A few weeks ago, in a relaxed, quiet place with no barbecue afternoons, one of the unmarried girls decided to provoke a conversation that was about dating. “Why would a young man,” he asked, as all the men with a beer in his hand and a ring in his hand move in fear, promised to call after the first good day, doing nothing but sending loving SMS messages to others. Two weeks? A few thoughtful cards quickly headed to the amusement park to compliment the host on his stakes-rolling techniques and discuss last night’s game. We all found ourselves surrounded by a school of isolated white women, watching their deer over a fourth glass of foam. As a single man, I knew my chances of surviving a conversation were far from over. Always carefully, I leaned against the safety of the kitchen door, moaning something about the roof. Hiding behind the walls of the bachelor pad, as I have survived my close experience of eunuchs, I feel like it is now safe to give you the inner knowledge of how the boys' brain works (or doesn't work) when it comes to telephone dating procedures. Of course, there are books that will tell you that Mars doesn't want that on Venus, because she has the maturity of an eight-year-old and really wants Mother Earth. Too much, they sound good, but they throw them into the real world and are as useless as the man holding the toilet brush. I have wonderful female friends. Some are married, some in a relationship. Like you, they are all attractive, interesting, and intelligent women. However, you all suffer the same fate. I call it Meningitis. He caught up with the legendary Romeo who stole a kiss during a break during the pre-school breakfast break, and left you with a Tonga truck and a sandpit at lunchtime. As a result, you seem to be spending an important part of your life analyzing men's actions and words. In the case of communication, the answer is really simple. Men do not really enjoy talking to women on the phone. Okay, maybe when the conversation turns a little weird our ears are heard, but for the most part, the very thought is scary to death. He has black straps on his voice box. That's what you do. Your goal is to see if we can keep your mind on things that are less physical. Our goal is to get out of the phone while you still want to see us again. In the face-to-face world, we do not have to rely solely on our fake communication skills. We can lighten up the smile of our boys, shake hands with them, make senseless jokes, or try to hold hands. Anything that will distract you from what we are going to say. As physical beings, we feel at home here. We can measure how you react to our antics, learn your body language, and monitor your cleavage if you don't watch. On the phone, we feel obvious. Sometimes we can be. When you stop talking, we are expected to respond, and we know you are listening carefully with those built-in radars. We open our mouths and the words are almost too scared to come out. We can hear your analytical mind moving when you ask, "What did you mean by that"? "How funny is your dog with a stone"? Between “mm hmm” and silence that closes the ears. Our confidence is shaken as we capture insightful comments and interesting anecdotes. It really does damage our brain, doesn't it? Then comes SMS, a beep that sounds like a light to the shallow world of masculinity, providing the perfect weapon against verbal interaction. We can make you feel desirable while drinking beer with our partners at the bar. We have time to bring a complete line of humor. It enables us to absorb your research questions and respond with confidence. You even end the conversation with a hint of a meeting, without dating, and go out looking good. Want to know why a guy sends you endless text messages and never calls? Think of his mind as a refrigerator. If he doesn't like it the next day, he slips in between his remaining pizza and six packets of beer. If she doesn’t like it much, she’s her spaghetti bolognese. A delicious meal, but he doesn't really want you to run for two nights. So put it on the ice between the brunette behind the bank counter, and the red head from the gym. So what's the answer if you really like the guy? Stop making it easy for her to keep you at arm's length. You are on Message Street and there are no traffic signs. If you are looking for him, you should turn the tables. It means taking an SMS game to the channels. Where the hunter is hunted, and one false step can be dangerous.
