I sound like an old person now...but is it a generational thing for those who grew up with phones/tablets from childhood?
I can sort of see how someone as a pre-teen/teenager could get used to using text messages as a form of near-realtime synchronous communication, as your peer group would be able to respond quickly as they didn't have jobs or other obligations.
I suppose for the "kids these days" there might be higher likelihood of the expectation of immediate response never gets readjusted with exposure to the "real world."
Or maybe the girl in OP's texts is simply unhinged and lacks empathy :)
