Whether he is busy or upset, he will text you back in his own time when he is ready to do so. All you can do is try to have faith that he will get back to you. And if he does not respond to you after hours or even days, then you have bigger problems in your relationship to unpack.

Or maybe you’re wondering if he is just busy or is playing games with you. These are all valid questions, and we’ve come up with 21 possible reasons why he never texts first but always replies fast. It’s still possible to salvage a text-only relationship if you’re really interested in progressing beyond this stage. The most important thing to do is to voice your thoughts and desires to the person you’re talking to. If you do that, it’s up to the other person to reassure you that they do want something beyond virtual romance, or not. Women bond by talking and sharing about their life, day, or experience, which can be done over the phone or through text messages.

They Only Want To Talk Over Text

A guy could stop texting because the conversation momentum has been lost, or because he’s no longer interested in investing in the relationship. And it’s going to be hard to pull him into an emotionally committed relationship, because the ship to being the ‘one and only’ has already sailed. You need to be present with your feelings before you can become more balanced in this relationship situation.

Therefore, it’s easy to forget about texting. There is an idea that when he’s not calling you, he’s just not that into you. Men are simpler creatures than women believe, if they aren’t calling, there’s usually a reason. Pay attention to whether he eventually gets back to you or has dropped you cold. This is more telling than whether it was several hours or several days before he returned your call or text. You may be asking yourself why present-day communication seems so complicated compared to all those 80s rom-coms where boy meets girl, boy asks girl out, and boy and girl fall in love.

You might be wondering what you did wrong or if they’re losing interest. If you’ve texted this potential boo twice and still haven’t gotten a response, it’s possible that you may be getting ghosted. “[It’s possible] they’re at work and can’t have their phone,” says Maria Avgitidis, CEO of matchmaking service Agape Match and host of the dating podcast Ask A Matchmaker. This girl needs peace in her live, so help me out with this one.

Yesterday was my birthday and he didn’t reach out. He knows the date of my birthday because I told him, we’ve talked a lot about both of us being aries, and he even found my astrological “number” which needs birthdays and stuff.

You deserve someone who’s willing to put in the effort.

We had arranged to meet up just on our own which we hadn’t done. I thought it was going well to begin with we were holding hands and just enjoying each others company. Then as we went to go get some food he asked what time I was thinking of going home. Oh yeah… well, that’s all good until HE doesn’t receive a prompt reply, or HE is the one being ignored.

I made it a priority to acknowledge his special day and talked to him throughout that day. He didn’t do anything being that we both worked on our birthdays and would not be off until the weekend. My bday rolls around & I Didn’t get a happy bday. I got a good morning text I responded & nothing more. I figured he forgot abt my bday being that he didn’t mention it when he text me.

If it feels like he’s annoyed or disinterested in the conversation, more than likely it’s because he is. If you pick up on any vibes like that, you need to go ahead and cut it loose. He clearly isn’t the guy for you because the right guy for you is going to be excited to talk to you and interested in what you say.

In the beginning, it might make him curious when you don’t text him back. But then, if you do it too often it can get tiring for him to wait around for replies. Not texting a guy back does not make him want you more.

I’ve never been so sick in my life where I couldn’t take 30 seconds to text or make a quick phone call. It popped into my head last night and I’ve never before encountered a guy/date that would go into turtle mode when he’s about Socialsex sick. Don’t continue to worry and fixate and write him long paragraphs trying to “understand” what went wrong. Don’t send him sad faces (not saying you would ever do this but you would be surprised at how many women do).
