I know I just posted, but how much does texting interest really play a part in a future situationship, and do I have to be engaging all the time? I’m texting someone who’s been weirdly on and off with me, but we had a great first date. She’s home for the holidays and so am I. I texted her after going back and forth. I assumed she tested me by waiting 3 days to reply. I waited one day, and she responded immediately, and I responded 7 minutes after. Still no reply, but it was a neutral convo because I wasn’t feeling like flirting.
