I’ve been texting this guy back and forth for a few weeks now. I enjoy texting him but the conversation moves so slowly. I will respond back to him within a few hours and he takes a day and sometimes two to respond back. This week I responded with a bland response because to me it seemed like maybe with the slow responses it means that he’s not interested in me. But, he responded to me with a question. Why does he want to keep the convo going if he takes SO long to respond?

He’s interested but thinks he has to play it cool

No.

Because you should talk in person. Texting should not be a substitute

If he doesn’t answer because he is busy ask him? Some jobs probably not many do not allow phones out but at certain times.
Ask him if he’d like to meet or video chat?or just if there’s a method he prefers, as some have said.
People prioritize what’s important to them.

Ask him!!

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?
