my bf and i are kinda in a rough place, and i love this man and i know he loves me but he like hasn't texted me back. like ik he is busy with his friends probably but the least he could do is tell me. he texted me good morning at 11 and i text back good morning how was football practice? and around 11:15 and it's now almost 3 and he still hasn't responded. i just wanna talk to him :/ do i triple text? or do i just wait for him to respond ugh
