Do you think I text him too much?

This last week I've noticed.
I text him a lot.
It's me starting the conversation a lot of the time.
He reply's and continues the conversation but I feel like I'm annoying him.
Sometimes he ignores me for hours (this is why I think I'm annoying him )
Il text him on a morning then carry on the conversation all day (or try )
Today I'm trying to wait for him to text first(maybe show him I'm not glued to my phone)
Do you think I'm texting far too much ?

Yes.

Purplewithred · 15/06/2020 09:55

Sounds like it.

AugieMarch · 15/06/2020 09:55

That does sound a lot to me.

littlebirdieblue · 15/06/2020 09:56

What's the context here, are you in a relationship, is he someone you just met?

Lynda07 · 15/06/2020 09:56

Just stop doing it! It would drive me potty to be texted every day never mind several times a day.

Bathbedandbeyond · 15/06/2020 09:57

Hours between messages is normal, I’d imagine work or friends or childcare responsibilities get in the way of texting constantly?

LouLouLoo · 15/06/2020 09:57

Yes that’s too much.

Lamentations · 15/06/2020 09:58

Yes. There's nothing less attractive than desperation.

Penguins1 · 15/06/2020 09:59

Hi. Maybe he's busy when you texted him. Is he working?

simdd · 15/06/2020 09:59

There's times when he texts a lot too.
I feel like if he does it it's fine but if I do it he gets bored.
I feel like she's loosing interest in me.
I feel like I'm not a challenge anymore

No he's on furlough

If I were you, I'd wait for him to initiate the conversation. Whether you're texting 'too much' depends on whether he likes to hear from you that much. I've had relationships where we chatted on and off throughout the day and others where it was basically only to arrange meeting up.

Leave it to him today.

Badtasteflump · 15/06/2020 10:00

Depends on how serious the relationship is. If you're newly dating then yes you definitely need to cool it. Context is everything.

Bathbedandbeyond · 15/06/2020 10:01

How long have you been seeing each other? How serious is the relationship?

vikingwife · 15/06/2020 10:02

Yes. Get busy on a project !

simdd · 15/06/2020 10:02

We have been on and off for around 15 months.
Basically because he blows hot and cold all the time.
Sometimes he wants to chat with me and I feel like I'm important to him then I feel like a nuisance who he ignores.
I never know what day I'm going to get with him.

I'm back at work next week so at least il be distracted.

Too much! A good morning message is fine but you surely don't need to be texting the entire day. What do you speak about when you meet or chat on the phone?? In my opinion this is a sure way to scare someone off

namesnames · 15/06/2020 10:03

Yes, stop txting, see what happens.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/06/2020 10:04

Oh Dear God that would drive me mad.
Sometimes you don't hear from him for hours..perfectly normal.
You try and keep a conversation going all day..not normal.
I'd be ending it if someone was that needy.

simdd · 15/06/2020 10:05

I'm going to back off and stop texting.
Sometimes he is the one keeping the conversation going all day.

Texting all day is exhausting. I’m on furlough too and since every day is pretty much the same, I don’t generally have a lot to say most of the time!
However, usually when you get that gut feeling that someone is losing interest, you should listen to it.
There was a very similar thread on here the other day and the consensus there was the same as here. It sounds like you do text too much. Maybe cut it right back and let him take the lead, that will give you a better idea of where you stand.

HollowTalk · 15/06/2020 10:06

OP, please think about this. It's not a healthy relationship.

simdd · 15/06/2020 10:07

He is a group chat with his friends too and that's pinging all day long.
I'm assuming you get sick if your phones going off that much.
