I just realized not too long ago just how little I'm able to communicate with Jake outside of text messages. He came over for about an hour after I got home from class. When he got here, I was checking my e-mail, but I finished that up and we started watching "National Treasure" (because it was on TV and my DVD and VCR don't work ATM). During the hour that he was here, he received about 3-5 texts. While that doesn't seem like a lot (and compared to the amount he usually gets, it's really not), it always seems like he's always getting texted while we're hanging out. And, worst of all, he always answers the texts, so they figure he's available or whatever and keep texting him back.
I was looking thru his texts on his phone and I realized that he is able to hold conversations with his "texting buddies" and it seems like I have to fight with him to get him to give me a complete sentence sometimes. You'd think it'd be easier to talk to someone face-to-face instead of having to type everything out. I don't know...maybe it's just because he's a guy and they don't communicate like women do, which is what I'm used to. Or maybe I'm just not interesting enough to hold a conversation with (which could be true since we see each other pretty much every day). Whatever it is, he seems to enjoy texting his friends more than talking with me, and I find it very frustrating when you can't hold someone's attention long enough to get out a few sentences before you lose them.
Like I said, I'm probably just being a dumb girl and expecting him to converse with me like my Mom and my female friends do. But, am I being unreasonable in wanting him to be able to pay attention to me while I'm talking to him? Am I asking too much?
