Im sorry, she doesnt seem interested. She'd be finding a way to reschedule if she was.0

Update:
I called her and she asked "who is this" which immediately made me think she didn't even have my phone saved in her contacts. LOL.. which was funny.. I asked her if she was busy and she said she was actually at work.. so i was like.. "I didn't know you were working but just wanted to say hello.. i guess I'll talk to you later" So yeah.. I'm done with that one. LOL.. Moving on.

Good for you - that "who is this" wow that is harsh! But I may need to be using that soon. And I concur texting SUCKS!!!0 -
I get anxiety for talking on the phone. I am much more comfortable with text and face to face.0

I am most comfortable with face to face, but I am more comfortable with phone than texting. I hate the thought that everything I'm getting from the other person is edited, that I can't hear the tone of his voice or see his facial expressions so that his words have some context, etc. It's not that big of a deal when you're already in a relationship and you don't need those cues, but when you're trying to get to know someone, I just think texting comes with unintended consequences. It's way too easy to misinterpret someone over a text message.
I also just think it's lazy, and that, in my opinion, is what our generation has made acceptable. All I hear is "it's easier." Well, if I'm not worth the monumental effort of a phone call, let's just end the charade now.0 -
I admit I am not really a phone person either since I am on the phone all day. Texting is my preferred way to communicate or face to face. Today I will readily say texting sucks, because I was dumped today via text. That is something that should be done face to face0

Definitely, next! Wow.. "who is this?" Really..
LOL!!! It was funny!! Doesn't reflect her age or what i thought her maturity level was... she make an effort to say that she wish she didn't have to work....assuming she meant she wish she could have time to talk... but yeah.. she killed the moment when she said who's this.. oh well.
You made a great effort, but you deserve someone who is as into you as you are into her! Next.0 -

Favorite text "rejection":
Me: blah blah blah
Him: Sorry, lost my phone and the numbers. Who is this?
Me: Oh, it's Lori.
Him: Lori who??
A week later - run into him on campus, and just walk on by w/o acknowledging him.
Him: Hey, Lori? Not even going to say hi?
Me: *turns around and glares* I'm going to be late to class. *walks off*
Next week - I run into him at a local hardware store, where he just started working in customer service.
Him: Hey you. Whatcha looking for?
Me: *keeps discussion to purpose, determine they don't carry what I'm looking for*
Him: So, I haven't heard from you lately, whats up?
Me: *glares* Lori who?
Me: *walks out of the store*0 -

my thought maybe he knows more then 1 Lori and didn't know which one you were through text.0 -
Considering the message, the out of state area code, and the history/intimacy between us... it wouldn't have been difficult to ID me WITHOUT my name.0

Are you sure he wasn't just teasing you? Sounds like something I'd do except maybe I'd add an lol orConsidering the message, the out of state area code, and the history/intimacy between us... it wouldn't have been difficult to ID me WITHOUT my name.
so they knew I was joking.
That's one bad thing about texting, teasing and sarcasm doesn't always go over well.0 -

Me too exactly! It gets really bad. If I have to call someone, I sit there freaking out.0
