Is he a bad texter or am I being clingy? Hi everyone! I've been seeing this guy for a while now and he decided to ask me to be his girlfriend a few weeks ago. Since then, I've noticed that he texts back VERY slowly. I'm the type of woman who loves to text my significant other throughout the day, but it takes him literally hours to reply to one message. I always attribute this to him being busy with work, but I can't help but wonder maybe he's ignoring me on purpose? Idk. I asked him last night if he prefers texting or talking on the phone and he prefers talking on the phone. We have hour long phone conversations almost every night. Am I overreacting about the whole texting thing? Should I be happy that he prefers to give me his attention over a phone call rather than a text message?
