Texting and mixed signals
- Why are they texting less?Often because the relationship has moved from proving interest to living alongside each other, or because life got loud. Less texting alone doesn't tell you they care less; how they respond when you reach out tells you more.
- Why do I overthink texts?Because a text carries high stakes and very little information, so your mind supplies the missing tone. In your 30s, when you're dating with intent and reading messages all day at work, it's easy to treat a short reply like a performance review. Asking directly usually gets you clarity faster than decoding.
