You would hate dating me, I don't do text messaging - Ever. I have unanswered texts which my Partner has had to respond to.
"Oh the Niece needed a ride Thursday? Gee she could have called, I would have answered the phone... oh well...." Its not like these people don't know I don't do 'texting'.
I never rely on text messages when I want to know how a person is doing. I go to their home, knock on the door and talk face to face with them.
I grew up and dated in the era before texting, Facebook, internet. We had phones, but those were attached to the house wall. So we went to other people's places and talked to them. Face to face.
It was the dark ages, I mean you were out of contact with people for hours at a time - had to wait to go home after work to check your answering machine. Yes millions died in those days from isolation - it was horrible...... :tongue:
There is loads that a single look can convey that a million text messages can't.
He most likely is in a lot of pain - dealing with work, mom, dad and most likely doesn't know how to put it in a text message. Human face to face contact means we get to read body language, expressions, the eyes - we humans learned over millions of years to communicate volumes in these ways.
So instead of sending an impersonal 'how you doing' via text, why not swing by his place, his job and show him through actions that you care? Ask if you can help while you are standing there too, unless you can't or do not want to help.
