Meeting new friends is always on the plate!

Ya know, I have a BlackBerry and yes...it is with me nearly everywhere I go. But there are times when it's just not cool to be using it. A person has to know those boundaries if they expect to maintain good relationships.
And the irony is that she doesn't have time to get back to me. It must be exhausting having to check and re-check facebook, twitter, email, text, the picture someone just sent, that youtube video and so on.

If they are texting and answering calls from and to other people when they are with you, sound to me like your not that important or interesting to them. It may be a hint!

Yes, I know. I think to be interesting I need to be an A hole. But I won't go there.

Also, I don't think most people wouldn't be interesting enough. And sitting there having dinner with someone on an I Phone is definetely not interesting for me.

I just realized I am too busy to text these people back now. Maybe I'll find some time when I'm on the toilet.
In the situation you described, it is indeed reasonable to expect them to reply sooner. Texts aren't meant for entire conversations anyhow. They should be able to get back to you within a few hours either way, but if they're checking their phones every few minutes (which, if you're in person with them, is very rude), then they should be able to answer. If I don't answer within 10 minutes, I'm either busy at work or I didn't hear it ping.

I had an ex boyfriend who would literally take a day or 2 to reply to my texts. So I started taking days to reply to his.

He changed his attitude after that.

It sucked because I lived back home in Boston and he worked in Rhode Island ( He was in the Coast Guard ) so it's not like we saw each other everyday.
