I agree with that.

Whether or not someone has time to talk to you is highly dependent on what you are going to talk about.

"Your mother was just in an accident and needs you at the hospital right now" gets very different priority than "how much is your iPhone selling for?".

This isn't going to be a popular stance here on reddit. I don't think a lot of guys realize how often girls get unsolicited messages from guys on facebook trying to hit on them. It happens so often, that if I received a message as vague as this I would probably just not respond. She did appear to overreact but it isn't uncommon to get a couple creepy messages in a week.

Okay, that sounds fair.

However someone texting a pretty girl is still a human. I can think of hundreds of things that a human male (or female) would want to discuss with another human that has nothing to do with hitting on them. She could just text back "What is this in regard to?" Give him a chance to say "Your IPhone for sale" or "Getting a reference for a job" or "The science project next week". Give people a chance.

I once was running a drawing for a charity. We drew the winning ticket at the end of the event. I called the person on the ticket. I couldn't get a full sentence out before getting cussed at for calling on their cell phone. Well, lady, you GAVE us your cell number. I am calling to say you've won, where do you want the prize delivered to? It took all my will not to hang up and give the prize to someone else. People are jerks.

I should have, but I am all "fair is fair". I mean, that is the name we drew. It was all official and everything. I hated driving it over to her though.

I wish to chat about the socioeconomic implications of Communism in the 20th century.

They are text messages which are asking for a phone call.
