10 minutes-1 Hour- She’s distracted or busy. Maybe she’s sleep or at work.
24 hours- She’s not obligated to reply fast. I won’t throw a fit.
48 hours-Maybe she got hit by a bus or something. I’m pretty awesome. Don’t know why she wouldn’t respond.
I used to get upset after being left on read but then I started dating more girls. I’ve had girls reply days after a text and ended up dating them. I’ve had girls reply fast but never followed through with dates. You don’t know until you know. There’s too much stress with worrying about it. I just wait.
The relationship matters too. If it’s a girl I just met, I never send another text after being left on read. I just wait because I’ve met a lot of girls who surprised me. If I don’t get a reply I write her off and move on.
If it’s someone I’m dating or in a relationship, being left on read for a long time has been the precursor to a breakup 90% of the time. You get this gut feeling. I mentally prep, get it over with, cry for a week then move on. The other 10% of the time it’s been emergencies or phones getting broken/lost/replaced. A girl I was dating once put her phone on top of my car and i forgot it was there before driving away. While I was thinking she ghosted me, she was looking for her phone 😂😂😂
LOL if she is smart she will delete that fool... not keep him on read. "What's up" is what you say in the 7th grade.
Maybe my tolerance and standards are way too high... lol
First of all: "What's up?" is a stupid and pointless question. Even I would not respond to it most of the time. I have always lived by the motto "Dont talk, if you dont have something to say"
When I write something, it always has to has a purpose. A question to her, or something that has happened in my life. Something she can actually respond to.
If she kept that on "Read", I would not be bothered, because there are just two possibilities:
1.) she is busy and will respond later
2.) she is not interested and will never respond.
In both cases, continuesly keeping to write her would not solve anything. In case of the first option, I would only stress her more, while in the second one, I would only annoy her more.
Depends, if I've been speaking to them for a while then I'll probably message again but, if first message or minimal talking, I wouldn't care much tbh, just move on.
But yeah, I can't really say unless I knew the exact situation. I don't get "strong attraction" too quickly, I save that for someone who would actually respond to a first message, and someone who tries.
Honestly that's one of the most disrespectful things that can be done to someone. There's not reason to not message the person and either tell them you're not interested, busy, need time to yourself, whatever the case may be. Leaving someone on read shows that you don't respect them enough as a human being to tell them what's going on. If I am left on read, I will continue to reach out to find out what's going on until I'm either blocked, or they tell me what's going on.
It's okay. I dont expect you to always remember or respond to me. But if you are with me... be more mindful of me or dont get mad if it happens back. I love being there when you need me but this is a two way street. I need you and you need me. Beg to differ and I'll beg for departure. Cause we come first. OUR relationship is top point.
Well, my phone doesn't do read receipts, so I usually start texting someone else and figure they're busy, asleep, hanging out with someone. None of us is the center of the universe, I'm not even to my kids, why the hell should I be to another adult. And if I am, I don't want that responsibility, think of me maybe every 30 minutes or hour in a happy or naughty way, not staring at your phone willing me to care when I'm thinking of something else, even if it's just laying in the bath tub.
Better than being stood up in person lol. Though in all reality ill hove it time and try maybe one more time. Life gets busy for people and there could be load of things on their plate you know?
If im just constantly left on read though? Eh... fuck it. As much as it sucks, its not something to dwell on. If they wanna talk after? I just hold it back a bit and just chill
Feels like shit tbh, I think to myself did I do or say anything wrong? And I don't normally try to reach her again I just say I'm sorry if I said anything to make you mad, that's if we had a conversation ut if she left me on read just by me saying hi then I'd assume she just doesn't like me or doesn't want to talk lol
Would be annoyed and not talk to her.
It's the same when you say something and they just don't respond to it but answer with something else or nor at all.
like you ask how are you, they respond hey.
that is annoying af
Well it really fuckin' stupis 2 ignore someone (better 2 say that people are not interested 2 speak with eachother), and if I see this and it's more than 1-3 days than I just delete that mesage, I'm also really sad and start 2 think 4 myself, that maybe I'm not good enough 4 her (that's a lot of times) :(
"Another one who's not interested in me, great".
I wouldn't hit her up again, I learnt from my first mistake, she's not interested, so i'm not going to try and force it.
