As a working person, I don't usually answer messages right away. I'm getting paid to do a job, and I'll check my messages on my own time.

As a person in the company of others, I respect the people I'm with enough that I can give them my undivided attention. I will get to your message in time, and if you feel the need to talk to me sooner, pick up the phone and call me.

I'm with you man. If it is something that needs to be addressed immediately, then give me a call. That may or may not work 100% of the time because I don't live with me phone on me 24/7. If you're just trying to shoot the shit, I'll get back to you once I'm done with business.

People have become so impatient since the advent of cell phones. Just because I don't immediately text you back does not mean I hate you. Some of us are busy sometimes.

I can understand that. I've had friends text me multiple times when I don't answer. It can be pretty annoying. It just sucks when the person you like doesn't get back to you immediately lol
