I always call people if the text me. Fuck I have a shit ton of minutes and I don't want to spend my life punching tiny keys on my phone.

What is absolutely ridiculous is sometimes when I call back and ask them what they want they don't have shit to say. If you don't have shit to say, don't fucking call me or send me a message, just keep your mouth shut.

I hear you.
Those are some valid points, and certainly drawbacks of texting as a legit form of communication. However, they mostly come into play when you're talking about something reasonably important, emotional, or subjective in some other way - they're just words on a screen, so there's no real way of knowing what someone truly meant, or "how" they're saying it, and so on ... if you want an answer or response that qualifies in this regard, you're right - call them.
otherwise, take it for what it's worth.

you can't really make a phone call during school..

In all seriousness though, i like texting, but the difficulty in transmitting emotion is too crazy for serious/emotional conversations. I like it just because its quick and easy, and relatively private. Thats my opinion...

I don't know, I think they're legit, it's the best way to ask a quick question or commnunicating while you're in class or at work.

Heres a great idea, now that we all get emails on our phones.If you have some long important proposal or the like to send me. Write me an email, do not use the word lol or liek omg, and I will read it on my phone almost instantly.

If you want to see whats up with me, call me and if i can I'll pick up, if not I'll call you back when I'm free.

i fucking hate it when someone calls you, but you miss the call so you call them right back, like, within a minute of missing their call, and they dont pick up.


WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO IN THAT 60 SECONDS?

I mean text messages can be somewhat useful in certain situations but it has gotten to the point where for some people text messaging is the only use for their phone. Also when talking to girls it's stupid to get to know them over text messages because in opinion people have different personalities when txting because they have time to think therefore creating a perfect message each time when really calling them is straight up and more responsive.

i dont like texting cause the girls show there freinds what i say and thats a no no, espescially because i dont mean half the things i say and im just trying to get in there pants. But with a call i may deny everything the girl says i said.

When girls just wanna text and flirt this attitude will get you no where.

I phone when it's quick or urgent, but I would rather keep up a text conversation over a few hours just back and forth every once in a while then be on the phone for like 2 hours..

Especially in my day-to-day -- between school, meals, homework, and hanging with friends I don't wanna spend my whole fucking life talking on the phone. A text sent and received here and there is alright

In terms of talking to girls I'd rather just see them in person then spend my whole life on the phone with them, but there's obviously a ton of time not able to be spent with them

I use "mack" but it's flirting or hitting on someone.
Ie: getting my mack on is hitting on some girl I wanna get with
