when text responsiveness is patchy

You know I'm text-sketchy between 3-8 because I'm dealing with the kids. Best to text me later.

trigger text

When a woman or man text their significant other with a controversial conversation topic designed to create (or to "trigger") a conversation and / or argument at a time when the other has put the argument on the back burner for the time being. For example, a few hours after a couple end an argument, the man tells his girlfriend that he will be watching the game for the next two hours (thinking the argument is over for now). She goes up to bed, then sends a text about a half hour in to rekindle the unresolved argument from earlier.

I felt like the whole thing was behind us, and she goes and sends me a trigger text when I'm trying to relax and watch a movie.

Tennis Texting

The activity involving a number of text messages sent back and forth between two individuals. This can lead to hand cramps and issues of insecurity and/or frustration. Does he like me? Will she sleep with me? This issue has arisen in the dating misadventures of 3six5dates.
Alternatively, Texting Tennis is a useful form of interrogation.

Cindy: Hey, what’cha doin? 2.13pm, Tuesday.
Mark: Nothin’ much. What ya up to? 3.46pm, Tuesday.
Cindy: Yeah same. 4.01pm, Tuesday.
Mark: Cool. 4.50pm, Tuesday.
Cindy: Cool. 9.32am Wednesday.

Yep. That's tennis texting.
