Meanwhile, in the OP's world, he has her number already, I'm guessing he's texted her in the past as he says the talk and he had no problem just texting her this time, and he probably knows whether she is the type to carry the phone around all day, since they already know eachother well.
He can't know yet. He's going to have to wait and see. But with this reaction to only a few hours of "no" response, the OP is kind of flippin'...insulting her on an internet forum, the cat lady dealio, he's asking strangers what's up...either a) she is usually on her phone all day and he knows this so that's why he's freaking already, or b) he's totally desperate, in which case, well, let's not point fingers, OP.
On my phone, I can tell when someone has read one of my texts. It'll say 'seen'. So maybe he DOES know she's seen the text, and wondering why she hasn't responded yet.
Frankly, if the situation was reversed, and I'd asked a guy out, and I KNOW he got the text, I guess I'd wonder too why he hadn't responded.
But hopefully I wouldn't turn around and speak of the hot guy is such a disdainful way as OP has done.
I mean, OP, you do kind of sound like "Well screw her if she doesn't recognize I was going to do her a favor, and bang her."
I'm not reporting her cats, it's none of my business.
I think it got "blown out of proportion" because you just happened to mention the rather random and unrelated fact that your apartment complex only allows two cats?

Yeah, but timber, we all know your friends come from some parallel universe where almost nothing is like the so-called norm because SO many times you have "never seen" the behavior to which the rest of us testify.
I know not everyone is on their phones 24/7. That's why I used the very unscientific 8/10 estimate.

Well, just the title of this thread is already telling a lot about the OP. It sounds nasty and promises a juicy story.
I think y'all think everyone is on their phones all the time. Not everyone is, I know more than a few people that keep their personal phones off during the work day (they have work phones). And even more that even though they have it on, they aren't responding to texts. Or they're in areas with no cell coverage, that happens to me weekly, and I'm in a pretty densely settled (perhaps the most densely settled) state.
A lot of people who are single and don't expect texts during the day or long time married people who don't text much during the day do not look at their phones during work.
Dating people or professionals who need their phone, or social media addcits do use their phone 24/7..
But I know plenty of nurses, teachers, and construction people who do not touch their phone during the day.
You are either not smart trying to go out with a b*tching whiner or your description it isn't true. Sounds like you are just bitter because you got rejected.
Yes, she was neither of these things, NOR a cat lady, when he had a chance with her. That's middle school "well I never liked you anyway!" crap.
Come on, OP, I am sure you are more mature than this, or at least strive to be. You can be a better man than that.
She's pretty hot and we get along well when we see each-other in the parking lot. However, there is not 1 fb picture with her and a man. Oftentimes, in most photos she is the only single one in the group.
Maybe she's asexual or has mental issues or something.
Long story short, I had a real thing for a 36-yo attractive women living in my complex who has never been married but has managed to sneak in 4 or 5 cats into her apartment. Anyway, in her fb postings she's always b*tching about how lonely she is and how she wants to cry every-time she ovulates. The weird part is that she is actually quite attractive and takes good care of herself.
Now when we've seen each-other we've always managed to hit it off well and I've always been fairly open in my flirting that she seems to respond to fairly well. I texted her over the phone today asking if I could take her out, but never got anything back. Not a simple no thank you or nothing.
I suppose in the long run it makes for a good story, getting rejected by some single cat lady.
You sound butthurt to me. Why are you texting her when you talk to her in person? Sometimes people will miss a text or forget they recieved it. It's not like we're people that sit around sniffing roses with nothing better to do.
She could. Or she could not be looking at her phone at all. Or she could reply later on. Not everyone replies to stuff instantly.
Chill down. Day isn’t over yet. I am a teacher and go the whole workday without looking at my phone some days. There is no time.
The expectation of instant response baffles me here.
