So I already went on two dates with this gal. First one, we seemed to have hit it off. She told me herself we had a lot in common, and suggested we should go to a movie for the next date. She even thanked me after the date for a good time after I got home, so all the green flags were there.
The only problem was that she was so bad at texting. I mean I would text her, but it would take forever for her to get back to me. After some slow back and forth, she went radio silent for 5 days. Then on a Thursday morning just when I had written her off, she finally got back to me. We finally settled on the movie date + dinner on Monday evening. We had our Monday date then. Nothing too crazy happened, but we had a good time I think. I was in the process of setting a 3rd date. But she told me this week was crazy busy for her. And then she went radio silent again. I mean I can believe her, since she has a "day job" as a technical program manager where she has to be on call at times and she also has a 2nd job at Trader Joe's. She also seemed very stressed about her day job too. But one would think she would have a couple seconds to respond.
Just when I was about move on, she finally gets back today (a Thursday again) to tell me she might be available Fri or Sat. I mean I like her and all, but the scattershot communication is a bit frustrating. I don't need her to be on-call 24/7, but I expect some response within 24 hours. I know she is busy with work, so maybe there's something I might be able to help with (especially since we live in the same neighborhood), but I don't know. How do I address this issue with her, without being too mean?
