Talk to Me

What is it with my generation and their inability to have an actual conversation over the phone? I hate to break it to you guys but if you can have a conversation face to face, you can have one over the phone. Mechanics are really effing similar.

I dated a guy who said he preferred to talk over G-chat rather than over the phone. Why? He had more control over what he said. He was worried that eventually his inability to handle conversations wouldn’t be enough. Much to no one’s surprise he didn’t last long.

I’ve been messaging this guy on OKC and I gave him my number. His response? He’s “pretty averse to actual talking phone calls” so he’s unlikely to ever make one but he will answer them so he gave me his number. He’s also good with texting and face to face. Now I understand why you needed the internet because it sounds like you’re ‘pretty averse’ to ever having a girlfriend. 

I’m going to translate what you said out of Monument to Social Ineptitude and into basic Girl: “I’m pretty averse to making any effort and I can’t be bothered to ever call you but I’ll answer if you call me.” Dude, you are not that fucking special.

One of the main rules of women regardless of sexuality, age, or stance on feminism is you need to pick up a goddamn phone! You want to know how I gauge a man’s interest? By seeing if he’ll call me without me initiating it. 

I dated a shy hockey player I knew was interested. How did I know? He called me during play-off games. Yes, that’s plural. He was a reserved guy but he still called me and talked to me a couple of times a week. If he’s not calling, he’s not that interested. Period.

I have no intention of actually calling this guy. I'm not even sure if I should bother responding if he texts me. I like to talk. If you're averse to talking and making effort, I'm probably not the girl for you.
