How to get a guy to reply to texts faster?

[Lilac79]

So my friend set me up with this guy,
we talked for a few days then hungout in a group. he told them he liked me and thought i was nice, funny, and attractive. everything was great until yesterday I sent kind of a weird text (cause I overthink everything so it was kinda awk cause i was like "but just let this person tell you themselves" and stuff) and I don't know after that things seemed alright but then he texted me later than he normally does and it took him an hour to reply to one text and now it's taken him two hours. How do I get him to reply faster? It's hard to get the relationship back if there's this much down time.

[confucious]

1. Ask him a question
2. Wait until he responds
3. Don't text back for a day.

When you text back the day after, get the conversation going until it gets really interesting again, then repeat steps 1-3.

No way does this work

[becca123]

Stop replying so quickly yourself. Seriously. It works.

[Lilac79]

I'm doing that right now, thanks girl

[becca123]

You'll see. Let him miss you and he will figure it out. They want what they can't have. Hit me up via message and keep me posted. I am doing a little research of my own :)

Oh and tips for non-boring texting:

Keep it short, seriously no more than two or three short sentences.

Avoid feelings and emotions; keep it light. Joke as much as you can; I am a master of one liner texts.

Don't get into detail. Say "I am tired" but NOT 'I am tired cause I got up at 5 and had breakfast and then I went to school and then..."

Avoid yes or no questions. They are conversational dead ends.

Think of interesting questions. "If you had three wishes..." "One place you want to visit and why..." and be ready because he will flip it back on you.

Engage him in stuff he likes. "That game was insane!" "What do you think of the Call of Duty update? I don't know if I like it." See how I gave an opinion before hearing his? Means I don't care what he thinks, this is what *I* think.

Know when to drop the conversation. Let HIM be the last one to text. Find a good spot and just stop. Things like "K" or emoticon answers ,= conversation over.

Lol silly kids texting isn't a relationship. You can't make anyone do anything you'll come to realize that sometimes guys aren't gonna be into you.

[Lilac79]

but he was into me as of two days ago?

[Opinion Owner]

Key word... WAS

[Lilac79]

guys can change their mind that fast? If he was uninterested that quickly, and we still text, seems like I can change his mind again right? So how do I do that?

[Opinion Owner]

In two days a person can easily change based on what the other person does. Stop stressing so much is the first thing you need to do, and dont think you have to DO something so a person will like you that's not good, a person who doesn't like you for you isn't worth your time. NEVER change for others.
just keep being yourself and dont stress the not texting back quickly thing that's silly.

You can ask him if he's busy with sth that distracts him from replying fast if not, tell him to reply faster but not in a creepy way, make sure the cconversation isn't boring

[Lilac79]

How do I make sure the convo isn't boring? I know this popular girl at school who's really good at texting guys but i can't ask her or anyone for help because she'll make fun of me. So can you help?

[Opinion Owner]

Get to know him from ques ask him about his past relationships, tell him more about you your favorite songs movies or anything, ask him what he likes, relate to what he says and stuff

[Sirisaac]

Text him about something interesting.

[Lilac79]

Like what? Like please, tell me, what do guys our age want to talk to girls about (besides sex! lolol) like we've talked about sports, our hobbies, I might talk about music.. might try and flirt a little bit but I'm not entirely sure how

[Sirisaac]

Just about how he is, how things are going, fun things he's done, just seem interested in him. And don't send nudes.

[mynameisblue]

Send your photos which is naked ^^

[StickStickity13]

"want nudes?"

[Lilac79]

lmao not helpful, but witty.

[StickStickity13]

It was a joke, but in reality there's almost nothing you can do since a lot of guys aren't glued to their phones compared to women

[Lilac79]

Lol, I'll give you that one
