Would you continue to date a guy who took 24 hours to message you back twice in a row? ?

[Anonymous]

He didn't have a valid reason as to why he took so long. He did it twice to me in a row.

[DaveJord]

Okay, so honestly, I would never make a woman I care about wait 24 hours on a text massage... there just all type of rude assigned to that. I hate it when woman do it to me.

But with that said how long have you been talking to this guy, and are you two even dating or just talking?

Secondly how many times a day do you text this guy?

If it's more than 2 to 3 times a day, or more than 15 to 20 minutes of texting at a time several times a day... then you are over texting this guy.

Other people’s lives don’t revolve around us. Everybody is busy:

Some people can receive a text, make a mental note to read and/or reply to it in 10 minutes, or half an hour, but then get caught up in their day. I do it all the time.

He is still replying to you, but he also may have other options, so you can keep seeing how it goes, but perhaps don’t put all of your eggs into that basket just yet.
If it’s casual for him, make sure it’s the same for you.

It isn’t something to worry about too much. The two you had your own stuff going on before you met, and that hasn’t changed.

Relax about it and just see what happens.

Not unless he gave me a heads up ahead of time. Like when I put my phone in airplane mode, I text my regular friends to let them know so they won’t believe I’m annoyed at them if I ignore their messages for a few days.

[Summeroflove]

24 hours is a long time. Well I ain’t into men. But I can say if a woman did it… To me it shows she’s not really interested in me. If it was something important it would be very rude.


I don’t know it would depend on what it was. If it upsets you bad enough and you lost interest for him. Then just be done. If you can move past it then do so

[AviatorTom]

Why do you girls think that instantaneous response is required, and that anything other than that is disrespectful? Sometimes going slow is better.

[Peter_Penetrator]

Don’t worry about that. Set a date to meet away from screen time. I wish we could revert back to when phones were dumbasses.


Just meet up somewhere and converse face to face. If he won’t do that, dump his ass.


Only use your phone to set up dates. This way when you are face to face you have more to talk about.


Phones can’t raise your oxytocin levels. Look that word up.


Keeping off the phone makes him want you more. Phones make conversation so impersonal.

Wouldn’t you want that more?

[OfMiceandMen]

I would usually give her a head's-up the day before, if I am unavailable to chat/text the following day due to work, etc.

It is just common sense to message back, so that the other person doesn't worry about you.

Maybe give him some of his own medicine and fail to contact him for two days?

[EpicSnail]

On one hand, women often demand way too much time/attention from guys they date. It's like they want to take over your life before you even know each other. On the other hand, it sucks when people take you for granted and don't bother replying.

[Justin0192]

Reason 1: he might be loosing interest in you and doesn't see a point in texting you so often.
Reason 2: there is command knowledge in man for some reason, that we think we need to wait before texting back so you girls would miss us.
Best advice is just talk about this with him and you will get your answer

[stepyo99]

Men respond promptly to messages? Clingy, desperate.

Men wait to respond to messages? Why is he taking so long?

Women really have no idea what they want.

[es20490446e]

This.

[DizzyDesii]

I have before but will not again. If I don’t mean much then neither will you. Very few of my exes were dumb enough to disrespect me like this

[shades777]

I imagine Im simply not important enough to garner a reply, as I'm aware they did receive the message.


Take it however you want to take it

[Anonymous]

It depends how much he spends on you on the days that you see him.

You can use some basic maths to determine how much coin each guy is spending on you on a daily or even hourly rate to get a clearer picture of their value to you.

[Adam1978]

If you can't wait 24 hours don't use texting as your means of communication. He hasn't done anything wrong and he doesn't need an excuse.

[Nikki1989]

I wouldn't date anyone that thinks texting is communication.

[Asker]

What is your answer? I didn't understand

[noohair]

Your expectation on texting is completely distorted. Like you are the only person in the world? Other people have busy lives and it is a freaking text. Grow up please. The world does not revolve around you.

[AMS700CX4u2]

Sometimes answering text is not a priority. Job responsibilities? Family Obligations?

[jshm2]

He's only your boyfriend, not your fucking husband; you control freak!

[Jazzy54]

Hmm. That’s a tough one. Maybe he had work or other things going on.

[zagor]

If you judge a guy by the stopwatch on his messages then you're not good enough for him regardless.

[Anonymous]

It was twice not like he does it all of the time so yes I would

[superboi118]

Id let it go this time but dudes will sometimes purposely not text you back right away as a tatic to make themselves look "not needy" or "high value"

[Anonymous]

No. People are on their phones several times a day throughout the day, nobody is ever too busy. You’re just not a priority so fuck them.

[spartan55]

A "valid reason"... you his boss?

[es20490446e]

Do you think a day is too much?

[Manuel2]

Syop stressing and acying so desprate.

[SpaceGalaxy]

3rd time is the charm

[Anonymous]

Nope.

[brandon1122]

No, I won't
