On the subject of texting, or lack of:
I think sometimes women can read too much into a lack of texts from a bloke they're interested in. I can be interested in someone, and when I'm thinking about them I want to text them. But when I'm thinking about something else: my kids, my job, catching up with mates etc, then I don't worry too much about texting or keeping in touch. I can only really think about one thing at a time so if I get a text from a woman I'm dating, then if I'm concentrating on something else I won't necessarily be quick to respond. It doesn't mean they're on the back burner compared to another woman, or that I'm not interested, it's just that I can't think about multiple things at once.
This may be seen as uncaring, or forgetful, or insensitive, but it's the way my brain is made. I'm fairly typical of men like that, we can concentrate very hard on one or two things at a time, but find it difficult to multitask. Women's brains are structured differently so you can be thinking about one thing, something else comes up, and you can deal with more than one thing more successfully than men can. You have a more complex neural network than us.
So, just because a bloke is slow to text back, it doesn't mean he's lost interest, it might just mean he's not focusing on you right this second. And that's life, unfortunately.
Mermaid complains that I don't skype her enough. I enjoy it when I do, and sometimes I really look forward to it. But if I'm thinking about something else then it doesn't even occur to me. Or it does but I file it away mentally under 'something to do later, I'm busy trying to fix my dishwasher' or something. When I'm focusing on her, or not thinking about anything else, I'll be texting away merrily - but when I'm not, I won't.
