To think I shouldn't bother replying to this?

[faffyducklop]

Being casually shagging someone for a couple months now. I made it clear from the beginning that that was all I was looking for at the moment due to my current circumstances. He was fine with this.

We usually sext and once in a while he will check in and ask how I am doing, will have a quick chat and that is that.

Yesterday morning he messaged me asking how I was etc. I replied couple hours later. He didn't reply until this afternoon, over twenty four hours later. Saying something like, I'm good, off today, what you up to?

At this point after 24 hours I think the conversation is finished and I need not reply. He's now messaged me ???

AIBU to think that he can wait and has a cheek after taking so long to reply after he started the conversation?

Don’t you have homework to do?
(I assume you are a child right?)

Why? Because adult woman can't have casual sex?

Women*

I think she means because you’re bothered that a casual fling took 24 hours to reply.

No because adult women don’t count the hours between messages and then refuse to reply.

It's hardly casual if you're putting this much thought in to it, is it?

Well why text in the first place?

No the casual sex is nothing to do with it, it’s the acting like a child about your casual fling taking 24 hours to reply to a text. Don’t reply if you don’t want to, I doubt he’s as bothered as you are.

The nice thing is, you don't have to make this into a tit for tat mind game.

There is the option to just reply if you want to, or not reply if you don't.

If its casual why are you so bothered about it?

Do you not think he was angling for a shag? And you've just ignored him for a day.

He knows I'm working so doubtful

Why text in the first place?
Because it's casual sex and also it will be casual contact. Not sure why you didn't get that??

Okay my bad. Obviously overthinking

If it's as casual as you are trying to convince yourself it is, why are you even arsed?

Does it matter? I often text the next day or get texts back after a day. It's not like your convos are so scintillating or vital, they need an immediate response.

Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right. Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right. Can you come out to play?

Why all the angst if it takes a while to reply? You wanted a casual relationship and this seems pretty casual to me. I don't see why you're annoyed about it.

Not sure why that message was directed at you faffy...seems to be a thing on here when I quote, or possibly I am doing it wrong...!?

If you are just shagging, why do you care anyway?

What 😂

I think you are over thinking it but I understand that it is annoying when they don’t reply for several hours.

Are you 10?! People have busy lives. I rarely reply to texts immediately, regardless of who they're from. I really don't have time for people who get petty about things like this

Saying something like, I'm good, off today, what you up to? doesn't sound like it. Sounds like he was hoping you'd say cool i'll call in sick and pop round and we can service our needs

Casual sex = causal messages. You didn’t reply straightaway so he probably moved on from wanting to message and got back once he was bored again. That’s how casual works.

I'd find it hard to be bothered about this...

Ah yes, one of those casual relationships where you count the hours between messages and then sulk when you don't get fast enough responses.
