Well, probably he's just busy. Depends how long it's for and what I need to talk to him about, or whether I'm worried about how he is for any reason. I don't want to pester if he just needs a little time to be quiet. But I also really like talking to him and miss him when I can't, so I'll send follow up texts if it's been a while. I wouldn't ignore him back, I'm not petty. If he texts me back really late and I'm free when I get it, I'll reply to him right then.
This is all in reference to the guy who I love (and is also my best friend) though. With other people I can be goddamn avoidant 'cause I'm very introverted
I would ignore back. It may seem hypocritical because I tend to not get back to people for various reasons---not one being "because I don't feel like it". It's sometimes taken me up to a week to respond to someone. I just don't look at my phone as much as many other people do.
But if I'm talking to someone at a steady pace and he simply vanishes for 5 days, not cool. Couple of hours is fine--everyone has a life.
First time, I'd give him the benefit of a doubt and persist. After that I'd have to assume he was ignoring me deliberately, which is incredibly rude. So I would probably just lose feelings for him anyways. Especially if he was ignoring texts that were emotional in nature. I don't want people like that in my life.
I mean, if he was just not replying to a statement, I'd let it go and just wait until he messaged me because he's clearly too busy.
But if I asked a question, and I saw he read the question, then I'd wait like an hour before bugging him about the question again.
Typically, I'll send a text, wait a day, send another then wait forever. If it's more important, I'll call her (and usually end up leaving a voicemail). I think this has only happened like three times since I've known her but I still remember the feels vividly.
I'll send them a text if i get no response, i'll wait a few days then try one more time, and if that fails well they've got my number if they want to talk i'm here if not then its their loss.

I sent them a text so the ball is in their court, I'm not blowing up their phone and I'm not ignoring them either, it's just up to them to get back to me.
Why give someone your attention or care when they ignore you? Ignore back! If they're meant to be in your life, they'll reply and make some effort.
I back off. Guys dont want drama. If they ignore then its not ment to be. I might try to reach out again in a few days but after that its not worth it.
If he didn't reply then I'm not going to text again. I'm just gonna wait for him to reply. If he just doesn't then its obvious he isn't interested
I'm actually being ignored right now lol. But I feel like he's not actually ignoring me, because he'll usually get my text and text me like 2-3 hours later and we will carry on a really good conversation that was totally worth the wait!!! I feel if someone doesn't text you, it has purpose, and it's nothing personal. Hope this helped :)
If I really like the person I talk to, i'll send another short text a little while after. But only one. more than one extra message after them not responding looks really clingy.
I might send another text just for the sake of explanation, but after that I will ignore and I won't send another text. But it really depends on the context.
I always send about one more text afterwards, in case they just didn't realize I texted them, but after that I just wait for them to reply.
If they ignore my text I wait for them to respond. They usually do.
If they don't I ignore it, unless I need to know something straight away.
it seriously depends on the guy... if its my crush i'll be persistent but if it's just a friend, i'll ignore back lol
It might take me longer to respond, but I'll get to it eventually. By ignoring me (purposefully, not because he was just busy) then why should I put in more effort? He was disrespecting me, so I will just treat him the same.
I don't know cause with my girl she not respond and leave me on read but always continues the conversation where we left off a few ours later I understand she's busy.
If it's a friend I'll be annoying as hell haha. If it's a crush, first offense I'll call her out teasingly once, then after that I'll probably forget her name by the time she responds!
Depends. Usually I just don't respond until they do. If they do. If not then I'm not gonna bother trying to talk to them when they're not interested.
Sometimes if I do think they're interested in me I'll message them once more.
But how would you know they're ignoring you? It's just a text. I just wouldn't text them, if it's important I'd just call.
If he just ignored one text then i would still text, but it was consistant i would ignore him. Ifv someone ignores me then i assume i am not on their mind, so i shut them out of mine.
Hmp... Ignore back... I hate when guys do that... I need to be talking back and forth... quickly hahah
Ignore back honstly no one deserve to follow even if she is your dream girl
I ignore back.
If I really really like him and then he sends another text... depending on what he says, I might reply back.
I'd not say anything back, because guys hate it when you double text them.
