I have been dating a guy for slightly more than a year now and things are going great. We are both in our late twenties and I'm renting my own place with a few friends and so does he. I travel often because of my job and I keep in touch with him almost entirely by telecommunication - MSN Messenger and gmail chat programs to be exact. When I am not overseas, we text each other on our mobile phones most of the week and only meet up once or twice a week for the movies, or parties with friends or to make love.
I notice that, apart from our weekend meetups which occur once or twice a week, our means of communication very often does not involve using our voices. Even when we meet, we barely have anything new to talk about simply because we have told each other practically everything via email or phone text. We talk dirty using our fingers way more than our voices, just typing away...
We either text on the phone or chat online. We never call each other during the week and the only reason for either of us to call each other is to say that we have just got out of the taxi or the train station or that whoever has arrived first at the place to meet will be waiting for the other. Or if there were some emergency during which we would definitely call out but other than that, we never ever call.
And I do like the fact that we don't meet each other so often because I actually enjoy this system that seems to work by the maxim: absence makes the heart fonder. And he hasn't complained about it. I like to imagine that we could have been working up some sexual tension by want of sight or sound of each other for several days, right before just pouncing on each other like there's no tomorrow when we meet. And time just flies at such supersonic speed these days it's already been slightly more than a year, basically building up sexual tension and keeping the interest going by text messages.
There are no problems, except for our bouts of mood swings and the ensuing silent treatment or 'giving each other space' armistice.
We seem to have no limit to what topics to talk about with each other - especially on my part and he is really such a good encouraging listener who asks good questions too; and we can barely keep our mitts off of each other once we meet, our kisses are so intense, oh my god... which is to say, we are just crazy about each other. But what interests me to start this discussion now is to find out whether there are others who are in a similar mode of dating - by text exchange, and not much phone calls?
