In her defense, I texted her at 8:30 am and said I would pass after the almost 4 am text. She just texted me back at 9:25 am and apologized for the early text. I'll still pass.

Knowing that, a hobbyist should do his best to safeguard from something like this occurring. It is his prerogative to use his regular phone. I do suggest that he use a contact specific DND function when he must leave his phone on for regular business or family. I don't know much about androids, but I do have a an iPhone in which I can set individual contacts to DND. The other alternative is to have a google voice set up and sign out of it when you don't want to be contacted. In addition, it is always best to let the lady know what communication restrictions and preferences you may have.
Both sides could have done better to prevent this from occurring in this circumstance.
In an unregulated industry, we should all do our best to protect our best interests. Also, knowing the risks that come along with the hobby should be a key factor in determining whether it is right for you.
I wish both parties the best from here on out.
