It's the little 'in between things'

Like when I send her a morning message and it takes her 4 hours to reply...

...yet she's been on WhatsApp MULTIPLE times within that 4 hour window. I don't think about it much but sometimes I do ask specific questions and it seems like an ignore (she's not actually reading the convo but she's definitely been on the app)

Or this is a normal thing that people do? I just thought I'd be given a bit more attention given our history. I don't even like texting to be honest but despite asking to see her in person again, it gets pushed and pushed. I mean, how long can a man wait?

Or did the Internet really ruin people's ability to communicate and connect?
Man you're playing the wrong game here, I appreciate your honesty though.

First, stop with the good morning texts, that shit is corny and annoying as fuck.

I hate it when a girl wants to do the good morning and good night texts all the time, get outta here with that garbage. My current GF used to do that with me, and I started to find it stressful, I eventually had to tell her "I'm not one of those guys, don't text me all day, I'm doing shit".

Seems to me you probably text her too often? I regularly take 4 hour gaps if not longer to respond to people, I do it all the time. The reason? I'm doing stuff, or I don't want to get caught into a back and forth conversation by text with timeframe obligations. Maybe she's the same way?

To build on this, you run into the folly of too many text messages, leading to nothing to fucking talk about. I don't care about what you ate today, I don't care about whatever stupid hobby or boring ass activity, or mundane meetup you had with *insert name friend*, that I don't even know.

When dating and someone texts you too much it can become stressful. You find yourself having to respond to a wall of text, a wall of questions, a wall of shit you don't feel like answering to. You also run out of things to talk about, and thus end up having to come up with more boring bullshit to converse about.

Keep it short and sweet, keep it brief and infrequent. Leave the the text convo's for actual meetups, that way you have way more to talk about, and it keeps a sense of mystery, you'll learn more about a person organically in person, then ever through text.
