Problem i have with a set number of days or w/e
If you wait on purpose for no reason, you are putting already too much effort/time thinking about it.
I agree, but want to point something out and ask what you think.
Waiting on purpose/for no reason is putting too much tome and effort into it. However, in this day-in-age, we are literally connected to everyone (everyone in our contacts list) 24/7, 365. For me, I’m with my phone all day long, even when I’m busy doing work/hobbies/passions/volunteering/seeing friends, always.
What excuse would one actually have for waiting 4-7 days to contact a girl? Doing something so simple as sending a text is not something that cannot be done in literally 10 seconds, anytime of the day.
So people always say, wait 3-6 days or whatever numbers they throw out there, but in reality, I don’t think it’s fooling anyone. Nobody is so busy they cannot send a simple text message.
Now - I’m not saying we should just be sitting by our phones, pining away and always texting back ASAP or same day even or whatever. I’m just pointing out there is so much contradiction in what a good “standard” should be.
Is this where “doing what you want, and being confident in it” comes in? As in, it doesn’t really matter what you decide, as long as it’s true to yourself and what you want, without regard for how others will respond to it or judge you for it?
