When applying dread over text;

Should I eventually open it to leave a read-receipt for them to see, or is it better to just not have a read-receipt so that they don't know if I cared to...

OK...

So...

Dread is only for SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS where there's something wrong, but for whatever powerful reason you refuse to next the bitch and walk away.

AKA you're married, don't want a divorce rape, kids "welfare" is somehow more important than your own, you want martyrdom... etc.

So dread is not something you apply to a casual relationship intentionally.

Secondly... texting is not a rich communication medium, nuance is nonexistent because all the subtle clues of nonverbal communication are impossible. That why texting only for logistics is recommended... too much chance of miscommunication and shooting yourself in your own dick.

So, your question... great example.. Does she think you left "read" on on purpose or are fucking with her or are just a busy guy with many options or are following the advice of a bunch of guys on Reddit or.....

Flip it... what would you think the differential would be if she left you on "read"? Lot of opportunities for the "perception is projection" argument.

NO way to know, so your question is useless and asinine and shows you haven't read anything over on the sidebar about how to actually deal with women... you just wanted a cheat code answer to your specific issue.

Doesn't work like that.
