Unable-to-text-back Syndrome Edit Meaning

1.

Being a bloke I have to say this is actually what GIRLS do. They feel the need to play "hard to get" and therefore don't text back, though usually it'll be after a couple of texts so it doesn't look too obvious.

Me: I was texting Becca earlier

My Mate: Cool, how'd it go?

Me: Ok for about half an hour, then she turned on the old unable-to-text-back syndrome

My Mate: Tut, of course...

2.

disease contracted by men whenever we text them saying anything remotely different to 'shag me now'

text reads, how are you? No reply. looks like hes caught the syndrome
