One other potential cause is that in some major metropolitan areas, driving is becoming less a required rite of passage and more 'optional.' With Uber and public transit and all that, I read one forecast which suggested that driving was going to become a specialist activity and the general populace was going to lose the ability. *chuckles softly* I just assumed that you would pull over or text back when not driving. Silly me thinking that was automatically implied.
Example Conversation:
Dom messages a sub. During Chatting, the person that you are chatting with says, (examples)
I have some errands to do.
Im at the store.
Just pulled into ??? parking lot, saw that you had texted. (This would be a case of this person acknowledging they saw your text, but obviously they are there to go inside somewhere.
I could go on, but these type of statements above should be a prompt, a signal, choose whatever word works , that 8ts not the best time to chat.
-I'm off of the original path of the Op's question, but my point is still in the same ballpark.-
If inly we lived in a world where we can stop what we ARE DOING to chat w/ a "Dom" . Now i know that some feel as if we should, but life doesn't work like that.
If you are interested in chatting w this person maybe ask when a good time to chat is. And choose a time during then .
If they are interested in chatting, then they will gladly tell you when a better better time is.
It doesn't even have to be a case where they are somewhere else, maybe they are involved in something where they live.
To continue to send messages when someone has told you in a round a bout way that they are busy, is RUDE, ARROGANT, & frankly can be a predictor of a certain type mindset.
