If you are single and actively dating, a large part of your communication will be via texts and apps. In the beginning, this seems exciting. You keep looking at your phone to see if you have received a response. But when you do receive a text back, you look disappointed. Because unfortunately, men are not very original when it comes to texting.
Single women get an awful lot of annoying texts from men. We tell each other how crazy it drives us, that we don’t know what to say, or how to respond in the best possible way. It sometimes seems like men are trying to get the most out of the can with minimal effort.

There are those messages that almost every single woman has received from a man (or boy). As frustrating as it can be to be the recipient, men keep trying with these boring, colorless messages. We give you 10 of those examples that every woman recognizes.
1. ‘Good morning beautiful’
Of course it can be nice to receive such a good morning message in the morning , but if you get it every day? Then it quickly gets boring. It is a typical message that guys who think about you a lot send, but in the meantime they forget that it should also remain fun. A message like that once can secretly make girls melt a little. But exactly the same message every day? Preferably not.

2. ‘Everything okay?’
This message is one of those messages that men always send when they want to get back into the picture . They don’t send it because they are very interested in you and actually want to know if you are doing well, but rather to indicate that they have time for you and want attention themselves. If you respond with ‘Good and you?’, then the flirting can start.
3. ‘Send a photo’
You finally have a good conversation with a guy and he asks for a picture again. Annoying. Very annoying. You know he doesn’t want a picture of you in a long dress or fully dressed; he wants a sexy selfie . Why do men do this? Because they are interested in you, attracted to you, and because they are visual creatures.
4. ‘Still awake?’
A text that a lot of men send late at night? Or are you still awake. And you can be pretty sure that he doesn’t want to have conversations with you late at night. He is looking for a late night booty call . This guy might be drunk, bored or just wants to be entertained. It is best not to respond if you don’t feel like it, because the chances are that it will not remain a text at that point.

5. ‘Any plans for tonight?’
This text is a bit like the previous message. When he asks this, he is actually hoping that you don’t have any plans. He is hoping that he can be the savior of your evening. He wants to meet you at the last minute and then probably not for a very romantic date, but more for an exciting night at your place or his .
6. Dickpic
Since smartphones have existed and men have the ability to take pictures with their phones, there is one object that they love to capture on film. The dick pic has become an indispensable part of the average man’s app arsenal. What they don’t seem to realize is that receiving such a photo without asking can be shocking. Hardly any woman is waiting for it. And that while men think that they will get a nude photo back from a woman faster.
7. Why are you still single?
If he asks you why you’re still single , he probably thinks it’s a compliment. “How can such a beautiful, smart, and amazing woman still be single?” It’s actually a pretty insulting comment to send. Why wouldn’t you be single? Maybe you love being single and enjoy it immensely. Your worth doesn’t depend on a man’s attention. And it also implies that there’s something wrong with you.

8. ‘I’ll text you later’
And then you don’t hear from him anymore. Unfortunately, this is also a text message that everyone has received at some point. Of course, this can just be a logical message when a guy is busy. And if he is a mannered type, then he will indeed send you a message later. If he is not, then there is a big chance that he will disappear completely from the radar for a long time and will not send you anything at all.
9. ‘I’ll let you know’
You’ve put on the brave face and full of courage you ask him the question you’ve been wanting to ask him for days: “Do you want to do something fun on Friday?” The answer: “I’ll let you know.” It’s an extremely annoying answer, because you made yourself vulnerable. And he dismisses it as if it’s not a priority. In fact: if he really wanted to meet up with you, he would take the initiative himself or enthusiastically accept your plans. But he doesn’t.
10. ‘Okay’
While some men hold back from slacking off on the texting early on in the dating process, there are plenty of men who quickly adopt the male texting routine. You ask how his day was, tell him about special moments you experienced and how you felt about them. And what does he say? “Okay.” While you want to share everything with him, he sticks to “Okay.” This text isn’t lazy, it’s confusing.

11. Nothing at all
The response no woman wants to receive: no response at all. All of the above messages can be annoying to receive, but not receiving anything at all is the worst of them all. Especially when he asks you a question, you respond and ask him a question, and then he doesn’t respond at all. The read receipts tell you that he’s been online AND that he got your message. But he doesn’t even bother to respond to your text for a second. Men…
