Do I need to find out something later and reply with that? Will I forget to text them after I find out the answer since it's been a few hours already? All things considered, I try to answer as quickly as possible. So, if I'm holding my phone and it's someone I actually don't mind talking to, my replies will be instant.
If not, then who knows when I'll reply. My life doesn't revolve around my phone. I don't always run around with a phone. If I just started talking to a girl, I might wait minutes so I don't seem overly eager. Was that my phone? Did you drop your phone in the toilet?
According to Dr. But not everyone is paying that much attention to their phone or the timing of your texts. This kind of perspective makes sense. People do get busy and life can get in the way.
Evidently, not everyone has the same take on a texter who takes a while to respond. I have a friend who always thinks this means the girl's not interested in him, though.
Not hearing back right away is not always about you. For a lot of people, their texting time has more to do with the topic of conversation than their level of interest in you. If we're making plans, I'll respond immediately.

Then I look through all my previous text messages and analyze them with a fine-toothed comb, wondering what I might have said or done wrong. After that, I think about whether any of my behaviors might have annoyed her. Most of the time, though, she texts back after a few minutes and everything is fine. I almost have a heart attack when the bubbles appear and then disappear again.
