Well 24hrs is a lot. If you really wanna have a conversation you have to reply or tell the guy that you are busy and may reply late. This tells you weren't interested. Women expect guus to reply on time and you actually keep them waiting. You should have a genuine reason for that

Asker+1 yit wasn’t after 24h but close to 24hours.

+1 yA lot of guys don’t understand your point of view and will over react to your rejection or appearance of disinterest, which is why you can sometimes reduce drama by affirming their importance to you so they are less scared, but you should also know that an insecurity might signal he is mentally conflicted and not a good dating candidate. I know insecurity might indicate the later possibility of abuse. Consider his behaviour, and also reflect on yours.

+1 yA nice explanation as to why you took a while to reply would’ve helped. If you did do that and he still took days to reply…move on.

Asker+1 yI actually deleted my message to him after being 6 days on delivered.. did I do wrong? :D
- +1 y
Ehhh I wouldn’t have deleted it…I’d just let it be and not double text, just to let it be known that I’m not going to be playing games with him. If he wants to reach out in the future he’d be more than welcome to but my interest would be done by then because childish games are never a good thing especially if I gave him a good explanation as to why I took a while to reply.
Asker+1 yI never gave him a explanation though
- +1 y
There you go… when he reaches out, bring up the topic and clear everything up. You can also reach out to him and ease your way into the topic too. I suggest you reach out to him and bring up the topic…start fresh. If the delayed texts continue from him, move on.
Asker+1 yWhat would he think about me deleting the message?
Asker+1 yI deleted it before he opened the message
+1 yReplying someone 24hrs later is a perfect indication that you were ignoring it. So why would he bother talking to you anyway?

Asker+1 yI actually even changed my dp picture and he probably saw it. I was busy that day and his message was very simple that didn’t require an answer. When I got home 11pm I replied to him (I asked him a question) then I got left on delivered
Asker+1 yAlso it wasn’t after 24h but close to 24hours.
- +1 y
Tell that to him, not us... Well it is obvious that he's not gonna bother now maybe. But try if you still wanna continue talking to him
Asker+1 yI actually deleted my message to him after being 6 days on delivered.. did I do wrong?
- +1 y
If you still want to talk to him then take a step and text him and explain him the situation. That's the only way to get over the misunderstanding you both had, so if you care then go for it or else don't bother. He's not the only guy and you're not the only girl in this world.
People try to clear out the misunderstandings if it feels important, and if not then why bother so much?
Asker+1 yDo you think that it really bothered him and he did that as a “punishment “ ?
- +1 y
We can make assumptions on that but only he can tell what it really was... He may have given up on you or he maybe doing it as a punishment. But the point is... he is not gonna make a move because he made it and you ignored it. Now it is your turn to try and talk or if you don't think it's worth it then stop thinking about it
Asker+1 yLol I initiated that conversation
- +1 y
Well yes you did after 24hrs...
- +1 y
Sorry for making an assumption but I don't really think that you are very much into that guy. You are just upset that he ignored your text.
Asker+1 yBoth times I initiated the conversation. Also he’s reply didn’t really require an answer. I still continued the conversation albeit late
- +1 y
24hrs is a lot of time for a person to overthink if he's not very busy. And it would have been better if you had told him that you were busy and couldn't reply to his texts.
Asker+1 yI didn’t realize that it bothered him so much
- +1 y
Well now you know it
- +1 y
So either just try to talk to him, explaining the situation or just forget about it. Your call...
Asker+1 yHe’s suddenly now more online. I deleted my message on Tuesday night and since Wednesday I’ve catched him at least once a day online on whatsapp. When I was on delivered I never catched him online (I even thought he blocked me)
- +1 y
How long are you going to discuss this? Do you really wanna talk to him? Then go text him! You're already so much bothered about it. Just take a step ahead and talk, clear things out. That's better than just overthinking and discussing about it
Asker+1 yI want him to reach out to me
- +1 y
That's not going to happen so... keep waiting. Not all guys are into chasing women 🙂
Asker+1 yI don’t want to chase him either
- +1 y
So... just forget about it and move on
Asker+1 yby the way why did he thought that we won’t reach out to me?
- +1 y
Ahh I've tired of this discussion..

So you saw it and chose to ignore it? Thats not going to pass with online dating when he could just message someone else potentially and have her reply back faster.
Asker+1 yIt was on whatsapp not online dating site. Also his reply was very simple. I didn’t even need to reply to him.
- +1 y
Well you couldve just told him you would be busy and you'll get to him when you can.
Asker+1 yI didn’t think he would’ve been bothered by that..
Asker+1 yI actually deleted my message to him after being 6 days on delivered.. did I do wrong?
- +1 y
Just move on as it seems he doesn't want to talk to you.
Asker+1 yI figured that out but I think he did that as a “punishment “. Don’t you agree?
- +1 y
Most likely but it made you post on GaG about it so it kinda worked.
Asker+1 yDoesn’t show that he has feelings for me since he get so petty from little things like that. I still opened his message and replied within 24hours (very close to a day later tho)
I mean... you demonstrated that you aren't in any rush to talk with him... what were you expecting?
05 Reply
Asker+1 yBut he went extreme tho
Asker+1 ySo he probably has feelings for me?
Asker+1 yBut why would he get hurt/ mad if he wasn’t interested?
That long? Really? I would be waiting for an explanation. So that makes him petty?

Asker+1 yIf he’s bothered by that doesn’t it show that he has feelings for me?
Asker+1 yHow would he feel now that I’ve deleted the message?
Asker+1 yI deleted it after 6 days
Asker+1 yI didn’t need his reply anymore
+1 ySometimes I get texting anxiety and struggle to reply, although I'm trying to figure out how to reduce the anxiety. He may suffer from this as well

+1 yIt’s just online. I’m not sure why you people these days allow electronic devices to dictate human emotions. Talk to him directly and if he’s not open to that then he’s useless fly poop 💩

Asker+1 ySo are you saying that he’s feelings got hurt?
Well feel blessed you're not yet blocked...
If I'm that guy I definitely block you. ✌️05 Reply
Asker+1 yWhy?
Asker+1 yAlso I initiated that conversation
Asker+1 yDo you think that it really bothered him and he did that as a “punishment “ ?
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yIf that's all you have to go off us. You're putting far too much thought into this.

Asker+1 yWhat do you mean?
Opinion Owner+1 yWell it doesn't appear either of you have actually talked to each other yet. You're assuming he was offended and now assuming he's ignoring you. That's a lot of assumption without actually communicating.
Asker+1 yWell what do you think is happening?
Asker+1 yOther option is that he just doesn’t want to talk to me
Opinion Owner+1 yHere's a crazy thought... ask him.
Asker+1 yNo, after what he did I’m definitely not texting him first. He left me on delivered for 6 days…
Opinion Owner+1 yYeah, but you're ASSUMING it's intentional. I have zero problem with you getting mad if you ask and find out it was intentional.
Asker+1 yI already deleted my message and he hasn’t asked why I deleted a message/ what I seny him
Asker+1 ySent*
+1 yHe’s just being petty

Asker+1 yDo you think that it really bothered him and he did that as a “punishment “ ?
- +1 y
Yes, it obviously did. Or he might have been bothered by it for a bit and gotten over it but not interested in conversing with you anymore.
Asker+1 yWhy didn’t he just leave me on read? Also in the past he told me that he had notification problems…
- +1 y
Ik you’re trying to come up with scenarios to justify his behavior so everything goes back to how it was but 1 week? Hmmm that’s no notification problem
Asker+1 yNo I mean in the past when once he replied to me after 2 days
Asker+1 yI definitely won’t text him first anymore
- +1 y
You don’t have to take our advice tho. Do whatever works for you!
Asker+1 yWhat was your advice?
Asker+1 yGuys here are saying that I should reach out to him and that he got mad because he thought I was first ignoring him

Asker+1 yDo what?
Asker+1 yI was busy that day. I was out with friends. Also I replied after 23 hours so technically within 24 hours
Asker+1 yI actually even changed my dp picture and he probably saw it. I was busy that day and his message was very simple that didn’t require an answer.
I guess he really got mad over that?
Asker+1 ySo he probably got his feelings hurt?
Asker+1 yI never was his girlfriend
Asker+1 yWhat do you think?
Asker+1 yHow can I blew it if I didn’t know we had “anything “
Asker+1 yHe reacted too strongly if he didn’t have any feelings for me
+1 yNo idea
