text, put our phone down, fold some washing ect ect... then reply to text. I don't think you should ignore him, i think the mere fact he is taking the time to text you at all, tells you that you are in his thoughts. I love texting, i love the fact that i can say hi to 10 different people during the day because there is no way i would get a chance to call those 10 and say hi. I bought my mum a phone so i can keep in contact with her all day everyday too.

Well, I am also the kind of guy that text... As I hate using phone!! I prefer to text a girl to meet her instead of only calling! But since most girls I meet are living abroad, then texting is more convenient, even if skype can do it all with video!! So I guess that if my phone could do Video over the air, I would use it, I like to see the face of the person I am talking with, as its much more than just talking, so texting is the same as talking without seeing the face...
Body language is much more important today, and I can`t stand speaking to a person without knowing how she react to the current discussion... Anyways its just me!
But in your place I would not think that such man is not interested to you because of this, sometimes its very intimidating for a guy to talk to a girl that he has real interest in (as he feel vulnerable much more, even if he has self confidence), and it ease things up for some to do so...
I know friends that can talk to girls they like only after drinking alchool... Or they will never be capable of it... As for me talking is too much ambiguous to have real meanings in a relation... It takes much more than that!!

Sometimes, people are normally quite on the phone and have nothing to say only because they don't want to sound "stupid," so they rather text than call. And no, it's not less attractive. Me and my boyfriend text all the time and sometimes, we would call each other, but that rarely happens. But if your girl is more of a phone person, def. call her and if she doesn't like texting!

Here in the real world, some of us have jobs, and we can't be on the phone. Texting is a low key way of talking when you can't really talk. I know people who were fired for making too many calls at work and/or for having their phone ringing too much at work. I myself, hate talking on the phone. So text me or come talk to me in person. Or, we just wont talk. By the way, I'm a 34 year old divorced women, bartender,single mom who gets no child support, and I work alot!! I don't have time to be on the phone. So cut the guy some slack and grow up. Maybe He's just too "busy" to be on the phone.

Im just the opposite from you, I would much rather text than have a conversation.
At least with texts you can ask exactly what you need to know and not get caught up in a conversation.
As far as this fella goes who knows,
Is he a quiet or shy person?
Ive been married for 3years and with him for 6years and i still cant work him out.

He is probably just shy. I don't know how long you have known each other. He should call you when he builds up enough courage. It should not last more than a week or two. Don't be too quick to kick 'em to the curb! He is probably a really nice guy and you do not want to ruin the chance of a good relationship!

*May he don't know how to hold a decide conversation
*Maybe he's a shy person
*Maybe he's a work when he text (I tend to text while a work)
*Maybe he's around he female companion at that point in time
If he tends to text on a regular basis then yes I would say he is rude and act like a 15 year old. But I would question him about it

Have you asked him if he could just call you? It would be less rude than saying "the texting is getting old". While you have him on the phone, mention how much you prefer just talking.

I think he's to old to be texting you but at the same time he could be a shy guy so he finds texting more comfortable to getting in touch with you then by phone. Let him know that you don't like what's going on let him understand that he's to old for that.
