Honest question, if I have to ask for 3 pieces of information, would it help if I sent it in 3 messages?

Message 1: how many people are coming to dinner?

Message 2: are any vegetarian?

Message 3: what time are they arriving?

Personally I would prefer the 1 message with 3 questions vs the 3 messages with 1 question each(many messages in short time make me think something is wrong and urgent), what's your preference?

It's a lot easier with separate messages. The visual separation helps a lot.

Interesting. Thanks for the quick response.

Really the only thing that really annoys me over text is yes/no to not yes/no questions.

Me: I've had a long day so was going to just pick up dinner on way home, do you want pizza or burgers?

Partner: yes

Would I like one of those? Yeah I would

I literally just felt my blood pressure increase...

The answer is clear. BOTH. Or just ask them to answer 1 or 2 to these kind of questions, if you're not gonna let them indulge.

This is... Definitely something... Just do this every time your partener isn't clear enough about their intentions. They'll clarify real quick.

Lol, sorry result of a 30 second search, especially the pickles and mayo make me think twice.

I knew a place with a cheeseburger pizza but it was basically just a regular pizza with cheedar cheese and ground beef.

Nah for me 1 message is where it's at, I was just joking. I like it when people send over one message with everything they need to tell or ask so I can respond without going into a back and forward, ESPECIALLY if I'm busy with work but not necessarily.

I also ask multiple things in one message but people never ever take the time to respond to all of them... Fucking ever, it pisses me off lol, because I put effort into writing a coherent message then they just discard it most of the time :-/
