When you began your phone call, you were in your living room. When you hung up, you were halfway down the main road.
2. Leaving a certain amount of time before answering a text
Wait five minutes before responding. Even if it’s your mam. Can’t be looking like you have nothing better to do than reply to texts.
3. Panicking over a private number
You haven’t done anything wrong. No one wants anything from you. But still:
