This time, should I text first?

It depends on the guy.

But, from my own experiences, I have always loved receiving txts first.

Time to test the water and find out.

Not all guys are the same, dont judge us all on your ex'es behaviour.

Yes, definitely text him back! You won't scare him off as long as it's just a nice text telling him hi, how are you, etc. Just send him a quick text and wait for him to text you back before sending any more. There is nothing wrong with a girl sending a text first, and you are probably right about him being busy.

I'm not sure what you meant by the first paragraph about your ex or how that even fits in with your question.

NO. Let the new dude wonder about you. If he's wondering, he will be texting. If he's not wondering or texting, that means he's not into you. He isnt stupid; guys can tell when you like them, so dont worry about a guy "not knowing" if you are interested or not.

Let me give you something to consider: Guys go out with all women. ALL women. (If theres a chance they can get laid, they do it. ALLL WOMEN. But some guys are only into Asian girls. If this dude is one of those men, and say you arent Asian, you can call/ text/ email/ stand on your head naked and tell him with a skywriting plane that you are interested in him.. But unless you are Asian, he is just NOT going to be into you. See it now? Let men come to you.

Also, this is important to know about men: DONT think of your ex, or tell men how little your ex texted you, or how much he texted you, etc etc etc. Every man is diff. So to waste time for YOU to be thinking bout this, is a waste of your time. Just focus on the above thought: When a man likes you, he makes it KNOWN to you. He will PURSUE YOU. Period.

If a guy's not pursuing fcuk him and move on. There are billions of men in this world. Dont "convince" guys they want to be with you... remember the "Asian Women"... see? Good luck.

i'll suggest you to hold on. men can be aroused like kitten if you play hard to get. they'll feel more tempted to try and catch you (if you know what i mean).

texting him won't do anything wrong, you can ask him something like "hey, did i left something at **** (wherever you want)", or "hey, do you know any good restaurant around here?", you can talk about lots of stuff as to initiate text msg. :)

Hes probably waiting to see if your going to make the move first instead of him texting first all the time so i say go for it! He will appreciate it!
