Don't read too much into it he could be busy, or he could just be not interested. 3 weeks is nothing. I had a guy do that for 4 months. We went on 3 dates in that time (I'm a college swimmer so it was hard finding time, and we lived a littler over an hour apart too) but all of the sudden he just stopped texting me, no reason what so ever. It sucks I really do know. I was also dating this other guy. And we agreed to wait to do the relationship thing until we went back to school. The last text he sent me was ill text you later. Then over the course of two months, he hasn't responded to any of the 4 texts I sent him. All just simple questions.

He may have been getting too distracted with his everyday life and needed to snap back to reality... or he may have also needed to focus on other things instead of spending most his energy texting. Especially if he is ambitious, hard working and/or a busy guy... Just give him a bit of space for a while, and then call him up one day and just ask to hang out! Don't ever mention that he hasn't been texting you back... you want to appear as if you also have a lot of exciting things going on with your life. Guys find that attractive! :) Let me know how it turns out!! :)

Possibility 1. He's keeping his options open whiles keeping you at a distance by keeping in touch with pics but not the intensity of convo.
Possibility 2. He has found someone else he could possibly want to give a go but doesn't know who to slow things down to a stop with you... Guess he's hoping "you will get the picture..." Catch my drift?
Other than this, if he is a good guy he might just think things are going a little two fast for him and he is trying to slow it down without being to obvious... But coming off as lane and immuature.00 Reply

I never stop texting a girl just out of the blue. It can be down to the fact that he is busy. I went away for a weekend last week and couldn't text a girl for two days after texting her every other day for about 2 weeks. He might be waiting to see if you text first as well cause sometimes if guys feel like they are putting in all the effort and you're not putting in as much they will fall back slightly to see if you'll but the same effort in as well (in this case if you'll text first). He could have lost his phone though this is unlikely. If it's all been going well though then don't worry cause I'm sure he still likes you if he did in the first place!

Maybe his phone isn't working, maybe he forgot too pay his phone bill, etc. Did you message him on Facebook? Texting someone EVERYDAY is time consuming and can honestly get really boring, predictable and repetitive. Maybe he's taking a break, which is good. So the next time you talk, you'll be full of new things too text/talk about. Good luck!

Big question is: during those 3 weeks, did he ask for a date? if he did and you turned him down, he got bored and isn't an idiot who wastes his time chasing women who won't meet up.
If he didn't ask for a date, then he's a moron who dosent have the balls to make a move and was hoping you would do it for him, you probably did not so he got tired of waiting or assumed you dont like him and gave up.32 Reply- Asker+1 y
No he never asked for a date, but told me that he loved talking to me and was really starting to like me, like he'd ask me if I wanted him to text me in the morning and I was like if you want to and he said I defiantly do. I was just confused why would you not text me but send me a snapchat this morning?

Other possibility is he is busy, dont assume it has to do with you. People have lives, and his dosent center around your (i hope not).
Either way, being honest here, he sounds like a moron if he is just wasting his time talking to you like this. He is either waiting for you to make a move for him or magically trying to build the balls to ask you out.
Either way, dont panic if he dosent respond, he might be busy, going through a tough time, maybe his SMS service got cut and he needs to redeem it. Lots of possibilities darlin.

Texting is boring. Your goal with texting should be to flirt a little, get the other person thinking about you (which can be done with just a few or even just one text message), and that's your way of letting him know you want to go on a date. You should not be trying to build a relationship over text, it is simply a tool you can use to help schedule a time to meet up and have a relationship (whether it's business, friendship, casual dating, exclusive dating, whatever).
Just one simple text a couple times a week is fine "Hey sexy! I was just thinking about you and I can't wait for our date tomorrow. Have a great day!" or "I had so much fun with you last night! Hope you're having a good day!". As a woman, that's all you need to text him. If he likes you he will respond back with something sweet as well, and if you don't already have a date he will schedule one with you. Keep texting simple, short, and to the point.21 Reply- +1 y
good advice. I'll take note of that too. LOL
Trust me. Guys are jerks. Let me tell you a little story of what I've been going through. I've met this one guy online over a month ago and it seemed like he totally liked me to almost being obsessed with me and couldn't go a day without talking to me. We finally saw eachother last Sunday and we also kissed. I went home.. A day later.. He basically became another person. he stopped texting me and showing effort, he also wouldn't answer me if I tried talking to him. I was devistated.. Don't trust these assholes. My only advice.. Make him go after you if he really likes you, or else: dump his ass. You don't want to end up like me lmao

Crap advice. Women have done exactly the same and worse to me. It's called not being interested, and the only reason you wasted so much lifespan is that women want to take it slow.
1) He got busy
2) He suddenly lost interest
2a) Because he found another girl
2b) Because he realised this was not what he wanted
3) He's playing mind games.
Anyway it's a bad thing. If I was chatting with a girl that I absolutely adored, and I might be held up from replying for a long long while, I would either give warning first, or apologise profusely as soon as I got back.
Since he didn't do any of that, his silence may be intentional. I would not trust that guy. You don't just go 180 degrees on the conversation mood just like that.01 Reply- +1 y
I bet its 2a. Harsh reality is, if a guy is interested in you for real he's probably not going to waste 3 weeks texting you, most likely he was bored or lonely and you were available. Unless you guys went on dates and he made it clear he wanted to be with you it probably wasn't as serious as you thought.

Texting, it can get a little tedious, and is an awful way to communicate - it shouldn't be your main form of communication with someone you are very close to.
No matter how close you are to someone, there's only so much you can express in a text - it can get frustrating for a guy (only my opinion as a guy here)
Try something new, like sending selfies instead of texts - maybe that's what he is trying, so try it with him. Or spend some real time talking to them in person - it's far more enjoyable than words on a screen.
He might even enjoy something more hands free when you aren't together - Skype or calls with a headset for example
Try to discover the most enjoyable way to communicate between yourselves, good luck10 Reply - Anonymous(36-45)+1 y
Maybe he's nervous about how to impress you. Also he may be worried that he is initiating all the time.
if you like him, maybe initiate too and then he may feel more comfortable to text. All the better if you text him a flirty text now as it'll make him feel wanted.
Otherwise he may be changing the medium if he used a different way to contact you.
Guys can get nervous that a girl thinks of them as a friend and not flirtily.

Texting can get really annoying. You're trying to do something else (cook, play a game, exercise, whatever) and yet you have your phone buzzing nagging you to answer. You feel guilty about ignoring them so you stop what you're doing and respond. Then they might not respond for ten or so minutes so you're back into your activity when you get interrupted again.
It's not always like that but there are times when you just want to have some time to yourself.20 Reply - +1 y
Maybe he is taking a break. I do that sometimes, i get overwhelmed at looking at a computer since i'm an administrative assistant. Also, I'm sure he has other things to do so maybe one of those took a lot of his time today. If you really want to, text him. Guys don't always have to make the first move.

Guys pull away when they don't know what they want. Whether there's an old ex in the picture, he's starting to really like you, or he's not ready, there are many reasons. Just don't dwell on them, and move on for the time being. Or you will drive yourself crazy. I've been in the exact same boat..

Maybe he lost some interest. Talking with someone everyday is not always the best because people get bored. However, don't worry, it doesn't mean he's not interested anymore. Give him space if it seems like he wants it and text him less often or wait for him to text you. If he misses you, he'll text you :)

i feel for you. Men are complicated beings. It could be like some others were saying, that maybe he's busy. He could have a job that keeps him super busy, or the worst and i hope least likely... maybe he's just not that into you. Guys are challenging. I've heard that if a man really likes a woman he would jump through hoops to be with her. But then again, he could just be busy, or maybe something happened in his personal life.
Hope you find out soon00 Reply - +1 y

He's probably trying to get you to take a hint that he doesn't like you, that is if he's reading your texts. If he's not reading them then he's probably really busy or doesn't have time to answer. He will talk to you when he's ready. Give him time.

Same thi ng happened to me. I snapchatted a guy and we had a 20 something day streak. One day he just stopped. It was really hard at the beginning. He kind of dumped me I guess. Even though we weren't dating. He could just not want to talk anymore.

He's probably got fatigued from too much texting. Happens to everyone, get too many texts, and sometimes you just can't be bothered answering back for a bit. Send him something funny or interesting that you've done in a few days.

I wouldn't read into it. Its only being a day. He probably has just run out of things to say to you. If you two don't do things outside of texting, then the relationship will fall apart anyway.

This happened to me. I straight up asked him the reason behind him avoiding me and all he said was that he got too attached and adictted to me. (Which was a lie) and the truth was, he is actually seeing another chick. He said he was sorry for his actions but I just asked him to fuck off.

I think you are taking this too seriously. It's great that you two were texting every day but that rarely continues because how much can you really say over text? He may still want to but is busy.
00 Reply If it's only been a day, don't worry about it. I was going through the same thing with this guy I'm currently seeing. Haha it sucks right? It literally ruined my mood for the entire day. Also don't be afraid to initiate a conversation with him unless you're constantly the one initiating. If that's the case, hold back for a bit. It should go both ways.
00 ReplyHe got bored of you! Lol
Or maybe he just does not want to be the 1st one to always text... You got to be the 1st one to text him because he might think he is bothering you... You know what I. mean00 ReplyMaybe he is sick of constantly having to take the initiative and text you first?

I don't mind long texts and emails but whenever I text a guy It always leads to me asking him out, maybe a date happens, but usually NOTHING happens so I've gotten to the conclusion that most guys don't want texting to go anywhere.
