Phone glow. Message read. No reply.
It was going well. You were laughing. Texting through the day.
They even said something about “next time.”
Now it’s been two days. You re-read the last thing you sent.
Too much? Too soon?
You didn’t think so. But now it’s hard not to second-guess.
Most people call it a slow fade.
But in the first 10 days, it’s rarely about you.
It’s pacing.
They liked you. Then they got unsure.
They got unsure because the rhythm shifted too fast.
The wrong ratio. The wrong reach. At the wrong time.
And now you’re stuck in limbo.
Feeling too much. Saying too little.
Watching the energy leak out one unread bubble at a time.
If your best connections fade too soon, this is the fix.

– The 3-part pacing system to keep the spark steady
– Exact texting ratios for the first 7–10 days
