Dating and Communication: Is He Into Me?

Is he interested?  Is he into me?  That’s one of the most common questions women have uttered about men.  Men confuse women.  Many women have experienced giving out their numbers to men who do not call them up.  It’s common to hear them saying, “but he seemed interested, so why hasn’t he called?!”

The Confusion:  Is He Interested?

Dating has become quite challenging these days.  There are various ways to communicate.  Not surprisingly, women are confused about what to expect.  A guy can choose to send text message, but can fail to call altogether.  Does that mean he is not interested?  Is he just biding his time?  If he is texting and not calling, is it safe to assume that he is into you?  Should you call him up?  Are you wondering, “Is he into me?”

The first thing that you have to know is that you are not alone.  Millions of women all over the world have experienced the same thing.  Unfortunately, dating communication skills have hit an all-time low.  Ironically, this should not have been the case considering the various communication options available to singles.  It seems that despite all these options available – email, text, Skype, Facebook messaging –people continue to struggle with effective communication.  Whatever happened to a simple telephone call?

People seem to shy away from an actual phone conversation because this requires them to have a real conversation.  When you call up someone, you actually put yourself out there.  There is something significant about a phone conversation because it takes courage to call up someone you are interested in.  It is so easy to send an email or a text than to actually call.  Unfortunately, sending a text or an email hardly constitutes great communication.  So, what do you do?

The Answer: He is Into Me!

How to you deal with these communication issues?  How will know you if the guy is interested or not?  Here are a couple of suggestions that you might want to take note of.

First off, you need to put the ball in their court.  When a guy texts you, do not hesitate to text back, “Give me a call.  I look forward to speaking with you.”  This puts the ball in his court.  His next action will likely determine his interest.  If he does call you, then he is definitely into you.

Secondly, before you give out your number to anyone, you should make it clear that you prefer phone calls over text messages.  You should let him know that you will not respond to text messages.  By doing this, you will not have to ask yourself, “is he into me?”
