Saved text read at different points in time will be interpreted differently based on changes in the person's state of mind and the overall psychological context in which the text is read. People vary widely in how much of their messages they save and what types of messages they save. This reflects their attitude and style of being in the relationship. Delayed text communication enables people to say exactly what they want to say. During emotional points in an asynchronous text relationship, people sometimes respond immediately without taking advantage of the time delay.
People vary widely in the intensity and frequency that they communicate via text.
Adjusting to the other person's pace is important in the relationship. A change in the pacing of messages reflects a change in the relationship. In the course of an ongoing text relationship, there will be a changing rhythm of spontaneous and carefully thought out messages that parallels the ebb and flow of the relationship itself. Feelings of separation may be eased. The feeling of the other's presence is stronger in asynchronous communication in that people have more opportunity to express complexity and subtlety in what they write about themselves.
