Um…what?

Since when is a lack of response an acceptable form of rejection? I have to say that I’m not a fan of it. I can be communicating all day with someone in a text message or through email and then all of a sudden, as though the person has dropped their phone in the toilet- nothing! I have to say that this drives me absolutely insane. Do they think that I don’t know that they have read it and once a period of time passes, the offer no longer requires a response? I mean…he was getting all of the other messages in real-time. I know because there had been instant replies…things like “yeah…It’s really hard to text in the shower”…or “that lady in the line next to me just got mad because I was texting you”…(Don’t even get me started on how rude it is that there is so much cell phone use in public places!…) So what about, “Hey! Do you want to come over and watch a movie?”, warrants no response? Personally I would’ve thought, “hmm…she knows that I have a blackberry and I have been emailing her all day from my car. I bet she’ll know that I have access to this email.” This would’ve logically produced a stream of words in my head. Something like...let’s see…um… "no thanks I’m busy.”… “I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to be alone with you cause I find you extremely hot.”… “I’m washing my hair tonight.”… really anything would do! I have to say that saying nothing gets the job done: It tells me that you have very bad social etiquette and obviously you’re in love with me!…That’s the point you meant to get across right? …geez…that’s so nice…but I’m not sure I can commit to you at this time. (See how that works people? Communication!)
