Advice from the old lady:
OP pursues what pleases him and is having success. My playboy buddy would subscribe to this philosophy as well (who cares about response time)….The key is to have enough value to have multiple options at any given time. What do you care if a chick takes a day, a week or a month to get back to you if you have half dozen (or more) others in the cue? Answer: It doesn’t matter. You are too busy entertaining other options to care.
One other factor is this. If a chick is out with someone else she is unlikely to text back immediately. If she’s a hottie she has a full social calendar herself. When you don’t react to lengthy response times you are “chill” not desperate or thirsty. Patience pays in seduction gentlemen. Often.
Cheers
