Dating Dilemma: How to Call Your Partner On Poor Phone Etiquette

So she won't get off the phone? Or he refuses to answer and always shoots a text? This is fine if you're a person who communicates a similar way, but if you need more face to face time or face to phone time, there's definitely a way to ask for it.

Though humans are the smartest creatures walking the earth, we still fault to pick up signals that a partner may be displeased with our form of communicating. Here's how to avoid having conflict about phone time.

Tell them you're not the biggest talker

If your partner is one that is rather chatty and doesn't dare spend less than an hour I the phone, you may be longing for a little more space. It is always best to discuss communication style in the beginning. However, if you skipped a step, it's never too late to dial it back. One day when he seem to have you left you to your devices, shoot him a message. Say some funny things to lighten the blow but tell them you like just texting and you both should do it more often. This is a positive way to ask for what you want.

Tell them you need more time on the phone

If your partner is the biggest texter, there's a sure thing that you're going to meet them halfway when it comes to picking up the communication. A way to gradually add in more talk time, is to start making the calls. Make sure when you do you have thought of interesting things to talk about. They'll fall in love with conversation and see that a little online chasing isn't so bad. However, don't expect for them to call you as much as you call them and understand when they don't wish to talk as much as you expected. It's about compromise.

Tell them they have a rude messaging style

Sometimes we don't know when we're over sharing or under mining. If your partner never lets you get a letter in text wise, they have to know you don't feel listened to in your daily communication. On the other hand, if your partner is only apt to give two letter responses, they need to know that you feel they don't value your communication or time.

You have to have these hard conversations in the world of love sometimes. It does not make any party the bad person, it should be used only as a tool to make sure you're both satisfied literally speaking. Compromise is key when trying to find a communication style you both can commit to.
