I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard.

Mtnman, think about it...it's not the texting you hate...it's that she isnt communicating with YOU!

I went through my hating texting stage too...showing how rude it was, begging H to stop at times, demanding to see the phone ... all that.

I couldn't beat it ... so I joined it!

One day, Mtnman, one day, she may want to text with you! Heck if she likes doing it...use it to your advantage!

My H and I text a lot. I don't overtext, just like the occasional spurts. Sometimes we text in the same room with one another or if our boys are around and it's casual...just to share funny stuff. And our boys both have phones so we are constantly sharing/texting pics with one another.

It's just a great way to communicate.

I say, if W likes doing it, don't hate it. Just wait and be responsive as to opportunities to text with her. At your stage, I wouldn't recommend flirty texts, and even now my flirting is very casual....not serious if you know what I mean.

It's so fun as you get closer, so just recognize...the "hating" is the sitch and the limbo. Texting is just a way of communication.

Just my 2 cents.
