confidence. there is a fine line between letting him do the chasing... and seeming uninterested.
there's nothing wrong with sending a text asking "how was ur day" at end off the day.
if you haven't heard from him all day.
but, i have to admit. i do like contact everyday of some sort in my relationships.
that can be anything from 1 simple text each, to anything more.
i like someone who's interested and a brief summary of my/their day, as lets face it... if you cant share your day early on.... not really boding too well for in future.
say the relationship did eventually get somewhere serious...... thats what you do isn't it, you already know all your daft stories and learned each others likes/dislikes. you chat about your day.perhaps the news,a programme you have an opinion on. generally day to day stuff. if you cant do the basic of conversational skills naturally then communication will be crap.
i also personally feel it says alot about a fella if it comes to their mind naturally to wonder how you are that day... and then follow up with a call or text asking.
but thats just me. because i cant be arsed with wonder if he is/isn't interested.
if i hear any sort of contact then i know for sure he is.
some people like less communication early on.
but really. how hard is it to send a text to say "hi, hows your day. mines been hectic busy. just going to bed"
but similarly.... you could just as easy send that text yourself. if he's busy he might not be able to call you that evening.
but he still relpy, as you have given him a nudge to remind him he has forgot to contact, and you have said your going to bed and not going to distract him from work with a long winded call or text marathon.
you would probably get a small reply back (and set your mind at ease).. or possible a quick goodnight call.
and he wouldn't feel like he's doing all chasing and your not interested.
sometimes a routine like this is required to keep a relationship bubbling along if you are too busy to meet often
