Guys will only text back and forth not go out with me?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been talking to this guy for awhile on and off (we used to hangout together with friends 2 years ago). But now all he wants to do is text, nothing else. Recently we haven’t talked in awhile and I saw him on a dating app, we matched and he messaged me. But yet again all he wants to do is text. Why do guys only like texting and not actually going out anymore? This seems to happen all the time, texting is so boring to me

Maybe you attract men who just want online friends, probably in a relationship with someone else, have no confidence in themselves or who’re broke. Next time you find someone like that, ask them out on an ice cream date or snack date. They’ll agree then y’all meet

I have and he doesn’t reply or makes up an excuse yet still texts me and matches me on a dating app?

[MsProsperity]

Oh maybe you are not his type, he just like you as a person. Go for men that are the opposite of what you want... it works. I don’t mean you must settle for less

How do you know he doesn’t want to go out with you? Has he said he is not interested in that?

[Asker]

I’ve asked to go out and he doesn’t reply or makes up an excuse yet still texts me and matches me on a dating app?

He isn’t interested in you or just wants people to chat with while bored.

Have you explicitly shown you are interested? He may be unsure.

[Asker]

Yes I asked him to go out yesterday and he never replied. And months ago I asked and he made excuses

[spartan55]

He is bored.

Sounds like the friend zone
