For example, the other day I was texting a guy and he kept texting me with words such as “u” or “ur”. I let him knew it bothered me and he said sorry, but then keeps doing the same thing. In my opinion, it’s fine with friends, but when a guy shows interest in me I think it’s just lazy. I don’t know, it could just be the age group. We are college aged... why do you all think?

Avoid taking it seriously so long you understand the text .If he is a guy interested in you it is crazy to use abbreviations and slang.He should respect you and use words that will give the feeling that he like you more than a friend.This is typically the way how college guys act .Avoid taking him seriously and ignore his texts.

Ask yourself is it worth losing your mind over the word 'u' or 'ur'?
I know people who text 'K' instead of 'OK', let alone apostrophe.
If it bothers you don't reply by text, call instead. I feel it's not worth fussing if you want to save the relationship. You'll get use to it.
So if he was still a friend, you don't mind him texting 'u' or 'ur'?
Give him a break...

Failure to use entire words, correct spelling and punctuation, makes me think the person doesn't care enough about me to bother. I think it's insulting.

You're taking this way too personally. In your mind he's doing it intentionally and you think it's what...? His way of passively aggressively telling you you're not important?
It's probably just how he texts. The way we all text is habit. It's not personal or a way to send some signal to a person their importance or lack thereof.
Unless your entire text session with him is lacking and he seems bored,uninterested or uninvested,. 'one word replies etc'. Don't judge a college kid too harshly on using text shorthand. We all do it sometimes.

I think it’s nothing to worry about. Maybe he’s just tired. Or not a good texted.
