Phone calls create stronger bonds than text-based communications. Summary: New research suggests people too often opt to send email or text messages when a phone call is more likely to produce the feelings of connectedness they crave. But the phone call went much better than an email, researchers found.

Is texting the same as talking on the phone?

When we talk about texting, there is significantly less pressure to respond immediately. On the other hand, if you dont respond right away during a phone call, this could create „awkward silence“. One more significant difference is that while texting you cant hear the tone of voice of the person you are talking to.

Why does a guy text instead of call?

Its a sign that he doesnt feel awkward at the thought of talking to you all day and that actually hes excited about the prospect. A guy could text you 24/7 and still not feel serious about you, or he could just be so into you that the thought of calling makes him break out in a cold sweat.
