    Can't deal with that,, most especially when the conversation lacks reciprocality. Like she only gives a single wordy response without initiating.

    honesty, sometimes i reply in my head and totally forget.

    But if it is someone i like i will space it out so i don't seem to needy. Depending on the subject of text i will change up my response times to keep them guessing.
