Well when your dating someone maybe....but when you've only exchanged a couple of messages? I don't think its imperative for either party to stay in contact daily until you actually meet in person and there's some real in person chemistry and interest.
I agree that they both should be able to function without communicating for three days considering that they haven't even met, but I also agree that he could've found time to send her a short message. He just chose not to.

No LOL she's saying that because the OP agreed to contact the lady in question on a set time and instead contacted her 3 days later....

Going silent for three days may not lead to meeting in person.
TBH, I don't really understand how anyone is too busy to text for three days straight. Sure, you didn't have time during work hours, not unusual or unreasonable. I can also see not having the energy for a long conversation, but to not spare 10 seconds at all in 72 hours?
Message her to say what? He already said when he's not so busy he wants to go out with her, and he told her that. So what's the point in sending a bunch of superfluous messages?
"Really tired" to me means not wanting to go out or anything.
3 days of silence , when a message might take up 1 minute or less, means "not very interested".
You might get lucky and she won't know you weren't really busy and not just "too tired"

The OP did say what you said above, however he left it 3 days later than the time and date he originally said he would message her back
So liberty is asking why he couldn't or wouldn't message her in the 3 days... And she's right IMO as there is nothing to exhausting or tiresome from saying hello in quick message
My only fear for the OP is that she realises and thinks this.

This entire statement is nothing but assumption on your part.
If you have never worked, 12, 14, 16, or 18 hour days you would not know that really busy means
really busy and no time nor energy to do anything once off of work.
I used to go a few days without eating because I was so tired from that many hours at work.
I had enough energy to drive myself 3 miles home, take a shower and go to bed until it was time to get up, take a shower and go back to work.
OP: Be patient, you really do not know how one is going to interpret your delay in response however,
you did tell her about your schedule so give her more time to respond.
You have a 50/50 chance of a good reply and outcome.

Oh, don't even give me that ****.
For more years than you can count I worked 6 and 7 days a week with much over 8 hour days (owned our own business)and still found one or two minutes (and more) to do what was important to me.

When you work for someone you don't get to carve out time for yourself. I'm a supervisor now my days can be 8-12 hours. Combine with getting ready for a move, I've spent most of late August and September exhausted. Dating has been the furthest thing from my mind since I can barely keep my eyes open these days.

Okay, whatever you believe must be the truth.
