Dear Miss Emily:
Hey, so I am currently crushing on this guy. We are emailing each other often and everything is fine. But, this thing troubles me. I replied to his message "What are you busy with ? :)" Then he replies "Im busy with a of of stuff. hehe. Sorry if I reply late ^w^"
The problem here is not the content of his message but, I can't find the right thing to reply to his messages. I want this to go on. I am afraid if I don't reply fight away, the messaging thing will end. So could you please tell me what should I reply to him so our messaging thing will go on? Thanks a bunch <3
-------------------------------Miss Emily's advice----------------------
A wise e-mailer (or text-er) knows when to avoid overkill. Texting, especially, can be annoying when that sound goes off and the person is busy -- especially when that person heard from the text-er ten minutes before that! Keep your e-mails newsy (interesting), and don't send anything just to let him know you're still on the planet. That's the thing that give any correspondence of this nature the element of the absurd. Some of the most innocuous things are said, as if it's earth shattering -- facebook would be a prime example. Let him know you're feelings aren't hurt if he's too busy to reply but, again, you can keep his interest if you have something to say. If you truly want to get to know him, give him insight to your interests in life, and get the dialogue flowing in that way. You seem bright, ask him how he feels concerning issues of the day. And, please, do let him know you have a life, like he does, and you're not waiting with baited breath to hear from him. Most guys are repelled when girls seem needy when it comes to keeping in touch. Lose any fear of insecurity in this area, please. It's far worse to have nothing of any merit to say, than it is to keep silent until you do. If you're friendly, interesting, and don't read into his late replies as a snub, something may happen to take this relationship to a place you want it to go.
