Lol once waaayyyy back in the day (like 10th grade) I left my now-husband on read for like 2 months and he didn't give up on me. Like... we weren't even dating at the time.

Clearly we had our issues that needed to be sorted out before we could be together lol

[Asker]

Aww that sounds like a love story. What do you do to fix those issues y'all had?

[Prettygurl12]

Honestly it was just a maturity issue. We were young. We just grew up.

[Asker]

Unfortunately it seems like some people just never grow up. I hope you and your husband have a great marriage.

I'd wait a month, but I know a lot of people may not

[Asker]

So you'd still wait a month even if they on their socials, and talking to other people the whole month?

[potatoiswhoiam]

Not as in sit and wait in front of the phone for a message from him, but more like not talking to other guys, just in case there's something in their personal life going on, or I don't know, just giving them a chance to explain themselves to me if they have a good enough reason for it. But if a month passes and they're still not replying I'd just leave it be and assume I'm ghosted, won't care if they come back or not cuz I have my pride too

[Asker]

Ok, thanks for answering. I personally feel the same way.

There are times that things can happen that they have to spend all there focus on, or he away for a while. That said, I would say the most if the time, they should be able to respond with in a week

[ValleyofDrakes]

If I have to message you three times with no answer after a decent period of time, I'm done with you.

[Asker]

Yep I agree, no point in chasing someone that won't respond back

[MrNameless]

Not enough context? Generally I'd say I'd text at least once more before giving up, but I'd think about how you text someone too and make sure its engaging.

If you find yourself always initiating texts and/or the conversation isn't going anywhere, then I'd consider backing off. But make sure you have tried at least made the conversations engaging, because the quality of conversations matter

[MrNameless]

Take care of the situation they are in and if their life is busy.

If you see them logging in on other social media while leaving you on read the next day, I'd back off and move on

[Nahid1707]

I wouldn’t wait for a text back

[Asker]

So your just keep texting them til they answer then?

[Nahid1707]

No I’ll leave it
Stop texting them

You know?
