What do you mean it is over? Can you clarify? You mean its been too long to ask about the movie?
It has been over a week. If you were to text W about the movie, it will appear as if you wanting to prolong the convo. If I were W, my reaction would be WTH??
I don't think Ive come across as smothering. Ive never contacted her. Ive ended all our conversations.
I am not saying that you've come across as smothering. I am using the example of texting W to ask about the movie now, it would come across as smothering. You don't want to inundate her with a bunch of texts.
I just feel in my gut that going dark only benefits for so long before I have to send out a feeler.
Going dark is not a strategy to elicit a response. Going dark is letting things settle and wait for the WAS to initiate contact. Why would you want to send out a "feeler"? A feeler for what purpose??
Sending out a feeler is vastly different from a breezy, light text with zero expectations attached to it. Sending out a feeler suggests an expectation.
You've read in the papers or heard about people sending out a feeler in which they expect some type of response. This is what I am getting the sense here from you, Thor. That could very well trip you up because you're not fully detached...yet.
