texting woes

Vodkha

I'm a woman. I overreact sometimes. I read into things. I over analyze. Especially when it comes to texting with a guy that I like. Why did he say that? What does that mean? Why would he say that? Why didn't he reply to that? Am I bothering him too much?! AHHH! It's insane! Does anyone else do this?

I was always told that guys say what they mean. If they didn't like you, they wouldn't be talking to you at all. Do guys over analyze like women do?!

I must stop this! lol.

My analysis as it applies to women is like this:
1) Read what she said or texted.
2) Interpret what she said or texted.
3) Remember I'm a guy and I'm probably wrong.
4) File 13.

I used to be like this. Then I adopted the GNF policy. Give-No-F*cks.

If you don't care, it doesn't matter.

If you don't like the game, change the rules or quit.

You are not meant to be someone's marionette. Don't base your actions on someone else's. Because then, your life consists of REactions, not ACTIONS. Do you, babygirl. And if he's willing to play along, he'll get on board or step back so someone else can step up. :-)

I agree, I should stop caring so much.

Im like that!! us women generally read far too much into stuff. If he doesnt reply, we see it as he doesnt like me, when in reality hes just busy and will reply when he gets round to it/remembers! Im trying hard not to be so stressed about things like that, but my god, its hard!!!

Or I'll send some long message and the reply will be a word or two. WTF is that?
