How do you stay confident in a situation where you’re seeing someone new who is a terrible texter, but shows a lot of interest/effort otherwise? Whenever we see each other in person it’s great, but his texting habits (i.e., taking hours and hours to reply) sometimes makes me wonder if he’s losing interest. I don’t know if A) I’ve been conditioned to think text frequency matters in dating when I shouldn’t care about it or B) I am a fool being strung along.

Hey Analyst. I feel the same way too! I’m a guy and a girl I like talking to in person doesn’t text the same way and sometimes we go days without texting. We are still in the initial talking phase, but still. I don’t feel like you are being strung along though. Just set up more time for coffees or dates!

Good points!!

You can always just ask him if it’s a normal habit and see if you can find a middle ground to help you feel more secure.

Well early on I almost cancelled plans with him because I assumed he wasn’t that into me and then he apologized and explained he’s just not a good texter which I’ve since been trying to accept. But sometimes I worry it’s deliberate or sort some of game. Maybe I am just over thinking it. I don’t want to ask him to text me more though because I don’t want to seem too needy or overbearing. The case may be that I need to work on being more secure I guess.

Honestly who cares about the mode of communication. If they don't text well, then just call.
