Communication Ettiquette-Text Messaging

D2, for whatever reason, has been texting me. So this communication exchange isn't totally out of the blue. All this is via text msg:

On 8/18; D2: This is [D2]. Busy?; On 8/19; Me: Yes.
On 8/21; D2: Busy?; Me: Not really; D2: How have you been? I am completely bored, although I realize it's not sexy to say that.; D2: You wrote you're not busy, but you're not replying. Am I missing something here because that makes no sense to me.; D2: You're not busy, but you don't want to chat. Am I that uninteresting? D2: And if you don't want to chat, why wouldn't you just say you don't want to chat?
Me: Im not busy but dont like text chat. Its late. I dont like pointless chat. This took took long to write. Am very annoyed right [now]. You asked. Dont mean to be rude.

D2: Not rude at all. That is all I ever expect from anybody. An honest and straightforward answer. That was the nicest thing you could have done for me. D2: Sorry if I annoyed you. I can't read minds though. If you don't like texts, why don't you just say so? D2: Anyway, thank you for taking the time to respond. Just be honest though. It is never rude to be honest. D2: Good night and I won't text you to have long conversations anymore. Good night.

I'm amazed that my tell 'em straight-out hasn't gotten me in trouble. Mostly it's been appreciated (at least what they tell me). Now, why is it so hard to understand that not everyone prefers texting as a first means of communication? I've reached the point where I like email because I can type fast. Maybe if I got as fast at texting, I'd feel the same way. But as it is, it takes me really long to compose a sentence, so I don't like it. Bottom line, why can't guys just get it...texting is not an appropriate means of communication until it's been approved. Pick up the phone!! (not that i'm interested, and honestly at this point, I am considering demoting D2 from the friends list)
