Agreed with all of the above repliers.

8 out of 10 they will understand n respect you more than those guys
You aren't saying 8 out of 10 reply, or that you are seeing an 80% improvement over past results. Just that they will 'understand and respect' which can't be quantified.
HOWEVER
I remember a riff on this from the old days of the 'community' which preps the girl for your call (people called one another in the 1990s) and spins all of this in a more positive manner. I have not field tested this because I forgot about it until just now and I was an AFC lurker in the old days of the community.
It basically says to the girl (updated for the 21st century) "and when I text you i want you to be excited and send me at least 7 smilies. Remember: 7. Not 6. At least 7."
It still has somewhat high overtones of desperation (which is probably why i forgot about it until now), but it's way better than going non-positive.
I suspect this positive frame would be more advantageous than as others have stated basically telling the girl you are used to being flaked on.
