ARE MEN MORE ROMANTIC THAN WOMAN?
I wasn't particularly aware of texting until about 3 years ago. I was probably first alerted to it by reading curmudgeony letters in the Guardian giving out about young people writing things like C U L8R.
Of course now texting is ubiquitous and forms an essential part of courting rituals. I think it is brilliant for arranging appointments, for letting people know you're going to be late or confirming where exactly you are meeting but it is not a substitute for proper communication. In my view texts should be used in a limited way and in very restricted circumstances; to give information, to flirt or for the occasional bit of filth.
The text messages I dislike most are the soppy ones:
- Thinking about you loads xx
- Yes me too x
- Are you thinking about me every minute? xxx
- Yes quite often x
- Can I send you a big good night kiss? xxxx
- Yes that would be fine x
- Don't you want to send me a big good night kiss? xxxxx
- Feck off and don't be annoying me! I'm watching Newsnight and I can't be arsed with this kind of adolescent crap.
Maybe I'm just not cut out for relationships.

I started my current relationship with a text message! We were at opposite ends of the country, so I couldn't just go and see him. I thought that a telephone call was too confrontational, whilst an email could lead to an agonising wait so I chose to text. Worked for me. And yes, I may have sent or received flirty or filthy texts from time to time... ;)
Like you say, they are great for certain things, but I can't see the point of the "soppy" ones either.
I'm male. I like romantic, don't like soppy and prefer phone calls to texts. I've had 2 long-term relationships (12 years+ each) but I do sometimes wonder if it's worth the effort. :)
I think my problem is I don't know the difference between soppy and romantic. I guess the first makes your toes curl and the second gives you butterflies in the pit of your stomach.
