Contrary to what my parents might think, I'm not a very big phone person. I would much rather talk to someone in person than through a pink piece of plastic suctioned to my face.
So, I never minded much that my past boyfs didn't provide me with the traditional goodnight phone call. In fact, I liked it. I was able to do whatever I wanted to do before bed - paint my toenails, watch SATC re-runs, catch up on reading - without having to say "hold on" while I took a minute to brush my teeth.
Now, though, I'm talking to someone who is all about pre-bedtime communication. He either calls or texts me before he goes to sleep each night - & I'm starting to get a little attached to it.
Do you get a goodnight phone call/text? If so, how important is it to you? What do you like about it? Or dislike?

I liked it, but it doesn't happen anymore.
Oh I love it. My ex and I used to talk after 12 and just talk for hours before saying goodnight. Partly, it's the only time I sort of have to myself without my family being able to listen to my conversation. I think too, that it's nice because you can fully talk about your day up to the point you start talking to the other person, which would be your whole day.
i think it's sweet. i really miss those late ones. gave me a smile wen i went to sleep and still had that smile when i woke up...*sigh*
I wish there were someone who thought enough of me to want to give me a good night text or call.
I sometimes do. And I think it's really sweet, as long as it's not EVERY night.
I looove it. When my boyfriend and I are at college, right before curfew (which is at 11), he would come right outside the dorm (guys aren't allowed to go in AT ALL), and we would meet up and he would kiss me goodnight
Sometimes, he would surprise me and go to my window and knock- he did that when I was in bed because of my ACL surgery. I get so excited just talking about it! haha <3
Nah, we usually say it when it gets to be late & when we don't think we're going to talk again before we actually go to sleep.
@joycemiles@xanga - Yikes, your college sounds strict. My boyfriend slept in my bed every night at college, haha.
It's very sweet ... makes me smile.
well im very attached to it, because, well he and I have been attached to the hip - even in long distance relationship. If nothing else, I call and say "just calling to say I love you" he says "i love you too" and weboth say goodnight...and its just a peaceful way to go to sleep. =)
me and my boyfriend usually webcam. but every morning we send each other a text when we wake up =)
I think a goodnight text is cute. Good morning texts are even cuter, they put a smile on my face for the whole day. It can break your heart a little each day though, when the relationship ends, and you no longer get that phonecall/text at night before bed..
I like the goodnight phone call. It's especially important to me since I'm in a LDR so we don't see each other during the day --the goodnight phone call is a way to check in with the other person, talk a bit about your day, let them know you're thinking of them, etc. If I were in a more conventional relationship though, I don't know if I'd put as much emphasis on it.
i call my girlfriend every night for an hour, either longer or shorter depending on what's going on. neither of us are sure when it started, but when she goes to her friend's house and there's no goodnight call, it's like part of me is missing. i hate it. i can't sleep soundly without talking to her at night.
it was so awful when i lived in a dorm because there was literally no reception inside so my calls would get dropped every single night, usually multiple times. it was awful but we weathered through because we love each other and really thick walls will never come between us.
I like it, as long as it doesn't turn into one long huge pointless conversation when I would rather be sleeping. A text usually suffices, if anything.
I didn't have a phone when I dated my first boyfriend. My second boyfriend did it all the time and it irritated me a lot...but I also didn't like him very much. I'm not sure how I would feel about it with a guy I was actually into. I would probably like it, I guess.
I miss those :(
I find it cute :) I looove it :)
i love it. i don't sleep too well without a call from him. i think it's just his sexy voice that comforts me and makes me sleepy. :)
xo
My boy's mom is a control freak, so he has to put his phone up at 1030 on non-school nights and 10 on school nights. Which is so going to suck when I leave for school and I'm an hour behind him. Anyways, he always calls before he puts it up. Super cute =)
@steph - yeaah :-/ What I wouldn't give to have freedom like you do! haha
Yep, I get good night calls, and I love them...they're incredibly sweet, and I miss my guy on the nights when we don't talk. A bit sentimental I know, but hey...
I love it, unless you JUST saw each other--that can get a little excessive.
I don't like good night phone calls. Especially when I've hung out with the girl that day already. I can see it being nice when I don't see the girl.
I can see good night texts being very good. Nice and short for those days when we've already hung out or if I have to sleep early or am really tired. Too bad I've totally turned off my texts!!! I think I will invest in texts now though ;P
hahaha yessss. it was like i was lookig forward to it or waiting for it. even though we just spoke hrs ago....i still need that alright going to sleep now. night baby. talk to you tomorrow.
its sweet :)
