You are not a vending machine.
They don’t get to press a button and get your time.

Late-night texts are rarely romantic.
They’re a filter.

But most people fail it.
They confuse urgency with intimacy.
They confuse access with attention.

So they answer.
They respond quick.
They try to “keep it cool” while secretly hoping it turns into something real.

It won’t.

Here’s how it really works:
When someone only reaches out at night, or last-minute, or vaguely - they’re running a convenience loop.
The only way to shift it is to stop rewarding it.
