#brunchtalk: Why do they text but never ask me on a date?

We've all been there before: the person we're interested in is texting us yet they won't bite the bullet and make actual plans. For this week’s brunch talk, we're chatting about how to handle the situation when you want a partner, not a pen pal. We discuss why people continuously text when they have no intention of ever meeting up, how to be more direct about wanting plans, and ways to "break up" when you were never really dating in the first place.
