      <![CDATA[I hate the constant reassurance of the "lol" and emoticon thing, but I get that that's exactly what it is -- reassurance. When you're dating someone, especially early on, you may not have each other's tone down pat, especially over the pretty tone-deaf medium of texting, and by using those cues, he's probably trying to soften anything he fears you might misinterpret.<br>
<br>
Basically, you probably scare him, and judging by your reaction, that's probably not entirely unreasonable. <br>

      <![CDATA[Typical. <br>
<br>
I see her [overall] point about adults becoming more infantile - it's an argument i've been making for several years, now. And it's largely this sort of "adult baby" behavior that drove me to quite facebook recently.<br>
<br>
But i just don't see why she's heaping all of this on MEN. Clearly, women are every bit as guilty. Do all of her lady friends not text her in the same nauseating manner???

      <![CDATA[The 1st paragraph here is totally valid, the 2nd not so much. Seems like she's propping up her personal preferences with the social weight of questionable norms about what's appropriate behavior for hetero males. And since when do women want a guy they're dating to talk to them just like he would to his guy friends? And I'm pretty sure LOL goes back to the days of usenet, when Anon was still learning to write. <br>
But yes, the constant slang and abbreviations have annoyingly spread from the internet to other communication and gotten out of hand to the point that anyone under 40 who just speaks something like standard English can be seen as square or uptight. So it's understandable that people old enough for it to be unseemly go around saying "whatevs" "I'm so down with that" "chillax" etc. all the time.

      <![CDATA[so it's cool if gay men talk this way to each other?<br>
<br>
also, i hate to point out the obvious. but, using an anonymous forum on a weekly alternative newspaper's blog, is a bit juvenile.
