Is there a lamer excuse for lagged text/response write backs?

At what point do you let them know you've had enough of their nonsense? I'm at strike one with this girl who wanted to meet up the other night, but totally ignored my message yesterday.

Well whoever else she was talking to must have said the wrong thing because now I've got her attention again. But it really annoys me the simple ways women try to talk around being disrespectful.

Do I give this time a pass? She has only done it once, but it pisses me off because now she expects me to proceed believing she's just oblivious to messages people write her.

Some people have other things to do that don't involve you
I used to think this. But come on Calypso (you're a really genuinely nice poster and I don't want to be disrespectful to you) that is a load of BS. People are ****ing glued to their phones. Im supposed to be working right now and I'm talking to you on my phone. Most people are not just unaware someone is reaching out to them like many women claim.

Right. And I know that, so why bother covering up with some weak, intelligence insulting lie? It just makes me leery about continuing to engage.

Lots of men are fine with being lied to because "that's part of the game" but since I over analyze EVERYTHING it's a problem for me.

You dont tell, show. How she treats you indicates her interest level. Bringing it up is some whiny shit. She couldve genuinely busy But most likely she was figuring out priorities for that evening, and you werent at the top. But again, most people are near their phones, and usually are a bit more attentive when theyre trying to meet with someone.

Nailed it.

Yeah? What about the other opposite women try to claim?

"There are people on this app I signed up for sending me messages?! You mean the guy I talked to yesterday sent me messages TODAY??? Why do they not teach us this in school?!"

Should come with a baked in followup on their part.

Like, if you asked if they were free Monday (on Sunday) and they just-so-happen to forget to reply until Tuesday, unless they immediately have something like "I'm good Wednesday onward" or some other semblance of reciprocity, you're good to withdraw and move on.

The more likely scenario is she saw it when she was actually busy, but then just forgot to reply -- which happens to all of us.

It could just be she saw it, meant to reply but got distracted and forgot. Happens more than you think and easier to just say "didn't see the message"

She didn't offer to make follow up plans or reschedule, but she gave me her phone number and said to feel free to call/text her.

Sounds like she doesn't want to hang out or date or whatever. Just leave her be, on to the next one.

I guess for me it would depend on how easy it would actually be for her to miss your message: is this in a dating app or some type of messaging app like signal or kik or WhatsApp, or whatever? Or was this an actual text? Because if its through an app, Ill often ignore notifications from apps, and sometimes Ill even turn notifications off for those completely. I could imagine if shes a girl on a dating app shes probably getting flooded with messages (whether shes responding to any of them or not) so it would be much more reasonable for her to lose your message in the shuffle. These would be understandable to me.

A text message, on the other hand, I wouldnt miss. I might not respond right away, or I might forget to respond until later - or in extreme cases I might forget to respond for so long that I then feel guilty and simply dont text that person again until they send me another text I can respond to. You know, like a normal, functioning adult.

Ahhh. If y'all are talking via app and she has notifications turned off (understandably so) there's some plausible deniability. And her giving number is a semblance of payback to prevent this again (maybe).

I wouldn't bail just yet; use her phone number and make some light conversation followed by scheduling a meetup and go from there. Don't get too invested as it's like 50/50 on that meetup actually happening.

As many have figured out, obviously I was talking to her through my phone on a dating app just like I am talking to all of you on my phone through GameFAQs. This is confusing to you?

She gave me her number on the app just now.

So let's take this example to its next logical level.

When I just posted this, just now, at roughly 2:11 PM eastern time in Gamefaqs... did your phone send you a notification informing you that I posted?

Or are you "just now seeing this" like five minutes into the future?

I'm not going to humor anymore of your mean spirited line of questioning. I came here for advice, not to be judged, berated and looked down upon from another poster on CE.

If thats the case then youre probably overreacting/overanalyzing. Its perfectly reasonable imo for someone to not have notifications on for a dating app, even moreso if they are a girl.
