Whether it’s sending them a pop-up message when you know you shouldn’t or giving them a lecture that will unquestionably press their buttons, I know that anxious, unsettling feeling: ‘will they/won’t they respond’ is all you can think about.
Hearing the ‘ding’ on your phone, wanting to look but not wanting to look.That wave of excitement when it’s the one you’re dating or disappointment when it’s just your mum’s daily ‘How are you? X’ (sorry, Mum).
