If You Like Me, Please Don't Text Me —​ CALL ME.

Seriously, just pick up the phone already and stop sending eggplants!

I’m so tired of the texting game, and I'm so fed up with it on so many levels. Don’t get me wrong; I love to text during the day when I may be too busy to deal with much.

But here’s the problem: I have friends I text throughout the day. I have plenty of people who are official text buddies of mine, and we just chat when I need to jog my memory, come up with an idea, or mellow out. I don’t want another text buddy.

If we’re going to be serious, I want to see that you are serious about me. It’s easy enough to text over some picture of an eggplant but would you go the extra mile and just talk with me on the phone?

There is only so much you can say via text , even if you add a million emojis to it. I want to hear your voice . I want to hear how your day was. I want to talk to you and hear about how you’ve been feeling. I want to hear that yearning for something more in your voice.

Seriously. It’s not that hard to press “Dial.”

To a point, I really wish men would understand how important phone calls are . They are so much more personal than texts. Anyone can text nicely, but actually holding a conversation on the phone isn’t something most people take the time to do.

A phone call, when we aren’t busy, is such a welcome respite from a world where people simply text 99 percent of the time. But it’s not only the call’s .
