How do you handle people who are constantly calling/texting you?

[BuckSparkles]

Totally agree and it's good advice, but that last part was wholly unnecessary.

Did you guys get your heart broken hard by chicks in the past or something?

Women have been at the center of most of my problems, sure.

Hell, this week I have pissed off 3 of my gal friends.

Also nice new picture. You a doctor or something?

[sonololo]

Tell them to stop calling and texting? How old are you?

I'm not seeing why this is such a complex thing.

I'm not seeing why it's hard to see that some people ignore straight "dont call and text me" requests.

Then give him a silent text/ringtone noise that way you can choose when you want to converse, because he will definitely respond within minutes given how much he is crushing on you.

This is good advice. I'll try talking to him again, and I'll try this if that doesn't work. Thanks

See thread title.

I'm a busy girl and a massive introvert, I hate the phone and I only text people when I have to (ie., going out somewhere). I'll make exceptions for certain people phone-wise like friends who live halfway across the country/abroad, but those are rare exceptions.

Long story short there are 2-3 guys that I'm talking to that text me nonstop and it's fucking annoying, one of them will ask me what I'm doing at least once an hour during the workday. I tell them I'm working and it seems to go completely over their head.

Right at this very second one of them is complaining about how mean I am because I only sent him a couple dozen texts today (23...I counted).

How do I tell people nicely that I have better things to do than text all day long?

I handle it by not giving my number out to people I don't want texting me.

Ah the circle jerk is still going on, not surprising given the OP

Infracted

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

But she said she isn't quite not interested in them.

"...isn't quite not interested..." hahahaahah wtf is that?

[BuckSparkles]

"...isn't quite not interested..." hahahaahah wtf is that?

It's woman for "I plan on stringing him along."

Yes sir and thank you.

Also sorry to hear about the problems, is drama being caused for the sake of drama or?

[Celista]

I'm interested in talking to them, just not 24/7. Ignoring them/telling them I'm busy and that I can talk later = they just text me anyway.

One is worse than the other two, I talk to him more than anyone else yet he gets upset when I am obviously doing other things like at the gym or working.

You are incredibly passive aggressive. Like seriously, don't be a jerk.

[BuckSparkles]

Good deal.

And eh, I won't derail the thread.

But to sum up.

One hates me because of my politics. One things I am an asshole, and also hates me for my politics, and the third is getting tired of me complaining to her about the two who hate me for my politics.

I have a knack for pissing off lady friends. My dude friends and I get along despite very distinct differences in things.

Maybe he is THAT guy.

I just use a land line so I can always tell people "sorry wasn't home."

Why do you want to keep in contact with someone who ignores your request or acts like a needy child? Booty call?

When I was dating women like that got the boot right away.

[Maruka]

These guys sound like huge betas lmao.

I'd still suggest outright telling him/them exactly how you feel about the level of communication going on. Be honest, blunt, but gentle, and if they disregard that then I'm sorry to say you should probably move on as even though you like them and might be attracted to them physically; communication is key to a relationship.

The worst thing you can do however is string any of them along if you don't seriously intend to date them or if it's just a fwb sort of deal.

[Revi]

I don't respond.

If you keep responding, don't complain. You obviously enjoy it on some level.

[TITAN308]

M'lady!

(couldn't resist)

[Deleted]

Grow up. Learn how to communicate with others and you won't have this "problem"

Gonna go with this, really. How is this an issue for anyone that isn't a teen girl?

Block, delete, tell them to fuck off? This isn't hard.

Are these possible romantic relationships, or just pure platonic? I think thats the most important question in this situation. It really changes what sort of response to give them.

Romantic- 'Dump" them ... you obviously don't like high maintenance men...

Platonic- Be firm and explain this behavior isn't work as friends and you will block them if you need to do so.
