Actually I only started it because my ex used to do it... and now its just become a habit! 1 bad grain ruined the whole batch (isn't the saying something like that) Well the ultimate irony is that we broke up because of "lack of communication " lol who saw that coming!😂
I used to reply fast. Now however, I usually take time, mainly for reasons such as: multiple people are texting me, I'm playing a game that I can't just pause (and if I keep replying then I won't get a chance to properly enjoy the game), something important happening in the house/wherever I am, etc.
I'm guilty of it too... But it isn't because I want to play hard, but because I think it's more fun to talk in person, rather than pick up my phone each time because I'm not really on it very often. But I do let them know I'm doing something else, something I would appreciate others do as well instead of not answering
Because technology addiction is stupid, and people don't have to be/shouldn't have to be constantly connected with their phones. If he doesn't reply right away, oh well. Read a book or something until he does.
Speaking for myself, I answer texts when I'm on my phone. If I'm not on my phone and doing something else, it'll wait until I pick up my phone again. I check it every once in a while, but not constantly.
i remember texting a guy who had stage 4 bone cancer, and he couldn't text a lot because he was hooked up to machines. i haven't heard from him in almost a month util i got a text, and when it finally popped up. it was his sister who text me that he just passed away. he was a really great guy. :(
It could mean several things, he could be too busy with work, helping out with family problems, financial difficulties causing him to focus on other problems just be patient and wait if he doesn't reply for days at a time then there's something wrong he might even only have time to reply when he's going to bed but he should reply at some point
Maybe they are genuinely busy. I text my boyfriend whenever I'm thinking about him but I know that he will only reply when he can because he's busy working hard.
There is no single answer to this question, no one reason, there is a plethora if reasons why a guy won't answer.
Top 3, they're busy, they dont have they're, and/or they dont want to talk right now.
but its not a guy thing ita a people thing. recent generarions, my generation included, dont really know how to properly communicate. its all via text or im or snaps, which is not real communication anyway.
it is felt that is needs to be right now, but thats almost never the case.
Maybe they're busy? Maybe they're with someone and out of respect not use their phone as often? I personally don't reply if I have nothing to say, if the person is boring and is basically bringing it upon themself, or if I'm mad.. Many reasons and guys who reply late have their own reasons.
I don't, actually I will reply even if I was sleeping, driving (175 Kmph) sometimes. And the opposite happens to me, some people don't reply even after days!'
Um... it doesn't piss me off. I'm generally thinking that the guy is busy or maybe didn't see/hear the message. I know I miss the occasional message because I forget to check my phone.
I have a life & believe me,... I'm usually VERY busy in that life. If a girl texts me, she will need to wait until I'm done being occupied. If it's a girl who placed me in the friendzone... she can wait longer.
I shall bring you the answer! You see if a person is hard to get you will automatically become more attracted to that person. Because people always want what they can't have. So thers a big chance he is playing you so you will become more attached to him. With other words 😉 he likes you
But it's really not like that, at least for me. If I don't respond immediately, I'm probably working or doing something that requires focus. I DO HOWEVER, usually text later, saying sorry for the late reply, followed by the reason for that, and some sort of reassurance that she doesn't have to worry about this
I've had that thought so many times, like, the guys girls are usually into end up hurting them in some way, they break up, the guy does his thing and moves on to the next girl, and the girl is left with some trust issues towards guys in general. And for people like me, who mean well, but aren't so good at courtship stuff, it ends up being way harder
Thanks by the way, i see what you're doing in the other thread with that guy, i wanted to thank you privately, thought it was sweet of you, but the messaging system doesn't allow that.. Oh well
I also feel that way when I was still younger but as I grow older I began to understand that its not a big deal if he is not replying to my text immediately as long as he replies within the day.

same here talking in person is more stimulating
i get more outta a face time chat vs a text
Hah. I've been told by many girls that I became annoying when I replied too fast. Now I just dont talk to girls because its fucking pointless lol
Thats not why u stopped talkimg to girls
It's not necessarily playing hard to get. Some people get busy and just can't reply as quickly as you'd like them to. Have some consideration.
Most guys don't pay as much attention to their phones as females do

I don't care cuz it's usually me taking my time to respond to texts because I always struggle with convos
Um... it doesn't piss me off. I'm generally thinking that the guy is busy or maybe didn't see/hear the message. I know I miss the occasional message because I forget to check my phone.
Yeah but what if it's been 24 hours then they talk to you for two minutes then they stop again
I don't know. That's never happened to me.

I know what you feel :( its really hard to accept the fact that he doesn't into us if he not reply us really fast ;(

I DO HOWEVER, usually text later, saying sorry for the late reply, followed by the reason for that, and some sort of reassurance that she doesn't have to worry about this
I WISH more guys were like you 😭
I wish more girls liked guys like me 😝
We really do
Where are you all hiding then 😂
Under a rock crying over stupid men when real men like you is what we're looking for!

You Are 100% correct its such a messed up world
Thanks by the way, i see what you're doing in the other thread with that guy, i wanted to thank you privately, thought it was sweet of you, but the messaging system doesn't allow that.. Oh well
You're welcome! X
Yes you are right because we reply to people that make us laugh or tease us. So we get them more busy.
I also feel that way when I was still younger but as I grow older I began to understand that its not a big deal if he is not replying to my text immediately as long as he replies within the day.
Please send a messaga please!!!
@Deephousedennis
Why? Do you need something from me? You reply to me just to say to message you? Why not message me first.
Private please message me thank you
