While I do value all of the married/attached guys opinions and their past experience, I am asking this question to the currently single guys.

Would it be a deal-breaker to you if a woman you are interested in requested not to text (with each other)? This is assuming she told you she was okay with talking on the phone, getting together person, and short emails after you know each other well.

FYI: I did not create this to be a thread to ***** about texting, I just want to know from the guys what they would think if they received this request.

So I'm not a single guy but I imagine it might be less pressure that way. Make an occasional phone call, meet up here and there - old style dating.

Sounds refreshing, actually.

Not single, but I would be fine with a no texting thing...... I don't care much for texting anyways, so it isn't much of a sacrifice. Texting should be for quick messages, not full blown conversations......

I like my space. Little to no contact outside of the time we see each other, is fine for me.

Absolutely fine. I can't stand texting and prefer talking on the phone or getting together.

I am from Generation Y but I do not text at all. I do not see the point of it and with my big fingers I would not be skilled in texting. I am an extreme outlier for my generation but I would prefer emails the most. I hate phones.

I would find it very odd, since everyone I know texts these days. What would her reasoning be for that decision?

Would somebody please explain to me the attraction of texting? For occasional communication, call. For more detailed missives, send e-mail. For something more intimate, mail a hand-written letter - on actual paper, in an envelope, with a stamp!

At present I don't even own a device enabled for texting.

Because I don't enjoy it.

I do text to trade info like directions and stuff.... and here and there with friends I know really well when we can't really talk (like when at work) and it's semi-urgent, but it's usually short messages.
