Do guys ever feel obligated to text a girl back because she said so?


- I would never heed the wishes of a girl asking to text me back unless I was already into her, in which case, I would not leave her hanging on 'read' for long in the first place.Is this still revelant?
I don't know, generally my friends advise me not to look too overzealous when textimg a woman first. To hold back gives you the allure of having ambiguous intentions. You might just be playing into his hands by having these concerns over his texting habits

I mean, not really, if you like him & he likes you then it seems like a natural course of things. If he's like, a player, & you're becoming susceptible to being another notch in his belt-it would only be good for him. But I really can't tell just based on this information & I'm not that cynical or optimistic to assume either way
- Nah, if I don't want to talk I'll just reply whenever I feel like it and would be pretty cold.Is this still revelant?

What do you mean by "pretty cold"? it was over snapchat. I said "lol, you should really get better at streaks. You end it just when it starts." (something along those lines) and he said "Sorry, will do" and now we have a streak thats 6 days. But we don't just say "streaks" to each other (he doesn't reply to just streaks) he actually only replies to me when I actually start a conversation with him. But he has never ever texted me first and I'm confused if he's just replying cuz I said so and he's being polite.
By cold I mean short replies of 2-3 words, not asking about her, and basically not showing any interest in her.

When I ask him a question, he replies within 15 mins. Even when he's at work. He gives me an answer, says ha (which he does a lot even when I said nothing funny) and asks hbu. But he rarely ever initiates anything online. In real life though he compliments me a lot and his friend told me he talked about me and said good things. I have no idea what he's doing.

Hmm maybe he's just a bad texter :/ Does he talk a lot when you're together in person?

He doesn't ask me lots questions about myself, but when he sees a painting I did, or when I do good school/ sports, he always compliments me. Sometimes, he goes around to his friends and tell them what I'm good at too. I asked my crush's friend what my crush said about me, and other than some other compliments my crush gave me, his whole group of friends actually knew my parents had a restaurant in town and stuff. I've never told any of them that before. So I don't know if he knows stuff about me so he doesn't have to ask, if he in uncomfortable with asking, or isn't interested.
It does sound like he's interested. Maybe you should ask him to hang out just the two of you, so you can have a 1-on-1 interaction.
No problem :)
Honestly, I don't know. Maybe shyness? Or maybe he's just not someone who asks much. I don't know him so there can be different factors to why he doesn't ask you many questions.

29- Is texting your only means of communication?
If a girl said so, than I will respond better to be polite. But mostly I respond at my own pace.

- i usually respond when i notice/read the text, but if someone tells me i need to "get better at texting them" i'd either respond with a witty, sarcastic comment, myself-- or just ignore them.React

"But he has never ever texted me first"
ah, this gag meme... >__>
dw much about it, if dude has something he needs to say to you, he'll text you first ;)- Show All Show Less
well everyone does their own thing for their own reasons. if you don't ask him, chances are that you won't know.
- No self respecting guy will heel to you like that. As was already said, if we like a girl we WILL be fast on the reply.React

could you explain? cuz like I said, I told him he should get better at doing streaks. He only started a streak with me when I started asking him questions every single day and initiating conversation, but he never replied when I just said "streaks". Also, he never starts convo online. He only initiates convo in person.
