Entered Text Standoff

An awkward standstill when two people realize they are typing to each other at the same time. They both stop typing to see if the other person responds first.

Text-ican Standoff

When a man and a woman start dating, but one of them loses interest and stops texting, and the other person doesn't want to send another text until the person that has lost interest responds to their previous text for the fear that they are seeming desperate. Similar to the Mexican Standoff but with texts not guns.

Mike - Hey Jason, how's it going with the girl you've been seeing?

Jason - Not good.. I sent her a text a few days ago and she hasn't responded yet, so I'm in a Text-ican Standoff.
