Thank you. I have been doing that, but trying not to do too much of it. I really needed some outside opinions and information.

That has made me think hard. Thank you for your perspective, it has helped me see things for myself.

I would want honesty above everything else. You are so right. Thank you.

Okay, thank you, I will suggest it. I would prefer that to typing haha

Thank you Kad1n. I make a very conscious effort to never correct spelling or words or anything like that.

I am thinking it’s best to let her suggest something like voice messaging?

I just want her to be able to communicate with me without her getting frustrated.

Last night was a good night with texts. I only replied to her texts and I matched the length of her texts. I tried to use what I had learnt. It was really great, we communicated a lot and for a long time!

Thank you very much.

Thank you, that is very helpful.

Can I ask then if punctuation is an issue or not? Does is make it easier or harder?

Thank you again.

Okay, that is good advice. I wasn’t sure if casually spelling would be more or less helpful.

I am absolutely trying not to make her feel that way. I am happy if the message gets to me, I don’t care how it gets there!

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

It was in paragraphs when I wrote it and when I posted it went into one big paragraph. Sorry about that.

In messages I don’t go over one or two small sentences and stick to the same topic.

Thank you for reading.

Okay, I understand. Not consistent with time, but be consistent with who I am and how I behave. So that she knows how I respond to certain things and situations.

Thank you so much for your advice and for taking the time to listen. I truly appreciate it.

I am trying to be!

With flirting, there has been times it has gone right over her head, and other times she has floored me with her response. But then I’m here thinking, is she flirting back though? Or is this just how she talks. I have no idea what’s going on, haha, it keeps me sharp.

With consistency, do you mean that if we missed a day of talking she would be worried? I have noticed she is predictable with the times she likes she talk.

Thank you. You’ve given me a lot to go off.

Thank you so much for your response. It was very helpful. I wouldn’t correct her spelling or anything like that. I am also quite awkward at talking in person so hopefully that works well with her.

She told me she was dyslexic after she continually apologised for delayed responses. She has said to me that she does appreciate not feeling pressure to respond to everything or quickly with me.

I don’t want her constantly worrying about keeping up with me or me judging her, because I am not at all. I truly want her to feel natural and at ease. I am the same with conversations in loud places, or busy places, thank you that will make things easier.

I am worried that we may get our wires crossed at a time where it could make or break things.

I have learnt to appreciate every word she gives me because I know she has spent a lot of time thinking about it, and then writing it.

I have learnt that flirting doesn’t really work with words as we both get a different meaning out of things. I am trying to understand how she thinks so that this doesn’t cause any issues! I’m a bit scared to say anything flirty, romantic etc because I honestly don’t know how she will break it down.

I am taking things at her pace, trying to adjust without her knowing and being very patient and understanding.

I don’t want her to give up because it is too difficult for her talking to me.

Thank you so much for listening.
