Why does he leave my Snapchat on delivered for so long?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been snap chatting this guy for a few weeks now and up until now he’s seemed pretty interested, asking questions, occasionally flirting (I think he may be a bit shy). He’s always taken a while to reply to my snaps but I noticed that his snap score will go up, sometimes by a lot, while he doesn’t open mine. Usually in the evenings when he’s not busy he’ll respond quicker and when he does open my snaps, he replies right away.

About two days ago he started barely snapping me and only really responding super late at night and saying he’s been really busy. He does have a really big race coming up next weekend. But while he’s taken all day to even open my snap, I can see that his score has been going up all day so he has time to snap others but not me. Do you think he’s playing hard to get or just not interested?

thanks for any help! (Refer to my other question for more info)

Why does he leave my Snapchat on delivered for so long?

This is a question that I'm sure many people have asked themselves at one point or another. There could be a few reasons why your guy leaves your Snapchat on delivered for an extended period of time. Let's explore a few of the possibilities.

1. He's busy

One possibility is that he's just busy and hasn't had a chance to open your Snapchat. This is especially likely if he's been active on other social media platforms or if you know he's been busy with work or school. If this is the case, then there's no need to worry – he'll eventually get around to opening your Snapchat.

2. He doesn't want to seem too eager

Another possibility is that he doesn't want to seem too eager. He might be playing it cool and waiting a while to open your Snapchat so that he doesn't appear too needy. This is a common tactic that guys use when they're trying to impress a girl, so it's definitely a possibility in your case.

3. He's not interested

Unfortunately, this is also a possibility. If he's not interested in you, then he might not be bothering to open your Snapchat at all. This is especially likely if he's been ignoring your messages or if you've noticed that he's been active on social media but hasn't opened your Snapchat. If you think this might be the case, then you might want to move on.

4. He's waiting for you to make the first move

Another possibility is that he's waiting for you to make the first move. This is especially likely if you've been chatting on Snapchat but haven't made a move to meet up in person. He might be waiting for you to suggest hanging out so that he knows you're interested in him.

5. He's just not that into Snapchat

Lastly, it's possible that he's just not that into Snapchat. Some people are less active on Snapchat and only use it to talk to close friends. If this is the case, then he might not be opening your Snapchat right away because he's not checking the app as often. So, there you have it – a few possible explanations for why your guy leaves your Snapchat on delivered for so long. Of course, only he knows the real reason, so you'll have to ask him if you want to know for sure.

I can understand what your point is and why you think the way you do.
From Personal Experience (as a Busy Guy) i can tell you that it has nothing to do with you. When im Busy i usually dont open Snaps from "Flirts", simply for the fact that i dont have the time to think about an appropriate Answer. Since i dont want to fotgett to Answer the Snap, i open it when I have time so the "new Snap" reminds me that there is something new.

Sounds like he wants to take some time and respond properly, rather than when he replies to his mates and can just type out a quick thoughtless answer

Several possible reasons.

One is that he just didn’t see the notification or that he saw it at a bad time and forgot it. Been there, done that… However, you said his snap score goes up which means he is active on the app… and then he definitely saw your notification.

Another possibility is that he just doesn’t has tim for YOUR snaps… and this is actually something positive!!
What I mean is that, maybe he works or studies and gets many snaps… he opens some of them cause they don’t really mean anything, they are not important or don’t need his attention… he replies to them cause everything takes 2 seconds. But YOUR snaps are too important to do that. He doesn’t want to open them when he is busy, cause he knows he wants to pay attention and reply in a good way. I have been on both sides if this so many times.

A third possibility, that unfortunately isn’t positive, is that he isn’t really into having that conversation with you but doesn’t want to be rude etc… also something I have been on both sides of many times.

I believe You have Answered your Own question Here, dear. He is Snapping others More but Not Much with You Because He is More into Them. I'd move on. xxoo

How about NEITHER. His life doesn't revolve around you and Snapchat.

[Asker]

Maybe not when you’re 47, but when you’re 21 it can

[spartan55]

Keep telling yourself that honey, it has nothing to do with age.

[spartan55]

I suppose @ChrisBo is too old to understand too?

[Asker]

Well he’s clearly within the age group that he’s able to have an opinion on Snapchat behavior. If you don’t, then I don’t know why you’re commenting. If you don’t want to be helpful or nice then don’t comment 😊

[spartan55]

If I don't what? Right, because I should just tell you what you want to hear, right? Learn to take some criticism. Did you even read @ChrisBo opinion to your question? It's similar to mine, and he is 'qualified'. You really believe that I know nothing about Snapchat because of my age? That's an ignorant statement. My kids are on that stupid app frequently, I know what it's all about, it ain't rocket science.

[Asker]

Because he gave his opinion without being rude.

[betchimightbe]

Spartan is right. Adults don't have time for snapchat

[Agagagagaga]

Young people get way too wrapped up in social media and use it as some kind of barometer for their relationship. It’s very bizarre.

There. Was I being rude?

[Hybridbox]

Occasionally when this hot girl snapped me I would wait to open it, sort of as a reward? like if I have a long day of school I will put opening it off until I get home so I can appreciate it more. Or maybe he's just busy

[joeND]

From what you said it sounds like he has many friends there on Snp. I don't use snapchat though

[Adronicus]

I only invest as much of myself as she does if I like her, if I feel unappreciated or unreciprocated I go cold too. Maybe he's different I don't know.

[WhitneySnow]

I think he’s playing hard to get

Men are not that much into Snapchat
