He said ttyl and that was 3 days ago?

[Anonymous]

So I don't know what's happening my crush who I have kissed in the past wanted my number a while ago but I didn't have a phone then so when I got one I popped up and said I've got a phone what's your number? And he said "that's sick court, mine is..." And I texted him and we had a brief convo Tuesday and then he ignored me from 12 until 8pm and then messaged me a lot asking about my weekend and asking me how I'm doing and what I'm up to and then stated he had to go to football practise and said "hey I've got football practise, I'll ttyl" and that was three days ago, what happened to talking to me later? Also before he said bye he asked about my weekend and seemed interested in knowing what I might be doing and then immediately after my reply said ttyl, what's up with that? I'm a very negative person so I think he's blowing me off but the whole time I was texting him my friend said he's definitely interested and she doesn't know why I don't agree what do you guys think! Thanks by the way

I don't think this guy 'ignored' you from 12 to 8pm... He was more likely busy and you shouldn't feel so compelled to count every second between your messages. 8 hours is like a normal shift at work, so even though he may not be working, he could have been doing anything in that time to keep him away from texting you. The fact that he messaged you after that kinda confirms this, so I don't think you need to worry about that! :o)

It's good that he messaged you a lot to ask you about your weekend, how you are and what you've been up to, but maybe he just said 'talk to you later' as a figure of speech, rather than meaning it literally? I sometimes say to people 'catch you later' even when I know that I'm not going to see them for the rest of the day... I sometimes say it to people when I leave work for example, even though I won't be seeing them again till the next day, or perhaps longer than that. It's possible that you're reading too much into that specific part of his text and perhaps he didn't mean it literally, and therefore wasn't ignoring you as such.

As for asking about your weekend and then saying 'talk to you later', again he might just be checking in with you and showing an interest, without wanting to pester you as such? Be grateful for the fact that he is thinking of you and talking the time to message you in the first place... I doubt he would do that if he wasn't somewhat interested in you! :o)

Although his intentions are not fully known to anyone other than himself, I would be inclined to listen to your friend, who is more impartial in this situation. Enjoy chatting with this guy and see where it goes, but try not to get too caught up in analysing every word of his text and the seconds between messages! lol I hope that helps you somewhat... :o)

Thank you! Oh I didn't mean to imply I was waiting for a text, infact it showed me that he read my text and he didn't reply so I deleted his number figuring he was done talking to me now and that was at 12 when he read my message so he did infact "ignore" me for 8 hours, I meant it in a literal term I wasn't just being clingy :) thanks so much tho

[Asker]

Deleted his message* not number haha I'm not that extreme

[cheeky_starfish]

You're welcome! :o) All I would say is that to suggest that someone is 'ignoring' you is to imply a negative action on their part... He may not have been 'ignoring' you, just waiting for the right time to reply, perhaps when he has more time to compose his thoughts in a message. I suppose only he himself knows why he didn't reply sooner, but either way he seems to like you from what you've said... I hope it works out for you! :o)

[Asker]

Ok thanks

[Jbunch]

I wouldn't get to into it. Have you tried sending him a message first, and seeing if he ignores that? I am someone who is notorious for looking at someones message, and not replying for a very long time. I don't do it to ignore someone intentionally though.

[Asker]

Oh ok

With "Hey, I've got football practise, I'll ttyl," I know from this seasonal sport that they get very busy, there is a lot going on. And with the 'Goodbye' Greeting that sounded more like a 'Blow off than a Touch down, I am sure you are a bit steamed with his 'three days' ago and Still Counting----No contact.
If he was asking you things about your weekend, he May have thought he was free, but didn't want to Commit himself and have to Let you down, so he thought it best to just Say nothing, rather than score no brownie points Period. And with 'ttl,' there usually isn't Time frame attached to the "l."
Wait it out a little longer. However, don't clutch your cell holding your breath with a guy who is in Practice, Then weekend games soon after. You could get bored real quick, sitting twiddling your thumbs. Or rather fight fire with fire, you could show some initiative and Begin your own Beguine by going to a few of his 'Go get him' games.
My motto in life has always been: If you can't beat 'em----Join 'em.
Good luck. xx

[Asker]

Thank you very much!

[Paris13]

You're so welcome, Blaisexx... You go, girl. xx

[Asker]

:) you too

I wouldn't worry. If he likes you he will make the effort if he doesn't he won't. People do not text everyday everyone is different. I sometimes don't text people for a week or more doesn't mean I do not like them. I am not a texting person. But everyone is different.

Main Point:
Do not rely or let social media be your center that's how a lot of women lose a lot of perspective on life and relationship (this texting rules is weird and confusing for everyone-do not rely on it). Just enjoy your life do yoga, gym, draw, travel... Let things happen naturally and don't worry about it. I am very sure he isn't as worried as you. He is doing what I am trying to tell you.

I hope the best for you keep staying strong and focused.

[Asker]

Thank you

[Nujabes123]

Yeah he's probably really busy or waiting for you to text him first.

[Asker]

Ok, thanks:)

[Asker]

You don't think he was just blowing me off?

[Nujabes123]

no problem :)

[Nujabes123]

The only way to really know is if you ask him if he's interested. Cause you'll be really upset if you end up waiting a long time for someone that already moved on so the best thing is to ask him where you guys stand.

[StickStickity13]

-is very busy
-doesn't want to look desperate
-not interested
Those are the 3 most likely scenarios.

[Asker]

Ok thanks

[ChiefWahoo]

Was unaware that "ttyl" had a time limit

[Asker]

Ttyl doesn't necessarily mean an hour later but it definitely doesn't mean I'll talk to you in three days ! I've never said that to someone if I didn't initially mean I'll legit "talk to you later"

[ChiefWahoo]

I'm just sayin'

[ChiefWahoo]

Why are you white, trying to act black?

[Asker]

That is completely irrelevant, who's acting black? That's very ignorant of you to assume like that

[ChiefWahoo]

Your profile, spitting rhymes, as if you're a rapper

[Asker]

Omg no! Lol sorry mc didn't know I was invading your space with the rhymes, clearly you're a master! Blaise is my middle name and it would make sense if you knew me! Also the second part is not even mine it's an old school song, they aren't even my lyrics boo so don't get mad, calling me black and shot

[Asker]

Shit*
