I was thinking about this on the drive over to my friends place this morning. We had talked about it last night over dinner - how there is or should be some sort of reasonable expectation with regards to communication when dating someone, but how that seems to intensify almost out of control.
I'm not overly familiar with this but have had some experience with it recently. You send someone a text and there is generally an expectation, unless your text clearly indicates otherwise, that a reply is wanted. When you don't get one for every day stuff you get a little miffed about it. But when you throw in the dating thing, the expectation increases substantially and the silence suddenly means more than it actually does. And we turn into neurotic crazy women paranoid about everything.
I wonder why that is?
