textual standoff

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.
