What does it mean when guys reply on dating sites, but take ages to do so?

As a guy if I like woman and she replies to me, I do not reply right away, it means one of two things.

1. I am already chatting with someone else, and I do not want to juggle two chatting conversations at the same time with different women.

2. I like the pictures and gave her a like, because as a guy you got to like 20 women in order to get maybe one or two to respond. But after she responded, I look harder at her profile, and I decide that I am not interested.

He may not be online frequently, he may be concerned about appearing to be too eager, he may be messaging several other girls at the same time, he may not have a great interest in dating sites because his expectations are very low, he may be very busy with work or other personal commitments.

Thanks for MHO!

Most likely, there are a lot of people he is messaging, and it is not in his interest to give his time to one person.

It might not be on their phone and just on the computer. Some of us dudes are not phone junkies and we only touch the damn thing when we need it. My phone has all the social media shit turned off because my phone would be blowing up all the damn time.

Think about it... just from this site alone I'd have my phone going off with every damn retarded response or message. Someone likes my shit the phone would go off. No thanks.

I'm willing to bet he's using a ton of brain energy trying to come up with the right answer or response.

As in he's analyzing what you might say if he says a certain thing and getting stuck in a conversation in his head all without actually saying anything at all.

I've absolutely done that before.

Either that or he's in the middle of a game.

It means he hasn't logged on in a while. Or he's not interested.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

He could be involved with other girls, then messages you really hard to say but just be careful.

He has a life.

[Smashingdoozy]

That they have a life...

He's probably not all that into you.
