When a man and woman, not yet in a committed relationship,
hold out on texting each other, typically after a sexual encounter with each other, for fear of their partner thinking that they are "too clingy." Similar to a
wild west standoff, except with texts not revolvers.
Manuel- Have you heard from Sarah since that party
last weekend?
Craig- No,
we banged in the bathroom, but now
I'm in a textual standoff with her.
