    I read the meaning as someone thinking it weird to text back immediately. That was the offense. As if you should play it cool and wait to respond.

    I personally respond quickly if I’m holding my phone and the message comes in, usually.

        Them, 13 Aug: Morning!

        You, 14 Aug: Morning! How are you?
        Them, 14 Aug: great since I get to talk to you 🙂. How are you?

        You, 15 Aug: Great for the same reason 🙂. Want to have dinner?
        Them, 15 Aug: love to, where and when?
        Them, 15 Aug: Where are we having dinner?
        Them, 15 Aug: missed 7 calls from Them.
        Them 15 Aug: I’m hungry, are you ok?
        Them, 15 Aug: I hope you’re ok, call me when you see this, no matter the time, I just need to know you’re ok

        You, 16 Aug: Morning, sorry, 24 hour rule. Dinner tonight?

      That’s dexter so it reads to me like anyone responding instantly is a serial killer.
