I think sometimes changing things up is a good reason to act. But to each their own.

The texts weren't negative and they weren't positive, pretty neutral. Not disappointing, not exciting. I'll post it roughly here, I deleted them right away... though I did ask questions (I didn't think about the impact of that until I saw Flights message).

ME (8:30PM): How goes? (my typical speak)
HER (9:30 AM): Hey...how are you??
(I am going to assume that the lag was just because she had bad cell service. I kid, I kid....)
ME(4:00 PM): I'm good, I'm good... just got told I have to go to Taiwan next month... ugh... anyway... I was just wondering how you are doing since we haven't talked in a while.
(I had to say something to make it seem more normal and that was the first thing that came to mind)
HER: UGH.... that [censored]!!... i'm doing ok.

That's it... I left it at that.
