It is simple. Texting is one of the most disconnected forms of communication. Its too easy to pull yourself away from everything as not real. At least on the phone there is a voice connected to a real person. With a text, there is nothing identifying the sender other then a number. Its hard to build trust, connections or anything on such an impersonal means of communication.
The only texting i do is handling addresses for meet ups and if someone is running late. I also dont accept cancling of plans over txt. People will flake if they can text, if you make them call you, they are much less likely to flake. I
The point of texting isn't to build trust or connection. The point is to set up a date. Build a connection when you're face to face.
