So here is a non-HS related question for those who dislike HS related questions.
At Lit, how do you deal with ending a PM relationship with someone who has gone dry? Do you let it fizzle? Or do you tell them it’s just not working out? This can be friends or a sexual relationship here. Is there any obligation?

I don't see why obligation. If someone doesn't message me back, I drop another line. If I don't hear from them, oh well... I tend to send a note to people when I'm thinking of them but I never, ever take it personally if I don't get a response. I don't consider it the end of a relationship at all. I personally feel it's the height of entitlement to expect a response all the time from people. As our communication methods become more and more invasive, people forget we have choice and autonomy. Is REALLY unfair to reach out with expectation. It changes the dynamic of communication and is pretty selfish in the sense that it doesn't consider the recipient's life at all. There are hundreds of reasons why I personally don't/can't respond to messages. I imagine it's the same for other people. I'm not important enough to think I'm the reason I'm not getting a message back. And if I am, that's fine, too.
I know that others completely disagree with me, and that's ok.
