She always responds the same day I send an email and sometimes it takes me a week to write back because these are long emails and I am busy. At the bottoms of her emails she started writing "Don't feel like you have to reply, but I do always enjoy your emails."What's up with that? Reply to this Question

I really am "busy", that wasn't just an excuse. My job demands a lot of my time. And I meant a five-day week, not a seven-day week. Thank you again! I will be more timely!

 I agree with everyone on here...especially pinktopaz.
If you keep up this week long delay in responding, she'll find someone else. I wouldn't hang around for someone who takes a week to write back...I'd just assume he wasn't that interested.
As person12345 said, ask her out. You'll stop emailing back and forth and take this into the real world.

 She really wants you to reply and reply fast, because she is interested.. But she doesn't want to seem needy or pushy.

 I agree with both posters. She's getting the vibe that you aren't interested in her. Generally for a girl it's thought that if a guy is interested, he will respond ASAP! If a guy is just too busy to get around to it, I'd assume he just doesn't like me much and move on. If you want her to keep writing you and to stay interested you need to respond to her emails quickly! Don't leave a week in between, respond within 48 hours or better yet, within the day. Better still, ask her out?

 I agree with PinkTopaz. She wants to hear from you, but is trying to accept that you might not be as interested in her as she is in you. If you don't respond sooner, making her a priority, she may think you're just not that into her.

You take too long to respond. So when you take a week to respond since you're "busy" she probably thinks that you're finally getting around to it because you're trying to be nice. So she's probably getting the vibe that you don't really like her, but she's letting you know that she likes hearing from you; however, she doesn't want you to respond just because you feel like you have to. She wants you to respond because you like talking to her, which is coming off like you don't.
