Told my bestfriend I like her, now i have no one.

Do you mean end sentences with "..." ?

I ask this girl i frequently text(her preferred method of communication) and she says it mean that there is more to the sentence. I interrupt it as a "but". Like "i want to go..." instead of saying "i want to go but" and just leaving the reason hanging.

Yeah the ellipsis, i think that is what it is called. She asked about it when we first started talking. It has always just been a habit, she did not think anything of it at first, i think. Now i am wondering if it has bothered her the entire time...

Maybe you should come up with a better reason for always ending with "..." than, "I don't know." If someone I talked to a lot always ended things with "..." I would be wondering the same thing. Won't a period do? In transcription we use "..." to indicate that there is a pause in the dictation. If your message is finished there is no reason to use "...".

She's not leaving you hanging when you txt her, she's probably just busy with other things. I get that a lot from people and I decided that's what it was, and I should just be busy with other things for when they just randomly stop talking.

I think the way you structure your sentences can make you seem indecisive in her eyes. It just seems like you have more to say but you don't for some reason. You know the saying, "Say what you mean and mean what you say"? That applies to text(written word) too.

It isn't a deal breaker but I remember I would tell people that I have tendencies to repeat phrases(i.e. I don't know., you know?), to avoid confusion. After a while those habits kinda get broken because you become mentally aware of every time you do it. Sometimes I switch different speech habits but a year or two later I rarely have them.

So i should try to stop doing the whole ellipsis thing? Alright, I really appreciate all the help and tips everyone has given me thanks a bunch, I have asked other people about this "dilemma", they have pretty much told me the same thing as what everyone has told me here. I just needed to hear it from people who are non biased. It may seem a bit stubborn, but i think i am going to try to change as much as i can to be attractive to her. I do not want her to go away. Or should i stay the same and maybe she will come through? Sorry if I seem like a bit of a "lost cause" for the whole moving on thing, though.

As foolish as it may seem to many I don't really see why people just don't use words as a means to communicate. I know I'm old school but people using a lot of the accepted texting symbols to take place of real words or phrases seem kind of lazy too me- it boggles my mind that communication has been so cheapened.

I don't like it much either. As someone who texts and types properly, I don't understand why it's so hard for others to do so. I find it hard to take someone serious when they start 2 type lyke dis.

There was a point in time where she couldnt text and all i did was call her. And we would just talk for hours. At first texting was fine but after that I could not talk to her without actually calling her. I grew used to it.
