So I've noticed recently that most of the time, when I'm texting girls (and I use it as a form of communication as well as scheduling dates since over summer breaks I can't see these girls), I initiate the conversation. A couple of times I've decided to just wait and see if they would text me first, but when after a couple days they didn't, I asked why, and a couple of them have said this:

"I figured you were busy and didn't want to be bothered."

Is this something to do with my personality? Is it off-putting? Can/should I change it?
