I take my time because I have a busy life and I'm not on my phone most of the day. I reply when I'm ready to reply. I am not going to reply just because some stranger has anxiety/control issues with texting. and I've found people who get upset at your lack of timely replies (in terms of hours/minutes) always always have massive control/anxiety problems. I'm not compatible with people who operate like that.
That's me exactly. Took my wife a long time to figure out that I'm not worshiping at my phone. Only reason I see half my texts is they pop on my PC.
Buddy of mine was dating this woman (we were all around 49) and he got a Sunday morning text. Decided to answer after church, then decided to eat first. LOL my god, this women comes police knocking on his door demanding an answer as to why he didn't reply. Then she storms off, "You don't care! You don't love me!"
"Dude. You sure she's our age and not a 15-yo in disguise?"
We're were talking days. Only a complete freak needs minute or hourly replies but if a person doesn't reply after days, don't bother with them.
