I'm not being anything other than courteous, no relationship talk whatsoever I'm not the one texting her first...and I also have the last word..how can I go wrong? I'm not taking the bait as everything is okay and expanding our conversation past that...I'm guilty of neglect FULL fledged Neglect....why is it in the best interest to not respond/communicate in this way.
Because, you answered her right away, like you were hanging there, holding your phone, just HOPING she'd send you a text message.
Pursuing. Needy. Not attractive.
Better:
The next morning, write her back "Sorry -- just saw this. Hope you are doing well! -- MCL"
Let's face it, when we're in these sitches, our reasoning is usually FLAWED. That's why we need everyone else to help us with the counter-intuitive stuff.
