Is "i don't like using the phone.."

[Helpmeplease]

I manage to cook and be on the phone at the same time, so multi tasking isnt an issue (and im a guy, you gals are supposed to be better at it anyway )
And I don't really get people not being fans of the phone
Texting - Takes too long to type stuff out
MSN - conversations end up just being "lol" "lol"
E-Mail - sooooo long
Letters - lol.
But yeah, as you can see, I think phones are the most efficent way of having a conversation ! (I hate it when I have friends that dont think so :P)

I am a phone hater. My DH is the phone talker. Pretty much he is the one to always call me. He doesn't feel bad because he knows I don't call anyone; family, friends, no one. I am very phonephobic.

Knee jerk reaction (not having read other posts): ABSOLUTE BS!! Didn't most of us talk on a phone at one point or other prior to getting up to speed on texting/email, etc? Hellooooo??

It depends on the person I am communicating with. I even canceled my home phone because I never use it. If I need to talk to someone, I just pick up the phone and call them. I don't particularly like texting. It takes too long...for me anyway. By the time I finish texting I could of dialed the persons number and had my answer already. On the other hand, I am a big IMer. Plus if you don't like what the person is saying, you could say you lost your connection. LOL

It depends on who you are referring to lol. For a guy, I think it can sometimes be BS, if its your friend-then its probably not! I absolutely HATE talking on the phone, but I text often.

I've never been one to just pick up the phone and call people much and e-mail and online messaging were made for me!

[melissa_talent]

omg, this subject alone irks the hell out of me!

i'm fairly quiet on the boards here but i can't keep quiet about this issue.

NO NO NO!

my ex used to use this excuse ALL the time -- and now he's my ex. communication is so so so important in a relationship and phone contact really touches base. my ex relied only on msn, i am ashamed to say i played that game for a year. let me tell you, i spent many nights upset over never hearing from him if i was unable to go online.

i'm now with a boy who calls me every day. i guess my point is, if the love is real, the boy (or girl) will pick up the phone to hear your voice.

I HATE talking on the phone. I much rather talk to my friends in person. Unless its my DH calling when he's away from home. Then we talk for hours.

[merika]

Depends. SO hates to call unless it's super urgent or he wants to give a message....no snuggling on the phone with him!

Me on the other hand....I'm a veritable ShimmaPuff on the phone!

I'm not a phone person but I love to email, text, or IM. It drives my friends nuts sometimes because they feel like they're always THE ones to call me.

If I'm in a relationship, I prefer face to face conversation but I'll settle for a nice 5 min "good night" chat prior to bed.

I absolutly HATE talking on the phone!!! Even to people I really love... about the only people I talk to by phone are real quick conversations...
I don't know why...I just cannot stand it....

[Jahpson]

not at all. I hate talking on the phones, i would rather have face to face communication.

I am horrible at calling people back and when i do, i dont like to be on the phone too long

[shopaholiccat]

i think it could be BS. when me and my ex first started we talk on the phone 24/7! after, he tells me he doesnt' call b/c he don't like talking on the phone! its BS!

[shopaholic81]

i remember when i use to be able to talk on the phone for hours about nothing to people i see everyday (HIGH SCHOOL!) but nowadays, i really don't like talking much on the phone at all with exception of conversations w/ my bf. we talk for an hour or so every night and that's about enough for me.

although he may not like talking on the phone much, i think you guys can come to a compromise that leaves you both satisfied. i mean, you can't force someone to like talking on the phone but you also can't force yourself to be happy with how little he calls. just have a little talk w/ him about it. he's probably oblivious to the fact that you wished he called more.

I DESPISE talking on the phone and use my cell only for texting or business/emergencies. I dont have a home phone and limit my cell phone plan to as few minutes as available because of it. I dont answer it if it rings and people often think I am just using it as an excuse. Honestly I HATE the phone. I'm not anti-social. I'll answer every text incoming, IM/email tons online and keep in contact with people that way, and am very outgoing- I just HATE the phone. lol
People who honestly hate the phone probably arent just feeding you a line- but those who talk on it non-stop then dont answer if you call are just liars and dont deserve your attention. I've met those types!
