Why does he even text me?

[Anonymous]

I met this guy n at first we talked a lot then he started leaving me on delivered for 6+ hours every time, didn't matter when i responded to him. Still he continues to text me first but then the convo never goes anywhere bc of his late replies. Why is he even texting me at all? I can see he's active and i assume he's ignoring my msgs. Should I just stop replying to him? I dont know if there's any point in bringing it up

Okay, so here is something that I have learned over my time with dating. Guys are often just not into texting. This is true of my husband to this day. Getting responses sometimes is like pulling teeth. However, that doesn't mean something is wrong.

That may be the case of the person you are talking about. Maybe he is just not into texting like you are. Let's look at some possibilities of why he doesn't text back right away.

One could be that he is busy. Perhaps family or friends have him busy and while he wants to read when he gets it to see what you sent, he doesn't have the time at that moment to respond.

Another possibility is that he wants to text when he has something interesting to say. Perhaps he just doesn't know what to send at that point so instead of sending something pointless, he responds when he has something meaningful.

These are just guesses. Really, you will have to ask him as he is the only one that knows. If it bothers you, let him know that it does.

Two big differences you need to understand now. Women are communicative and even talk to the air while walking. Guys do not like to communicate beyond some grunts and punching. Do not force your method and manner of communication onto a guy. We hate texts especially when they are long, drawn out, and never ending emotional time bombs. ALL texts should be 4 sentences or less... OR... READ... she keps up and GHOSTED.

Honestly, yeah, I'd stop. This sounds like his convo style. Which sounds TERRIBLE. Might work for some people but it clearly doesn't work for you. So, just stop. And if he asks why, however, be mature and tell him why.

Well if you don't like him or you find what he doing as annoying then at least make it clear to him and then stop responding to his messages.

Simple.

I think you should ask him directly about this. He may be at work and getting interrupted a lot...

Is he interesting to you? If not, then stop
