Have you ever intentionally delayed texting back someone because you didn't want to seem desperate?

[Still-alive]

I'm not saying that it is desperate just that some people may feel or view it as such. Regardless is that a thing people here have done?

Yes i have intentionally delayed texting someone back quickly so as not to appear desperate

No i have never done that

Depends who is writing, obvi.

• Usually if I'm busy I'll not see it till later
• Sometimes I need space to think what to say
• Sometimes the person's been a jerk so leave it on "delivered" a while till i have time to take a deep breath and answer.

No, but texting wasn't a thing when I was young, free, and single.
