1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: Are you waiting for a response to a text message?

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: And start of a relationship? You flick one off and

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: there you are, and you're there and you a minute,

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: it's mecca.

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: And do you know what's sorry?

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: Fits? There's a level of control that you can have

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: over people, and I don't like it. There are certain

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: people that go, I might just let them hold on

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: you for a bit.

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: It's a game, isn't it. Look I am big on.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: If you don't know what to say, it's best not

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: to say anything, and then that says all you need.

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: But see that's copper, that's a Coper silence tree, that's

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: someone And I don't think that works. Sometimes my wife's

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: taught me that you need to resolve things.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, I'm not saying silence completely.

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: This is relationship. They deserve better than that.

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, I agree. Some people do, but

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: it's not always to do Maybe it's a friend. No,

21
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: it's relationships. We're talking about relationship.

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Have you ghosted someone before, Kate, I'm not.

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't do that.

24
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: I don't do that.

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: I give people a particular level of respect and clarity

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: honesty and honesty, but then there's then there's like only

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: so much that can be said. I do think though,

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: if you in the beginning of a relationship and someone's

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: looking for answers, then they do deserve that. I absolutely agree.

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: But what this study has revealed is that if you

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: are waiting for that text, and you are waiting for

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: some kind of explanation or response, don't be worried that

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: they haven't replied straight away, because apparently what it means

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: is that you might be getting involved with someone who is.

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: A little.

36
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: Very busy and has another family and just hasn't got

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: around no, but that you eventually will connect with them

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: on a deeper level. So delayed responders they're calling them

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: who are sporadic with their communication patterns, could actually be

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: more introverted. They value deep, meaningful interactions over a higher

41
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: quantity of exchanges. Let's be honest. Do you want the

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: guy or the woman who you know is on their

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: phone twenty four to seven scrolling and they just are like,

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: they respond, but there's nothing really to it. They haven't

45
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: thought about it, they're just they're almost Some people just

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: respond to get the dopamine hit of the little Oh

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: my goodness, they're riding back. I've got them. It's like

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: keeping people on the hook. Wouldn't you rather nothing? You'd

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: rather crickets than a constant flow of non meaningful communication.

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: Chie wasn't long ago on this beautiful broadcast show that

51
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: you declared and admitted to everybody that you're not afraid

52
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of a bitter three dot Where Kate, We'll just leave

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: you wondering so it would look like she's riding, which

54
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: is not actually riding. She's just got it open.

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: I'll just okay, okay, maybe on a couple of occasions

56
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: I have dot dotted like just I've you know, just

57
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: let us random m in maybe whatever's and then I'll

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: then I'll will deleat because you think they're probably watching

59
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: the dots come up, and then they watch and then

60
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: you stop and then you just then, you know, get

61
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: on with your day.

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: And then it's like she was going to write you

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: deleted it decided not too cold.

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: It's not there's no coldness about I'm not. I don't

65
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: have a cold cold heart.

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: You know. I think what I would normally do unless

67
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: it needs to be action straight away, unless I need

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: to reply to that person straight away, normally I just

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: wait till I'm sitting down at night time.

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah and all. So, I mean I have a have

71
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: a child. If I was responding to the text messages

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: that I receive all day, every day, NonStop, she'd be saying, Mum,

73
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: you said I'm not allowed to be on my iPad.

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: Why are you on the phone? You know there are

75
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: times for or I'm sitting in the.

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: Traffic, So I will tactically three dot them instead.

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: One of the may loves the three dom game who

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: she takes and puts bets.

79
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: On that, so you will say to my direconosic three dotal.

80
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: Ever, I would never for a while when it's a

81
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: long amount of charm, Oh this there's juicy in the

82
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: long hunt. You're putting a fair bit into it, and

83
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: then when it stopped you absolute dog. That's that's did

84
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: you notice this?

85
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Dog? The messages now can say edited? You've seen that?

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: So does that mean someone has sent the message and

88
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: then they've looked at it and then they've edited.

89
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

90
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be your grammar, wouldn't it that you've stuffed

91
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: something up and gone back and edit it.

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Or if you chopped her a sentence out that you

93
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: wanted to say but then decided it was.

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: Too dangerous, so they're no longer invited. Can you edit

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: after they've seen the text? I think you can, so

96
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: that's why you have to screenshot. Screenshot instantly.
