Texting

I am currently in a relationship which consists entirely of texting. No phone calls, no emails, no person to person contact excepting the time we initially met, both traveling, and spent some odd hours together. He texts me multiple times a day, sending pics and says he loves me.

I don't really know what my question is, other than that I am confused. Is this even a relationship? Does it qualify?

I think you answered your own question.

No. I prefaced my question. I'm actually more interested in consensus opinion. Is is possible to have a "real" relationship based solely on texting? To take it further... what are the odds that this relationship could work out?

Why dont u guys see each other is it long distance relationship?

Long distance at the moment, but can easily be remedied with a bus ticket. I'm not concerned about it. More wondering what psychologically is the process of a man who is texting exclusively... GEEZ, I apologize for my syntax... it's late. Forgive. But you get the gist.

Maybe its just out of convenience or he doesnt enjoy talking on the phone.

is a relationship solely physical?

No. This isn't my dilemma. Posing that question has nothing to do with what I'm hoping to find out.

Does anyone have any OPINIONS or VALUE-BASED JUDGMENTS to offer me? I'd like to avoid objective thought and theoretical analysis. If it were you, would you tell them to bug off after a while? Is it absurd? Is it just because he's not man enough to pick up the phone? Or does he have a speech impediment I don't know about?

you see, you are analying too, thinking of the possibility of a speech impediment or little masculinity. i have resorted to analysis because if it really were me then there would be no phone and no one on the other end. you could just ask him why the texting instead of talk. after all, he is the one who can answer you best. if you get that answer, youd be in a better place to ask someone else what the hells goin on.

In my experience and opinion, it qualifies. I only would tell him to bug off if I actually wanted him to do that.

But then again I don't need to be around someone. Email or texting is sufficient. Whether that invalidates my opinion for you or not, I don't know, but you did ask for opinions without analysis.
