smsetiquette

A technological crisis of conscience has arisen. I SMS'd someone (ok someone I sort of like) three days ago. Nothing difficult. Just a "how's it hangin' dude" kind of message. I get a reply days later. The doormat in me wants to reply immediately. The head has reigned supreme. I have not replied twelve hours later. I am sure when I do call I will become a regular himbo and say something like "I just saw your message" which will undo everything. I am clearly not intended to be a man of much mystery.
