How do you respond to someone’s texts who replies very late?

Depending on what we are talking about I usually don’t mind late responses because I know I take a very long time to text back. Sometimes I’m not in the mood for a full on conversation or you read someone’s message but at the moment, you cant think of a good reply so you save the message for later (well until u forget about days later but it’s pretty normal texting standard for me). With my friends who I can’t see often we can take weeks since we’re both busy but can still get back into talking very easily.

But again, it definitely depends on what we’re talking about because with the guy I’ve been dating for a couple of weeks now, sometimes I ask him how his day’s been or what has he eaten and he doesn’t text back for… awhile. I sent him a message yesterday asking about his day but he still hasn’t responded but granted I know he’s visiting his family in another city this weekend for easter so he’s most likely busy. But nevertheless when he does actually respond back anyways, his messages are so dry and i think this is really what ive been waiting for to read?

I’m not worried with the thought that he’s not into me since when we do spend time, they’re pretty good. And he always asks when im free and even mentions future dates in the summer so it’s just his messages that are very eh.

Also some context, I asked him about his past relationships and he mentioned how his ex became very overbearing and would check his snapscore if he doesn’t respond back and I don’t wanna be that kind of girl so I’ve been trying to come up with maybe a funny comeback to respond with or jokes? just something to push him to respond faster but doesn’t pressure him to.
