I don't think that any guy minds as long as he actually likes you. Much like any interaction in life, regardless of gender, nothing is a problem unless the person on the receiving end doesn't actually like the person doing the sending.
It's why women who are digging into a man's life are either stalkers or just cute and trying to get involved. Or why men who call a lot are either overbearing and ewwww or showing how much they're really interested. Everything comes down to the general interest level of the person on the receiving end.
So, cute texts? Sure, guys like them. Or at the very least don't mind getting them. If a dude is feeling you he won't mind you sharing inane elements of your day or letting him know the random moments that you're thinking of him. Unless of course you are just overkill with it. Because NOBODY loves overkill. Everything in moderation isn't only a way of life, it's a way of life.
And yes I said that twice on purpose. Google me baby.
Oh, and he especially won't mind (if he likes you, again) as long as you don't expect him to reciprocate because many men do suck with the cheesy texts. But ya never know, some guys will give it a go. Or give it a run.
Rihanna!
all of these really good points, i think the most important one is at the end starting with the words "don't expect...." a lot of women set themselves up for disappointment when they do attach expectations on stuff like that, and men just don't think the way we do. if he likes you he will love to hear you miss waking up beside him, and it might make him smile and be a great way to start his day, but he might not think to text back a sweet thx or whatever, or that text might be followed with 1000 crazy work texts or emails he has to deal with before he even begins his commute. if you're doing it just to let him know you are thinking of him, and not because you want a text back in validation of your thoughtfulness, i think most men will be thrilled. but we've all been caught up in that, as women we are wired to communicate, and we hope/expect reciprocation and it just doesnt always happen, but may be no reflection on you at all. and the overkill is such a good one too. i've seen girlfriends text their man something like that, and then two hours later "did you get my text???? how are you?? is your phone ok?? hope your having a great day!! ??" a good rule of thumb if you are initiating is not to put expectations on it, and once you initiate, stick to the 1:1 rule so oft mentioned here. he sends one text, you send ONE back. he makes one call, you make ONE back. no more. no less.
Haha, you should've had someone review this. Especially the second paragraph. Good answer though :)
You're right. that was a total miscarraige of justice. I have gone back and fixed errors. lol.
I don't mind the sappy stuff at all. Every man wants to feel special, even if we aren't that good at reciprocating it.
Yeah it's a good hint if your BF (or whomever) says or asks you to text them through your day. But at the same time you also gotta consider if they work or whatever else is going on in their life to allow a reasonable time for any reply from them before you start worrying about accidents or phone batteries dead or whatever.
For me so long as I can talk to my BF once a day on the phone and then some txting I'm good it lets me know he's alive and how things are in his life. He even actually gets sad when I don't text him even things I feel would be getting annoying XD but if he enjoys hearing things in your life ( even if he can't reply right away) and tells you to text him odds are so long as you aren't texting every 5 seconds (unless it's a long text about something funny or whatever) he'll enjoy it and be happy you're sharing your day.
