Met a girl last week, we went on a date and we both had a great time. After the first date, I contacted her and I asked her to please be honest with me and tell me if she wanted to see me again.
She said YES, then last night, she sent me a text that read "We should meet again soon!". Ok, no problem!
I replied to her text at 5:30 pm last night, telling her to please, let me know at least one day ahead of time when she wanted to meet again and how her day was.
She sends me a reply today!, almost 24 hours later, stating that her day was busy and asking me if I wanted to have a second date on October 6th. What the hell? I have not replied!
Honestly, I don't understand why people act this way, it is like, if you are not interested, tell me you are not, yet, she acts like she is interested but is it really hard to send me a text in a 24 hour period? I can send someone a text in less than 20 seconds!!!
I don't really want to act like a jerk yet because we had a good time, but I don't understand her at all. Any ideas?
I really don't know what's wrong with people who stare at their phones 24/7 and expect everybody else to do so.
24 hours?! Out of those 24 hours she slept for about 8! And she replied waaaayy before the suggested date. There IS somebody crazy here, but it's not her!

What IS the problem??
She set a date for the second date.
Why are you in such a rush and why do you need such instant attention back from her? You are going to scare her away acting like she did something wrong when she didn't.
There are many times I don't respond to texts, voicemails, or emails for over 24 hours (unless it's of the utmost importance!). Sometimes I just don't feel like it. Other times, I'm busy. Not a big deal. I'm not tied to my electronic universe 24/7.
As for Oct 6th? It's only a week and a half away! And YOU'RE the one who made the statement that you need at least a day's notice for a date. How do you know she's not working? going away? has other plans? working on a project for school/work? Has a life perhaps??????
Get over it. If you want the Oct 6th date, go and enjoy. If not, tell her you can't make it.

Dude, get a grip!
I am in no rush, my point is, it does not matter how busy I am, It only takes me about 20 seconds to reply to a text, I can do it when I am in the restroom, or pretty much anywhere, even before going to bed.
I understand people are different but I don't get texting someone 24 hours later to answer a question that was answered the day before.
I am not going to say anything negative to her, because like I said, I don't know her well YET, and we had a very good first date but I really don't understand taking over a day to reply to a text, I guess, we are just VERY different people!

Agreed! And there are times that *gasp* I don't have my phone with me, so don't see the text until much later. Did not know there was a 24-hour "statute of limitations" on replying to a text.

Alright in my experience and im gonna seem like an ******* for saying this unfortunately......she's dating around in that time frame between now and october 6th. The best thing to do is reply with a simple ok, nothing more nothing less. DO NOT contact her in between, and if you can you go out with other people as well

She might have a busy life too and was trying to clear a day on her calendar before she contacted you, this way she could give you a "yes" and a time/date.
I rarely repsond to texts and/or e-mails immediately. I don't wear my phone on my hip either so if I haven't made a call, chances are I haven't seen the new texts that have come in.
And...just a side note. I was watching Dr. Oz and he took a womans purse and tested the contents for bacteria. The cell phone cover was filled with nasty bacteria. If you are taking that thing into the bathroom and sitting on the crapper responding to texts, I HOPE you are sanitizing the phone afterwards!

Unfortunately the OP probably thinks this way:
What is wrong with people who don't stare at their phone 24/7 and reply in 20 seconds flat!
Geez! I would have no friends if I had to meet that criteria. Sometimes my phone battery dies without knowing about it and I just think to myself, eh, nobody wants to talk today. I don't look at it wondering why nobody called or texted.
