Me: *Types hi* Actually if I say hi first he'll think I'm

Me: *Types hi* Actually if I say hi first he'll think I'm too desperate *deletes it* But what if he doesn't text me and then we never speak again? Right I'll just type it *re types hi* Or should I wait a little longer? *deletes it* Omg what should I do?!!?!
Friend:  OMG JUST SAY HI YOU PENGUIN
Me: *Sends hi*
*Waits a minute*
OMG HE HASN'T REPLIED, HES IGNORING ME, HE THINKS I'M DESPERATE, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE!!!
*5 minutes later*
AHHHH HES TEXTED BACK!!!!! Now I should probably wait 5 minutes so he thinks I'm not just sitting around for his text, oh but then what if he thinks I'm ignoring him? 3 Minutes then. *1 minute later*
GOD THIS IS THE LONGEST 3 MINUTES EVER!
Friend: I'm pretty sure he won't sit there working out how quickly you texted him back just text him..
Me: I think it'll be better if we just wait a few more minutes.. actually maybe I should just text him, ahahha why my even making a massive deal of this? It's so pathetic I can text him whenever I want!
Friend: So your gonna text him now then?
Me: No I think its best I just wait another minute.
