When I was dating, I did it without apology or remorse. I learned pretty quickly that people will ARGUE with you if you say no you don't want to go out with them. Call you names. All kinds of nonsense. What difference does it make WHY I don't want to go out with you? I don't need a why NOT to go out with someone. I need a why TO go out with someone.
First date was already set. I hate it when people waste my time.
yea i met a pretty awesome guy recently. he was texting and calling often the first week then he just randomly stopped talking to me. i'm sure there's a reason but i'll probably never know. oh well. its annoying but easy come, easy go, right? try to move on and not get too bent out of shape about it.
Why is it so hard to respond to voice messages, email or texts when it only takes 30 seconds?
I guess pulling a disappearing act is what is hot in the streets.
Some people schedule their email answering for a certain time of day: first thing in the morning, or after work in the evening. I don't even check my voice messages daily, depending on how much I have going on.
But this raises a related question. How about people who only respond selectively to points in an email between friends? I have friends who live out of state, so we email news to each other, and chat by email instead of phone. But there are a couple of people who ignore most of the email, and only respond to one point out of three. Is that rude, or is that just a sign of a busy person?
If they don't get back to me that day, then I wonder, unless I leave a message in the evening. Then I give it until the same time next day before I wonder. But not before. I happen to think that the demand for instant gratification has become a serious problem. People need to chill out. No text message is so important that someone should have to drop what they're doing to respond. As far as I'm concerned, texts are just social clutter, not social contract like a call or a live discussion.
If something is important, call, and if you get voicemail, explain the purpose of your call. Otherwise, deal with the fact that I am probably working or in the middle of something else.
And stalking someone's FB page to see if they've updated since your text is silly. Honestly, rein in the ego, please. Or maybe find something to do with your time, yourself.
There were times(especially when I was younger) where I wanted to respond quicker but I didn't want to appear thirsty or desperate. Its not at the same level, but i still have that same mentality with women I'm interested in.

If that person was busy why did they respond to one point? They took the time to read the emails. It's possible that the person wasn't interested.
It's funny how I appeared thirsty or have an ego when I want some basic communication. You have people complaining about "how my boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband/partner just don't talk to me anymore" or "spend too much time tweeting".
Is that way we are going? do I need to schedule an appointment with your secretary in order to have some facetime with you?

That sucks but I wouldn't get too bent out of shape. It's when they do it after a few weeks or months of dating that I get really pissed off. Most people lack basic social skills and common courtesy.
