Question

Why girls? Thanks in advance

This is a very good question you have asked, and this is a very common problem that people face while conversing with one another.

I am going to be very honest and straightforward in my reply. There can be many reasons such as:

1. May be she is not very good or effective with communication skills

2. May be girls don't really prioritize replying to messages as a standard, may be they think it's not important that they reply at the earliest they tend to reply at their will hoping the the guy won't mind waiting and sometimes or many times the wait takes much longer which further annoys the guy.

3. Some women just like to play these mind games, just the test the guy and it's very immature. May be some women like to do this on purpose.

4. It's possible that the woman is really not as interested in having conversations with you compared to you having interest in conversing with her.

5. Forgetting to reply ( a big excuse, a stupid excuse)

6. Being busy ( they will almost always say this whenever you ask them).

Yes, agreed sometimes the woman can be busy, but then saying that reason more often than not is an excuse, because the same reasons if used often starts becoming an excuse and moreover one cannot be 24X 7X 365 days busy, it's not possible so this is another big excuse women use.

Hence if you come across a woman who uses " I am busy" as a reason always then you should understand it's an excuse.

I can understand this and yes it's frustrating, irritating to message someone who takes forever to reply or makes you wait for a long time before replying and one should never tolerate such people who do that. Some people, some women purposely like giving late replies and they tend to think that they have their " ENTIRE LIFETIME" to reply and they also think that the guy will keep waiting forever for the replies to come, that's just an immature thinking on their part.

I know and I have had a few experiences with such women who are poor at communication skills and they take forever to reply and they also expect the guy to wait forever for their replies to come, I have come across a few women on the internet and I have learnt this from experience. The moment I come to know this , I break off contact with them immediately.

Hence a small suggestion to you would be never tolerate such women who take forever to reply, who make you forever for the replies. It's better to be alone instead.

Comparatively speaking ^^. Just a small suggestion, so please don't mind

Or maybe she's just not glued to her phone and does other things?

I use to have a habit of doing that. If something was said in the recieving message that I had to think on for awhile or to decide how I want to word something. Generally the loger the recieving message the more time it takes to reply.

But your method of communication might play a factor as well. For example with facebook messaging I know people can see if I had recieved their message so I would feel pressured to respond sooner.

That's so me @Akadatank44 i reply in my head. But my hands haven't caught the drift. So i end up not replying at all when i thought i did. there is also the "I'll get back to you late!" reply. Read it and then wait...  there is more the story.. just ask her I do it because of those two things.. and also because sometimes the timing can be wrong and i forget.

I dont do that to people coz I hate it when its done to me xD BUT if I do it in rare cases then its coz someone called me when I read the message or I got busy or someone's talking to me to I have to look up to them instead of the screen, but yeah, thats it basically

rosedream · Answer

Being a girl, I'm experiencing guys doing that. Basically, no matter what gender someone is, its just his or her habit. Some people want to show that they are not eager to text you. Or maybe they still dont have the answer as soon as they saw your message. I'm a girl but I never do that. If I dont want to respond, I leave it unseen a long time or open it immediately and never reply.

Stardust143 · Answer

Sometimes, even though I've read it, I'm in the middle of doing other things and can't respond properly, need a while to think it over, or can't get into a conversation at that time. And then I might forget to reply until I check my messages again.

DarkHumorRUs · Answer

My good female friend told me she sometimes just forgets. Like, she'll get the message, be doing something at the moment, then go to sleep forgetting to reply.
Usually she'll reply the next day.

I don't know I imagine they usually just overthink their response then forget to reply or something.

Tenseven · Answer

I don't wait unless I haven't seen the text come through or some other good reason. I don't play those games.

Heera · Answer

Some of them are immature and think they're more desirable if they play "hard to get"  But she might be just busy or something. You know her better

MissFabulous · Answer

It's usually cuz I'm either in the middle of something or thinking & writing a response. :)

LaVilaine · Answer

Usually when I do it, it's to tell the dude that I'm not interested in him without having to make things awkward.

kittykatbrat · Answer

I have a real phobia about all messages that aren't work related. I delay checking them for as long as possible.

TripleAce · Answer

Sometimes its done without even noticing and other times it could be a display of superiority. Depends

NYkid27 · Answer

I think it's usually because they're not very interested in the conversation or they're busy. I don't know why else it'd take someone a long time to respond

Anonymous · Answer

rachel1112 · Answer

Some girls do that because they don't want to look desperate, but me: Sometimes I busy so I can't reply to the message immediately

Princeofanons · Answer

Some people are just bad at texting or not as interested as you think they are to you

anonman32 · Answer
