The introvert nerd in me likes texting more then phone calls for the most part, but it is getting a little ridiculous where people ask questions via text that can't be answered in a sentence: "How did the job interview go?", "How was your date?" Unless you just want a one word answer or don't really care, make a bloody telephone call.


Turn it around. They are making a non-interrupting request for you to tell them something about you; they are showing interest in you. It's for you to decide whether to call or not. They are, in effect, saying, "Call me, I want to know". That's what people who care about you do.
