Why do girls ignore / miss messages?

[Bran_]

Hello there,

I got a girls number after I met her through sports; we got on well in person. I hit her up and started talking to her.

She reciprocated the interest, and I talked to her for a bit, found out a little bit more about her. Replies were pretty fast, but it was late, and a Saturday night of drinking.

I didn't hear from her for about 12 hours, then she apologies for the slow reply saying she'd been hungover all day. Her reply was full of "hahahaha"s and was decent overall. I replied. I've now been waiting over 24 hours for a reply, and I've seen that she's been online on her phone.

Why would a girl seem even a bit interested, then fail to reply? Do girls just ignore messages? How can you miss messages, even if you're getting loads?

I don’t like to say this but maybe there is no conversation chemistry. Most women love to reply back if they’re interested in someone and when they don’t, they’re probably not into the conversation. I would suggest not giving her attention if she’s asking for it so that way you don’t get left on read each time. Make her want your attention where you maintain your self respect. Conclusively, if you find her more attractive than her conversations then I would re-evaluate your interests in a person in general. I say this because conversation chemistry is appreciated in the long run.

It's only been 24 hours. There maybe a reasonable explanation but sounds like she losing interest.
How many messages have you sent? Sounds like you may have over done it

Sometimes it could be for reasons as stupid as playing 'hard to get'...
