That is exactly the OP question, how confusing is that....the question is ----does a one word answer reflect a symbol of disinterest or lack of personality....you however mention that to some it is just not convenient to type a paragraph on an Iphone. That is agreeable for sure... I think it could reflect either one. But, since you are texting, try having a conversation a different way and see how it goes. |

It shouldnt really matter, a conversation is a conversation...why meet face to face if a person can not open up in the first place. That defeats the entire point of getting to know someone.... I disagree.. How well can you really get to know someone if your only contact is via text? You can type haha lol and ughhhhh all you want, but does that really give you the kind of feedback necessary to formulate an honest appraisal of their personality? I think not.. Um, that is exactly my point, duh. What is up with the one word answers...why cant a person, give a full answer, because those sound like pity answers, i am just giving you the acknowledgement you seek answers... Text messaging is an informal, basic means of communication. Do I really want to type a paragraph using my iphone to reply to "how's it going"? UH..NO Text messaging is impersonal and not a reliable means to convey personality. No matter what way someone chooses to get to know someone, they need to put in the effort for it. I don't use texting to get to know someone new, as it just doesn't work well for me. But, if it's someone I know? I have absolutely no problem with it at all. well for me personally, i have 3 kids, so texting is like gold for me....i have a hard time being on the phone talking without interruptions from them and a lot of background noise...i just like getting to know people online, them text...eventually talking... on the phone....take it slow... |

Yeah, I get that, but if you're not getting what you want/need out of texting, it's time to try something else.

One word responses are the same genre as remarks and gestures but text messaging is not.
A vocabulary has developed through 'texting' that is leaching into the vernacular and the "American-English" dictionary. There are many ways to communicate your thoughts to another person but it's incumbent on you to derive their meaning. When we choose to formulate short answers to pointed questions it's more for convenience than brevity.Tapping out a text message to give your dissertation about a compelling subject would not be as convenient as a face to face conversation. At the end of the day it all comes down to effective communication but as Abe Lincoln said, "Tis better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt".

Sometimes you like certain people but when you converse with them... You get a lot of one word answers. . is this a lack of personality,a gaurded person.... Yup,many times or does it mean they are not interested in you, This too happens or does it just mean they are really boring? This depend on our thinking Though one worded....I hope answers are satisfactory.

Interesting, and it does touch base on a thought i have that perhaps books smart people arent as dually involved in general contact with your average human being...  Krupa's a bit graphic,,lol,,but I wouldn't agree,,because I have met some smart dudes on here,,who just lived NOT having many conversations with chicks? For whatever their reasons were for that,,,so they were more awkward or shy in having that ability than being dumb....So like ladies also,,it depends on the person?
But one thing is for sure,,IF you have many conversations with them and THEY don't start to produce a more talkative side,,then it might be reasons to get away from their talks as they probably have SOME issues with their whys of not being able to just politely and intelligently converse with you...

I suppose if the texts and emails are consistent than it would not be a sign of disinterest...
Invictus made a good point too--it's pretty hard to type a paragraph on an phone...it's quite annoying too. when three texts pop up all together, or you run out of space and have to continue---that sux. |
