I’m absolutely dog shit at texting. I just hate doing it and it feels “soulless”. I’d rather call, FaceTime, or preferably meet in person.

An example is I met a woman at work recently and knew off the bat she was attracted just off the body language and how immersed she was in our brief conversation. We clicked with some mutual interests so I gave her my number and walked off. She texts me and says it was great meeting me and all that but holy shit it’s like I’m suddenly socially inept and it’s my first time texting ANYONE. If this was in person or verbal, I’d have zero issues. Literally not the first time this happens and this is obviously with women I find attractive so it’s not like I’ve lost interest. To think at one point I used to feel comfortable texting and uncomfortable in person & otp…

At a glance, this may seem like a good trade off to have but I’ve had women go from very interested in person and willing to go out to straight up ignore me on iMessage and I feel like it’s 100% my fault due to my inadequate texting.

Should I play to my strengths or work on my texting?
