Something about the way that you have phrased your response is off-putting to me.

If you told me this in person, I would be angry at you.

It’s not like I’m trying to end a marriage or something. I’ve been talking to her for a few weeks. If cracks are forming this early, then it’s right for me to have my hackles up.

I’m kind of going through it right now, but I’m not sure.

I’ve been talking to this girl for a while, but we’ve been keeping things low-key.

The other day, work was crazy, I was tired, and I forgot to text her

She never texted me.

So I let it go another day, and she never texted me.

Now it’s today, and she still hasn’t texted me, which makes me feel like I was doing all the heavy lifting keeping the communication going.

We’re still relatively new in the relationship. I don’t feel like it’s a very high bar to expect that she would put effort in.

So I guess I’m deciding that if she doesn’t text me today then I’ll text her in the morning and say I hope she has a good one and move on.

Like, once you get over the terror of the very real concern that this could be used against you to injure you, it’s actually pretty cool.

I mean, imagine if you owned it, you could ride it to work, and it could use its arms to carry weapons to attack other bad centaur riders on your way into the office.
