I'm 12 and I'm dating a boy from my class who is really nice. But he is constantly texting me. While I really like him, I don’t want to spend this much time texting anyone. What do you think?

While I really like him, I don’t want to spend this much time texting ANYONE. Plus, our conversations are getting boring because neither of us has anything more to say. Abby, I feel guilty for not being able to keep up the conversations.

He often texts in the middle of an activity like going to the beach or flying a kite, and actually apologizes for going into the water and stopping the I can’t spend that much time in contact because I have other things in my life.
