Very true Tom. But then the concept of not expecting a response will not come across as needy. I think a good way of avoiding crossing this fine line is to try and not ask any questions in your texts... even - 'How's you day going?' It also means you don't loose ground if she doesn't respond.

I recall asking some chodey mates about a text I was sending some new girl about a year ago. They said, 'You've not asked a question, she won't respond if you don't ask a question'. Not as simple as that boys.
