Here are 4 odd texting behaviors that mean a man’s about to break your heart:
1. The generic text that sounds like it was written to multiple womenHe’s not ready to be exclusive but seeks female attention. For this guy, texting is the perfect way to keep you — a woman — at arm’s length. In this case, texting is his low-commitment way to stay in touch.2. The cheating text accidentally calling you a different woman’s nameHe seems to be romantically interested in you, even though he’s in a relationship. Many experts refer to such relationships as emotional cheating: when a man who has a wife or live-in girlfriend creates an emotionally close bond with another woman via texting. He isn’t physically cheating, just flirting with other women. You wouldn’t want a man who knows your man engaging other women this way, because he knows how to be a heartbreaker.3. The desperate text that feels needyThis guy might text you all day. He wants your attention and needs your help. He’ll either appeal to your nurturing side or just text little things all day to stay in touch. Eventually, you’ll wait for the day when he doesn’t text back.
4. The controlling text asking where you are all the timeHe shows a lot of interest, wanting to know what you are up to and where you are going. Initially, you might feel flattered, but his demanding texts can get old, annoying, and even worrisome. The controlling guy might have time to date you, but he uses texting to keep a tight rein on you.
For the man who texts frequently but makes no time to see you, you should take this as a sign that something is not right. Some men satisfy their need for emotional support via text without having to date you.
