Common problem I have is seeming aloof but also not appear totally disinterested. I tend get feelings so in the beginning so I try to hide them the best I can.

I started talking to this girl and we really start to hit off. She was replying right way to my messages. I was doing my best to mirror her replies. She was sending pretty long messages so I was feeling pretty confident. We talked about or careers and interests etc.

When I was at work my reply times where pretty bad. My productivity is heavily monitored at work. As soon as lead comes in, I'm timed to see how soon I can contact the customer. My boss also barges into my office at random times so I'm very careful of my soundings when I text. Job can be quite hectic at times although it's a fantastic company. Anyways I'd text her and she'd reply right away and wouldn't get to it for at least an hour or 2. I told her that I was sorry and she didn't seem too bothered. We had a much when I got home I was able to reply much faster. We were able to have a decent conversation then she randomly left me on read. I assumed she was busy and I left her be.

The next day she sent me a selfi, I assumed it was a mass send so I didn't reply. I didn't feel like it wouldn't be polite either to double text her. The next day I figured I should post something interesting on my snap story. It was a video of me playing guitar from a few months ago. I had been working on the riff for quite some time. I waited unit she looked at and an additional 4 hours to text her. It's been 5 hours and she still hasn't opened it.

It might be due to uncontrollable circumstances but, how do have a better balance?
