How do guys feel when a girl takes long to reply to a message\text?

[Youngm0ney]

Guys what goes through your head when a girl takes a long time to reply to a message\text? Do you get mad or talk bad about her haha like what do you guys do\say or think? I'm bad at replying fast and sometimes I'll have reasons and take long to reply and guys say it's fine but I feel like they hate it so much , lol so guys how do you feel about this?

If we're texting back and forth and you suddenly take 15 minutes to reply to the next message, then it's kind of annoying. Yes, I know things come up, but if you're gonna leave, at least say something before you go or when you come back.
If I text you first, then I understand that she doesn't reply instantly, because she may be doing something else since she wasn't expecting me to talk to her in that moment.

[Youngm0ney]

Yea that's understandable , good answer

[Mr187canada]

Depends if it's a girl I like and I want to further our relationship than I might get a little annoyed if she keeps taking long and just start to believe she just doesn't give a shit and move on.

A girl who I don't like and we're strictly friends only and nothing else, I don't really give a rats ass I am a slow texter to them anyways as well.

[Youngm0ney]

Yes very true , I'm like that too , I'll feel like he's not that interested

[lilcaine]

I personally reply pretty quick only because if I even text you or attempt to talk to you should make you feel special due to the fact I don't like people lol.

But when a girl takes a while to reply I feel as if I've said something wrong or she has lost interest. Or I feel like I'm just bothering her.

[Youngm0ney]

See that's what im afraid of lol I don't want guys to think I lost interest , some guys have thought they were bothering me , I don't want them thinking that :c

[lilcaine]

Then tell them from the beginning you have a bad habit of taking a while to text back.

[Youngm0ney]

I've told them haha yea good point

[lilcaine]

I mean of you go ahead and get the fact out there in the beginning then there shouldn't be any worry for the guy. I mean if he worry after you've told him that then there maybe something wrong in his head. Its also a good thing to say "sorry I was busy but I'm back now" that's usually what I do when I take a while to text back.

[Rcnesneg]

"She's probably busy."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No she is probably busy."
"Ugh this is killing me."
Then I usually stop checking much and I don't notice until a while after there is a reply.

I don't mind it but it makes me wonder why she's taking so long. I have often heard that when someone takes a second to answer you, instead of answering right away, it means they're lying. That they're trying to think of something to "tell you" rather than the actual truth. That's only what I heard, no idea if it's true or not. I try to answer as quick as I can. If that means immediately, then OK but if it means 24 hours later, she better not be pissed. Maybe I was busy with something, maybe I was sleeping etc.. she can wait, right?

Was watching Modern Family from last night, tonight (I DVR'd it). How come the girl next door didn't like when what's his name went out to get the paper, but ignored her?

[RCuber]

I personally don't have a problem with it because I am the same way.

[gapminder]

There's worse things to worry or think about so it means nothing to me.

[billosborn]

as long as you reply its fine.
