AIO: Guy got upset after I didn’t respond for 3.5 hours
A guy asked for my number on the bus, then messaged me late that night. I responded the next day, asking him to introduce himself properly instead of just sending an emoji.
I was at work while texting him, so when he told me his name, he didn’t really ask me anything back — he just spelled it out. I made a mental note to reply after work. Then I got his last message… and I was like, what?
Have men become super sensitive, or is it just me? I don’t agree with the idea that I should be immediately available and accessible every minute of the day, especially when I only just met this guy the day before.
I’ve noticed that as soon as you start messaging a man back, some feel entitled to your time without putting in any effort to earn it. This has been so noticeable with a lot of men that it really puts me off from continuing anything over and over again.
