Change your number

[AI Opinion]

Navigating the choppy waters of a text-heavy friendship can be like trying to avoid overindulgence at a California beach barbecue—tempting, but you know you gotta keep it balanced! If your friend is hitting the text button like it's going out of fashion, it's time to gently nudge her into the chill zone. Communication is the heartthrob of any relationship, so letting her know how you feel can weave magic. You might say, "Love how we can chat about anything and everything! But, finding the perfect balance between our chat marathons and the rest of life’s craziness can really keep the suspense alive in our convos. What do you think?" It keeps the vibe flirty and constructive, setting the stage for a healthier texting rhythm. Plus, open communication like this is an ultimate green flag in the love language of friendships!

I’ve told her off before that I didn’t like it

[ProbablyClueless]

Restate that you enjoy talking with her, but that she really is texting you too much. And then give her some number of texts that would be acceptable to you.

It's important to give her an acceptable number because that will show her that you aren't unreceptive to talking with her, and refocuses the issue on her behavior. You don't want her to feel like you are making a personal attack.

I told her before but she continues to send big paragraph after paragraph

[ProbablyClueless]

Okay. So tell her again. Tell her your expected alternative.

[MacDaddyRico]

Rather than changing your number, you can just block hers.

Try talking to her about it, give her one last chance.

I also hate consistent texters. I use my phone as a phone for friends, business and emergency, not to text or to go online to play games, chat, facebook, whatever.

[Asker]

Get boring after awhile texting she also doesn’t live in my country so she tends to send texts so late at night and I need to get things ready for work

[MacDaddyRico]

You can turn your phone off or mute it when you go to bed.

[DishLady]

She’s possibly try to show she heard you but also misses you.


Slow down YOUR response time and see if that helps her pace her texts a bit better.

[Asker]

It’s never just 1 or 2 texts it’s just a text marathon all day long it will just go on forever every single day from the moment I get up to th eminent I go to bed and my boyfriend moans that’s I go on my phone too much

[DishLady]

Hmm… yeah I get how annoying that is. Try using the DND feature at a particular point daily or put her texting on Mute so it’s not constantly going off.

[RavVid]

Block her. A girl would send me 300 texts between 1 am and 3 am. Turned the phone off and just deleted everything in the morning. She was as mad as a cut snake so telling her not to would have provoked more.

[Changiis07]

Have her call you instead..

[Danny_dan92]

You’re a great friend….

[Asker]

Texting all throughout is a bit much mate

[Danny_dan92]

All throughout what?

[Asker]

The day 24/7

[Asker]

Even my boyfriend says I’m on my phone too much

[Danny_dan92]

Ok. Then end the friendship. Poor girl, she probably has nobody to talk too

[Asker]

I used to be that poor and people would tell me to get a life or get more hobbies

[Asker]

That girl**

[Asker]

They also told me I made them feel uncomfortable with the amount of texts

[Danny_dan92]

Already told you what you need to do. End of story

[Hotboy_booblover]

Give her my number

[Anonymous]

You sound mean to me

[Asker]

Waking up to hundreds of texts isn’t normal I’m not going to be plastered to my phone all day

[Opinion Owner]

Just text her when you feel like texting her she already knows you don’t have to get rid of her

[Asker]

She lives abroad in a different time zone i can't text at work and i dont want her sending texts late at jight when i need to get ready for work the next day
