I'm so bad at the email/texting thing

[Bernadine]

I have a super dry sense of humor that I'm sure comes across as bitchy in writing.

I'm texting a guy, who just sent me something really corny, and I want to reply "dork!" which is what I'd say in real life, because I'd be laughing and flirty, but would not come across nearly the same in a text.

I also have a dry sense of humor, so I make liberal use of emoticons when texting and emailing. I'd use a or after it to make sure he knows you're joking.

I tend to overuse emoticons and would include a smiley face. That's probably way annoying though.

I do the SAME Thing! In fact, I did the same thing to the guy I'm dating yesterday. We both have really dry senses of humor, and I said something in email yesterday where I was like "Um, I wonder if I offended him and he thinks I'm serious?" as I have yet to hear from him this AM so of course I'm overthinking it.

What about including yourself in the line so it doesn't look bitchy. Like "didn't think anyone could be a dorky as me!"

Haha ok I have this issue too. I always call people dorks but I mean it as a compliment and say it out of love. To me, dorks are awesome, funny people! But yeah, some guys take it as an insult but eh I still do it and then explain the comment if need be. I think your fine and don't over think it!

Just be yourself so he can like you for who you really are.

I have a very dry and dark sense of humor...it doesn't come across well in texts unless people know me.

I went with something else and he still replied "ouch." lol. Buck up, buttercup, I want a guy that can take a little ball busting!

In my world dork and sweetie are interchangeable!! Use a and you're all good!

I'm the same way, but luckily, BF, my friends, and my family get it. Liberal use of emoticons helps.

I think guys secretly love ball busting.
