    I'll get all warm and fuzzy initially about frequent texting, but there's a wall that will pop up a little over a week in when it goes from endearing to exhausting unless discussion topics are deep and meaningful.

    The guy I'm dating figured out quickly that I need space after we spend a significant amount of time together. A minimum of approx 2 days with zero contact.

    What a perfect description. A wall pops up, exactly. It’s just too much. I feel rude but sometimes i just can’t be chatty at all

    ladies/men-

    you're in the car driving with your bae on a nice saturday evening. maybe down to the local sonic to get an ice cream cone or something. its been a good day. you've got your bluetooth connected to the stereo and your music on shuffle. one of your favorite tracks comes on and you turn it up a notch.

    bae leans over and turns the volume back down and says "ugh i hate that stupid song"

    wyd?

    I would kick her out of the car.





    .... I might even slow down to five mph over the speed limit.


    wait.

    what kind of ice cream ?

    I defer to my wife on all that insignificant stuff, so...

    Good morning and good night texts are too much 😣

    I text and would like texts all day long...including good morning and good night 😬

    I'm the same way. And when I meet someone new, I wanna get all up in them DM's and actually see what kind of person they are. Learn about them, the names of their pets, their mother's maiden name, their favorite subject in high school.

    Ya know basic stuff.

    I turn it back up and tell her "That's a reason." If you don't get the reference, you should watch more Bill Burr.

    Have a passive aggressive show down where we keep changing the volume.
    The gf "accidentally" changes the songs in the car all the time now and I am suspicious. 🤔 I look at her like she murdered my first-born.

    Girls/Guys -

    How would you feel if you're dating/invested/married to someone that doesn't slash and burn all prior contacts and will cordially respond to ANY text/call that might be received? Is there a different standard for dating/committed/married?

    Bold and caps is mine. Mostly concerned about time management here. I'm friendly with exes but you're an ex for a reason and cannot, by extension, be afforded the same attention as I'd give my current partner.

    If this isn't a shared value then I'd ask why the "drop everything for everyone at every time" approach was important to them and take it from there.

    I'm singing it acapella at the top of my lungs. If I'm driving, twerking will also be involved for the extra thrill of it all 🤷🏿‍♀️

    (...) You said it yourself: Too damn needy. (...)

    Guess I gave away my own answer with that...

    Driver's rules; person who drives gets final say on music since they're doing all the "work" essentially.

    Driver picks the tunes, shotgun shuts his cake hole.

    Exactly. Only exception is if driver dictates passengers may choose tunes.

    Talk radio. Then I can enjoy the drive and everyone else in the car can be equally miserable.
