Why is texting so easy to communicate with but in person is filled with awkward silence sometimes?

Anonymous 1w

because you don't have to be shy over text and you can think about your response without it feeling like an awkward silence

Her and I have made it kinda clear that we like each other but we’re both very shy so our conversations are pretty silent at times. Yet we will text each other pretty much the whole day.

i literally have the opposite problem, such good chemistry in person but i just hate texting as a whole so much that it gets awkward

I mean I enjoy the texting because I’m at least talking to her but I’d much rather talk in person. What I’ve noticed works well is just coming up with random things to talk about or talking about events that happened throughout the day. What I forgot to mention is we’re both in the same small college so we hear about the same things

Also, maybe you could help here. The chemistry is pretty noticeable, I’ve taken her on a “date” (we didn’t label it a date when I presented the idea but I took her hiking and then out to dinner). She has also slept on my shoulder. I just feel the talking game isn’t good enough to where I’m confident to make a move

what do you feel like is missing from the conversations, depth or smoothness? because if it’s depth, that will show up when it needs to and if it’s ease of conversation you need to spend less time thinking about what you’re talking about and more time just letting the subject go where it wants to
