Don't forget that there is dishonor for your cow as well. 

Eh actually not many right now. Other partners are slow. This is next up for me when I have time. I may end up just dropping yet another 1x1 because of a lack of communication but I prefer giving people a week before I say anything unless they aren't worth me actually messaging them and telling them. Some people are just a waste of time trying to appeal to and aren't worth the time you spend typing to them. 

Your promptness and ability to actually have social skills when it comes to keeping a partner informed give you an edge over my others, so there's that.
