+1 Sagi
But for me, it's just rude, I never drop off of a text suddenly. Why? Again, it's rude and I don't want anyone doing it to me, if it happens that the person I'm communicating with drops more than once I just stop text messaging altogether forever.
I do not communicate during the dating phase either via text, no no no, just won't do it, it's encouraging laziness, men get lazy, distracted and bored when they don't have to pick up the phone and make an effort.

LOL Oh Sagi I wasn't saying you're rude, please don't take it that way.
When I met my husband I would not use text, social media, email to communicate unless it was an emergency, he did not like it at first, no he hated it lol but later he admitted he grew closer to me because of it.
I used to text all the time especially a man I was dating but I recognized how things just went downhill communication wise, also noticed how using technology encourages a man to be superficial thus I decided I wouldn't use social media, text, email to talk to a man I'm interested in and it worked for me, it may not work for others though.
I remember how shitty I would feel when I'm being dropped, it feels like I'm not important enough. Wouldn't any woman feel that way though? I dunno I just don't like it lol.

When I do it; it's probably cause the text ended with a sentence from the other person that requires no answer, or they ended with an "Ok." And I leave it at that.

Yep I do this...most times I feel it's because the conversation has come to a natural end and there isn't anything more to say on the matter so I trail off; other times the person in question may go on a subject I'm not interested or I get bored so I trail off or something new and exciting has come on the scene so I trail off.
With some people I have to make my excuses to stop the convo there and then, because they take offence but with the Aqua I was seeing he got it and vice-versa. We would just pick up conversations days/weeks later. It was never an issue or seen as a disrespect on both parts.
Along with my flakiness this is also something I could work on, but I really don't like doing the texting thing anyway. I prefer to speak face-to-face.

Question for you guys that say this happens to you. What exactly is this mid text stopping? I will texts friends, we chat for a few, catch up, discuss plans or make plans. Conversation has run its course. Isn't the texting going to stop? Or do you ask your aqua friend a question and no response? I text my friends but I don't keep texting for hours an hours. A conversation does end at some point. Or is it more of they don't even say "hey gotta go, catch u later"? I'm asking cause I don't tell my friends I gotta go and they are the same with me. Do you guys tell them when it's time for you to stop texting? Maybe they stop because you stopped. Two way street with texting.

Say you and I start texting, we send a couple messages to and from each other, then you ask me a question, and I don't respond.
That's what is meant by stop texting mid-conversation.click to expand

I know this is an aquarius thing. I know I've seen a lot of people complain about this trait. However, I'm used to it, it doesn't bother me and I don't take it personal, so I'm not complaining.
When it happens with us, I'll say something...no response....2 hrs/6 hrs/12 hrs later I get a text just like the conversation never stopped, picked up from where we left off. Or I'll get a text saying sorry, fell asleep or sorry phone rang and I forgot we were texting. It's become an ongoing joke between us and now when it happens I just laugh. Well, I'll be honest, sometimes it's irritating, but usually not a big deal. I'll either ignore it and go about my business or send another text back like 'Don't know where you went, but sleep well babe, talk to ya tomorrow'.
I'm just curious about reasons for it:
Is it:
Boredom with the conversation?
Falling asleep?
Interruptions?
Set your phone down and get distracted?
Phone rings and you forget you were texting?
Get busy and don't have time?
Someone comes over?
I've seen (and done) all of the above, just wonder what your viewpoints are. Thought it might be an interesting and fun conversation.

I kinda feel like if this is the case, then it prevents you from moving on. Best to ignore and keep moving on.
My feelings are if someone isn't into keeping in touch or lazy about responding, they're not worth the time. A person who doesn't respond isn't worthy of your attention. There are a lot of other people out there who would be happy to have your attention. I see it as a weeding out process.
I had a guy, a virgo, not respond for two weeks (we hadn't been talking or dating long), then I went out with another guy and found my aqua. The previous guy was begging for my attention, but it was too late. I found out later that the virgo is a player and pretty much labeled an alocholic around town. So glad I didn't waste any time with him!!!!click to expand

Thanks, Angeleyes!! He still frustrates me sometimes, but he's proven through his actions he's a keeper and he treats me well and spoils me!
truecap,
I read this and I smiled and I thought, "he will, most likely, always frustrate you." :-p

He makes it clear that our relationship is not all about sex. He cooks me dinner, he opens doors, he offers a hand when I'm getting up from sitting, he contacts me every day, he fixes things at my house that I didn't even realize needed fixing, he invites me out with his family and to his family functions, he holds my hand in public, he gives me gifts for no reason, he does what he says he will do, he joins me to my family events, he listens when I talk, etc. The main thing that shows me his love is when I bring up an issue that bothers me or tell him I'd like more of a certain action, he makes an obvious effort to make me happy. The effort is golden!!
