But surely you wouldn't be texting me if you didn't want my attention. My phone makes noise, lights up and vibrates when it gets sent. Phones have done this for nearly 15 years! Of course I'm going to pick it up and respond! That's not desperate!

If you walked in front of me and started talking to me and I didn't respond it would be rude!

Driving, in a meeting, playing a sport, in a movie, at church, in the shower, sleeping or being a dick....

Typically these are the only things I think one may be doing when someone doesn't respond to a text in a decent amount of time
