Still rather new to this and the pill is slowly painfully working its way down my throat. The following question makes that obvious.

My status: one and a half plates (the half has only given me a BJ so far), seeing two others which I'm likely to bed at least one of them next time I see them. Still picking up prospects just to keep abundance alive.

Chick texts at 9am and I respond two hours later because I'm working, and she doesn't write back at all.

Next day (today), I ask her where she went, and she says "HI, I never really know how much to text especially when someone is at work and I know you were working yesterday. Working today?"

I want to tell her one of several things but they all seem like losing frame, and I don't think ignoring her at this point makes sense. This question has the undercurrent of how to deal with game questions that come up.

• I can manage my own time just fine, but thanks for the consideration
• if I'm too busy to respond you'll know
• aren't we past obsessing over rules? (I realize the irony of this one hahah)
• you're fine as long as you don't go psycho wall-of-text on me
• when I wrote you I was counterintuitively hoping you wouldn't write back

Thanks brothers!
