I'm dating this guy and I think he's just ended the conversation.
We've been texting since about 12,so 3 1/2 hours and he's been making convo but his last message was just laughing emojis.
No I'm paranoid I've been doing his head in and he is trying to end the conversation.
Last night he was texting all of the night and he was initiating conversation.
Do you think he was bored of the conversation today?

He's probably got stuff to do. Don't over think things. Have you met up yet?

PositiveVibez · 15/09/2019 16:07

Maybe he needed to do something.

Very intense.

sunclouds · 15/09/2019 16:08

Yeah we've met up a few times now

You've been chatting for 3.5 hours!!!? He's probably busy now! That's pretty full on and intense

Sparkletastic · 15/09/2019 16:09

Christ I'd hate a messaging marathon.

sunclouds · 15/09/2019 16:11

It hasn't been me just texting ..it's been back and forth and him asking me questions.
Do you think I shouldn't text him any more today now ?
Maybe just distract myself from checking my phone and texting..I don't want to look like I have nothing better to do.

I don't have time for texting 20 mins never mind hours and hours WTF Hmm

sunclouds · 15/09/2019 16:15

I don't normally.
It's only because I'm off work and having a lazy Sunday.
Otherwise I don't get to check my phone for hours.

Jesus you are over thinking stuff!

He probably just ran out of stuff to say...I always leave things with emojis if I have run out of stuff to say....

Maybe wait till the evening and then ask how his day was....then your have more stuff to talk about again

Teedeepie · 15/09/2019 16:32

I often am never sure how to end a conversation even with friends.... Maybe just send one last text saying you have a few things to do for the rest of the day and assume he does also but give you a shout tomorrow or something similar. Casual and breezy with a smiley emoji... then you can relax and not overthink it for the rest of your Sunday Smile

sunclouds · 15/09/2019 16:38

Yeah I'm going to do that
Do you think I should apologise incase I text him too much ?
Or say god sorry if the conversation got boring
Il try and be more fun to chat too tomorrow ha ha

Chill riiiiight out! Don't text him anything else.

OursonGuimauve · 15/09/2019 16:46

Jesus, no, @sunclouds do not text an apology!

leolion81 · 15/09/2019 16:47

You're being incredibly needy. He probably couldn't think of anything else to say or wanted to end the conversation so he could do other things.

MashedSpud · 15/09/2019 16:48

Yeah send him lots of texts apologising for texting too much. Then send lots more apologising for those ones too.

Bouffalant · 15/09/2019 16:50

Depends whether you want to scare him off. If you do then go for it.

Chill out!

sunclouds · 15/09/2019 16:57

How am I being needy?
He was texting just as much
I always worry if I don't text enough he might think I'm not interested.
Or if I don't initiate a conversation he might not and then we don't talk
I'm such a massive over thinker

You’ve been messaging for hours and met up with him several times: he knows you’re interested! Give him a bit of space to miss you. Go enjoy the rest of your evening doing something else and he’ll be in touch tonight or tomorrow I’m sure.

leomama81 · 15/09/2019 17:20

You're being needy because you're freaking out because he only texted for 3.5 hours today. Not everyone has time (or the inclination) to message all day every day. Maybe he's watching a film, or a friend has called or come over. It could be anything, and it's spinning you out. And now you are thinking about apologizing to him for not being fun enough, which would be extremely offputting. He knows you like him, don't text again, if he likes you the conversation will pick up again later or another day.

I'm not saying this to be harsh, I know how difficult the early texting stage can be, I'm saying this to try and put it in perspective.

Ginger1982 · 15/09/2019 17:29

It would be needy to text an apology. Just leave it. Let him do some running and contact you to initiate chat. Try and occupy yourself with some telly or a book or something.

tierraJ · 15/09/2019 18:13

When it comes to men always leave them wanting more.... so don't text him back!

Wait for him to text you.
