[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Comes on too strong. One guy was talking marriage by the third date! Another told me he dumped his girlfriend for me.[/quote]

+1. Clingy, needy, and controlling were immediate deal breakers for me back in my dating days.
Other db's included:

[b]Always texted instead of calling.[/b]
Rude to waiters.
Conservative. Didn't have to be super liberal - I married a moderate R who went from voting for Bush twice to voting for Obama twice (penance? trying to undo the damage?) - but nothing more right than that.
Bad kisser.
Overly intense.
Sneaky/dishonest/prone to exaggeration or dissembling.[/quote]

PP 29 guy here - I'd rather call but my generation of women NEVER pick up the phone. Everything is text. [/quote]

PP here, and you're right - women can be just as bad as guys. Personally, I found it rude and annoying. This was back when texts were fairly new, and I never really have understood the obsession. I'm 39, so maybe I'm an old crank.  :)[/quote]

Some people get nervous on the phone, especially when they are first getting to know someone.  If you have that kind of anxiety, texting is just easier (at least until you reach a comfort level with the other person).  I think that's a big part of why people text.

Also, it's easier to avoid lulls in the conversation on the phone or awkwardness.  When I was dating, I'd like to make plans via email.  I just felt like it was easier.  I'm indecisive by nature, so on the phone, I'd get all flustered and say "I don't know" a lot.  For some reason, it was easier for me to nail down a time and a place in written form than in verbal form.

Fast forward, I'm married now, and my husband knows well that if he wants a hard answer (a specific date, a time, a place), he's better off emailing or texting me :)  [/quote]
