Q: Yesterday was my birthday, and instead of getting a call from a guy that I'm REALLY into, I get a text! Super short convo, and he didn't answer/return my calls! He did say he was going to be busy but that he'd make time for me. (he didn't!). What does this mean? Thought he liked me, but is he just not that into me?

A: My answer to this question depends on how long you two have been dating and how serious your relationship is. If it's no...

Q: Dear CG, any thoughts on Whatsapp? My BF got addicted to it, but I don't like to see him txting all the time and sharing all random/special/good/bad moments with all his friends. Am I being too jealous?

A: In case you haven't heard of it, Whatsapp is a messaging app that lets you text and message friends for free. It's like ...

Q: My boyfriend is sooo boring over text. Does that mean he doesn't want to talk to me?

A: Hardly. Just that he's not William Shakespeare. Texting is just like any other form of writing; some people have a talen...

Q: I need some good ol' fashion wise-assery. Had an awesome first date. He seemed totally into in and having fun. When I got home I texted "had a great time lets do it again soon" and his response was "no problem." Did I misinterpret the interest and good time?

A: Yeah, as responses go, that one's certainly underwhelming, so, yes, you could have misinterpreted the good time, or he c...

Q: When i text a guy why does he always ask for pictures of me?

A: Blame the Internet for this one. I'm assuming these are guys you've met online, and taken to to the "phone" level. If th...

Q: It's been a month since I've responded, but he keeps texting me (from "I love you, I miss you, I want you" to "I hate you, I hope you get hit by a bus"). He's doing anything to get me to respond. I still have feelings for him but I refuse. I want to move on. How much longer do I need to deal with this?

A: Allow me to rant about texting for a second. As much as I appreciate the convenience, that sort of crap would never have...

Q: If a guy hasn't text me in 9 days and I start missing him and I text him "I miss you" and then I ask honestly "did you miss me?" he says "kinda" what does that mean?

A: He's not interested. There are few worse responses to "Do you miss me?" than "kinda." Sure, "no" is worse, but who is go...

Q: iPhone or BlackBerry? I own a BlackBerry but am thinking of changing. What would you suggest?

A: BlackBerry, but the iPhone is definitely tempting. I've held out because I like my phone to, you know, actually make pho...

Q: After his work xmas party my bf spent the night with coworkers in a hotel. I worried all night! He said it was 'no big deal' but now he's texting a girl from work all the time and hanging out with her. I'm worried something is up. Rough patch or problem?

A: Problem. First question: why didn't he take you to the party? I've never been to a work Christmas party where you weren'...

Q: I broke up with a guy over a text. We only went on 2 dates so I didn't figure it was a big deal. All he said back was "k". Does this mean he really didn't care, or he's pissed at me?

A: Probably a little of both. Two dates warrants an email break up at the very least. Honestly, I'd rather someone just blo...

Q: I found text msgs between my husband and his ex. He told her about me, but he also told her he loved her. When confronted he said that he hurt her badly and needed her forgiveness to move on, and she wouldn't talk to him if she knew we were married, but that he loves me and has never cheated. Should I believe him?

A: Well, I don't think he handled this well, but it all sounds pretty legit. He should have told you he was communicating w...

Q: Do guys like it when girls text or call "for no reason?" I hate to call or text unless I have a reason, but my friends say if I don't call a guy he will think I'm not into him. Really, I just like to wait for them to call me.

A: You will break many hearts, my dear. Guys, especially guys who are into you in a big way, are nearly as phone- text- and...

Q: My boyfriend is mad that I don't text him throughout the day to let him know if I'm busy or free. My days are a bit chaotic and very stop-and-go, why can't he just assume that I'm busy when I don't answer him right away? I feel like I'm reporting to some higher authority with every text and it's quite irritating.

A: I can relate. I don't love texting. I accept that it's part of the way we communicate now, but if I have to punch button...

Q: I recently broke up with my bf, but we've stayed good friends. However, when I text him stuff like, "So glad we're friends," "You're an incredible person," "I care so much about you; I want you to be happy," his only reply is a smiley face. WTF?!

A: Could be one of two things. Thing 1: He's just being a guy, i.e. he doesn't like to text, or his phone doesn't have a QW...

Q: What is a guy's view on dirty texts, and what is appropriate and what is not? Thanks!

A: My opinion on "sexting" (I hate that phrase with a fiery passion) is that less is more. An occasional filthy text about ...

Q: My boyfriend acts shady around me when he gets a phone call or a text message. He says he has issuses with privacy and that he doesn't like people knowing what he's doing all the time. Do I have the right to feel like he's hiding another girl from me?

A: No. You don't have the right to feel like he's hiding another girl from you. He, however, has a right to privacy. He has...

Q: Maybe I've been watching too much "He's just not that into you," but I refuse to text a guy first. If he is interested he will text me. Not only the first time, but like as we date he should always text me first. How do guys feel about this?

A: You are the games you play. I am a firm believer that like minded people run together: so people who play petty little m...
