To think it’s rude not to text back?

[feelingfuller]

If that same person has replied in a group chat?

I messaged friend on Saturday to check she got home ok after I dropped her off at the train station and heard nothing back.

Today a friend in a group chat (who we also saw on Saturday) asked a very generic question and she’s messaged back in that.

Just think it’s a bit rude

We’re going to have to agree to disagree on that one because I would consider it bad manners not to reply to a friend who had just given me a lift earlier that night.

Who's to say the friend won't reply? Why does it need to be immediate?

When someone asks you if you got home ok you don’t generally leave it a few days to reply. You just reply as soon as you read it, Yes thanks

This is…strange.

I can be bad for replying (I mentally reply or I’m too knackered to reply then forget to the following day for example!) it isn’t intentional but sometimes if I’ve forgotten I leave it too long and then it can be awkward or not really relevant.

A few friends of mine are the same and it’s no big deal. We might not reply to something small the other has said and then we pick up again a few days later, we all know that we’re all busy/tired/hopeless with texts.

Presuming you were with her in person on Saturday and enjoying each other’s company, I’d try to let it go.

If she read it and didn't acknowledge it then yes she was rude. She basically ignored it.

Boo bloody hoo.

😳

If you heard nothing back, did you chase it up?

If not, your checking up text was little more than a virtue signal anyway.

Oops 🙊 Probably should stick to posting when sober!
