Men are terrible with texting just not their thing.

You're not sensitive. You are emotionally immature and prone to outbursts

As a pp noted this isn't likely to work out.

OP here: how do people who date people with this type of texting style deal with it when they have a very different style? In person communications are not an issue but there are a few times we have had crossed wires over texts. I hate to beat a dead horse on this with him so need to figure out how to deal with it assuming I want to continue to date him (which I do).

Honest question- is a text saying this really hurt my feelings an outburst? Or just being direct?

It's pretty needy and I don't he is going to meet your needs here.

you could respond affirmatively by projecting your desired outcome on the situation, but you need to be emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of direct correction/rejection.

example:

wonderful. I'll see you tomorrow, with flowers. 😉

I'm in my 50s and hate talking on the phone. My DH WFH and I text him to ask a question. I love texting.

But, sending a flower instead of answering is definitely this guy's way of not committing to an answer about tomorrow. To his credit, he didn't not text at all. Plenty of people do that.

OP, you might not be a good fit for this.

Even now you're trying to excuse your behavior.

Always right.. never wrong, must have my way all the time.

Do you pout as well?

OP here: the irony is that I text with my friends and family constantly! I think I’m just used to a different texting style.

And I agree that it’s a type of deflection! Conscious or not.

Sigh. I do realize I need to not overthink though.

OP here: I don’t pout no. In the past I might just hold it in and pretend everything is fine but now I am trying to be up front about my feelings. I guess I need to get a thicker skin!!

Responding to what, though? At some point the convo had to end, even in real life….

He saw a flower and wanted to share it with you… what’s the problem.

Do you like this guy? Why are you looking for problems?

You need a lot of validation?
