Can you take a hint when someone leaves you on read or ignore that they don’t wanna talk to you or do you keep trying anyways until they do?

Question

Give it up already or block them.

Still-alive · Accepted Answer

I usually give a person 2 serious tries at talking to them in the beginning but if they do not respond to either then yeah i move on.

If they did it after really getting to know them for awhile... thats pretty shitty. ill pretty much never talk to them again even if they tried again. Just put the big pants on and tell me directly that its over ok is my advice to all you 'ghosters' out there.

Juxtapose · Accepted Answer

I like to harass them a bit because I don't respect pussies who ignore me.

DaveJord · Answer

Honestly if they don't want to talk to you then they should just block you... but when I sent a text that is not responded to then yes I take the hint. I usually follow up with a good morning text for the next day or so... just because what's the harm of that?

But NO as in ABSOLUETLY NOT, I don't send them more then on or two messages without a response and by the 5th day I block them.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

Please, the moment I get a "don't bother me" vibe, I back off!
Honestly I don't care unless I need an urgent response from them... then I might poke them again to "remind" them.

But otherwise? I take being left on read as they have nothing else to say, they're busy, or they don't want to talk. Fine with me, lol. The antisocial in me is not bothered by that 🤷‍♀️

Charlesbrandonf · Answer

It’s your call how you take it. They’re who they’re to you. If you want to block it your call, if it’s how they’re to everyone, it’s how they’re simply. If they’re doing to you, there must be a reason. If it’s happening unintentionally they must be busy.

Just don’t invest so much energy on replies if like them then just message them every time you feel like messaging them, tell them everything. Just don’t expect much replies in return. One day they’ll miss you. As long as they’re not sending offensive replies, it’s okay. No reply is also a reply. They might just don’t how what to say or how to say.

My friends don’t text a lot. I don’t call a lot. I text all the time though it’s one side texts, but they read and get the message from me. So we are good. No hard feelings no one hurt.

Xoxocutekitty · Answer

When I was younger, I couldn't because I really thought the best of people. I used to hang on to those work, family, car breaking, so stressed, etc excuses

Now, if they aren't trying then I'll end it for them, so I can find someone better. Next!

Angelgurl101 · Answer

Yes. I can take a hint sometimes we go through things in life and we isolate ourselves from others because we need our space but after a while after I called you several times and left several messages I will just let it go because I assume that you don't want to be bothered with. I get so tired of hearing I was busy there are 24 hours in a day. It takes a couple of minutes out of your day to pick up the phone. I worked a job 7 days a week over 60 hours a week and I still made time to call people. There is no excuse we make time for what we want to make time for.

misfittoy · Answer

depends if its for work or my own life. if its my own life i move on only to have the person try to grovel back then its block, spam folder, move on. if you read it at some point that day no reason to not answer back. if its over work i hound, till they reply back

tony_baloney · Answer

For me it's less about taking a hint and more so that I don't crawl up peoples ass for attention. I'm not gonna jump through hoops to get someone to talk to me. Taking the hint comes after a bit of time in realizing that they're just not going to respond

ZackBan · Answer

I used to try just once more when enough time has passed.
These days I noticed that sometimes if I try again out of the blue i could get a response. That being said it depends on the person and how we left things.
I can take a hint if someone doesn't wanna associate with me, but when dealing with someone who's a relative stranger sometimes they genuinely do get busy, in which case I'll try again but not too many times

NathanDavis · Answer

my friends know better not to ignore me... lol I will show up at their houses, I know where they live

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Women's signals are all too different. One woman's yes is another's no.

I've talked with and dated enough women that I don't read into texting behavior too closely. If she leaves me on read but is friendly in person; I'll ask her about how to interpret her silence on texting. If she's also weird in person, I take the hint.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I don't follow? What exactly you asking? I'm not a big texter. If someone sends me a text I respond when I see it (I keep my phone silent a lot). If I send someone a text and they don't respond they don't get another one till I do. So if someone's ghosting me I really don't know it. Because i only give people in my life the importance they give me.🤣

Lionman95 · Answer

Yes I can though I often realise it way earlier when I write like a paragraph and they just reply with single lines or just an emoji.

But generally I became better realising who is interested in a talk with me and who isn´t.

VIVANT · Answer

With anything, I try once more then leave it.

Biancam13 · Answer

Yes I get the hint. Especially if it's a romantic interest or something like that. If it's my friend or it's an emergency and we have that sort of relationship though, I will keep bugging them because I know they wouldn't mind.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t read anything into actions, let alone inaction. Take everything at face value and move on with your life. It doesn’t matter WHY they’re not responding. They’re just not responding. Get over it. You can’t control people. If it makes you feel better, imagine they’re dead. Then if they do finally reach out it’s good news, “You’re not dead!”. Ell oh ell!

Fuentes · Answer

I don't have crushes but if I'm tryna fuck and they don't respond I'd block. I also don't respond to one word replies it's end of conversation to me.

Thelastsoda · Answer

No point In having an conversation with yourself , so don’t text her if she didn’t respond to the first one.

I would just cut straight to the case , and tell her I understand she has a lot going on , and maybe it’s not the right time , and go from there.

Zolly99999 · Answer

Yes for the most part.. if someone leaves on read I will wait a few days then say hi and if that gets left on read then I delete the conversation and move on.. people get busy so I give them the benefit of the doubt on the first one. .

D-Pad_Chad · Answer

If they're not willing to talk over the phone they're not worth it. Texting and social media are a waste of time in my opinion

Petedavidsonfan · Answer

There’s some where you don’t know if the person read it or not, so with those I never truly know if the person is ignoring me.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I don't pressure women/girls into talking to me once they tell me like it is I get the message I think it's bad when guys/men do that to ladies.

Guardian45 · Answer

No, I can't take a hint when someone leaves me on read or ignores me and don’t wanna talk to me.

I will invaribly keep trying anyways until they do respond.

I'm neurodivergent, so I don't process things like normal people do.

dustybiker · Answer

AddylynnNightingale · Answer

I have the take it or leave it mentality. If they're too late, they're too late.

TheVigilantOne · Answer

If someone just ignored me I just delete and forget about them.

beebella · Answer

I leave them alone unless I really have to tell them something. 😅

BJP21 · Answer

Right away. I don't get into an emotional drain as to why she never replied back. They will reply instantly if its the other way around.

pizzalovershouse · Answer

I say if there is no connection why keep trying

Insaniacthemaniac · Answer

Well i mean if your not certain why not ask them? If your already considering blocking him anyways, what have you really got to lose? Hope the helps! :) -Insaniac
