    Why not text ‘wanna talk sometime’? A call demands an immediate response, so reserve it for things that demand immediate responses.

      No it doesn’t. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll text you to pick up the phone. There’s a reason the terms “phone tag” and “screening calls” exist.

        But you don’t know the relative importance of what they’re telling vs what you’re doing. A text gives more information than just seeing your receiving a call.

          Damn dude, it’s not that big a deal. Just don’t pick up the phone. If it’s important they’ll find a way to let you know.

            You will feel terrible if you don’t pick up the phone and it turns out to be something important, like being able to hear the last words of your grandma or something.

            Texting is a lot less of a big deal than a phone call is.

        I’m sorry, what’s “phone tag” and “screening calls”? Never heard of any of that.
