I've done this before with my girlfriend, when we were still just friends. I noticed that I was usually the one that would start the conversations and always be the one to call first. So one time, I just didn't text her for three days, and that was the set period of time. On the first day, she texted me saying hey. Then after no response for a while she sends another "Nicki? Is everything ok?". Then when I still didn't text back that day, she said "Please answer me Nicki Mouse :(" After that day was over, it continued "Nick are you mad at me?" couple hours later, "You better tell me if I did something Nicholas! I'm getting worried about you and slightly mad!" and before bed "Good night Nick. Sleep well." On the third day, "Good morning Nicki. I miss you and need to hear your sweet voice. Please text me back soon ok?!" halfway through the day "Are you working today? I need to talk to you..." After dinner I got one more text from her. "Nick, I don't know what's going on. But I hope you are OK my sweet boy. I miss you and your puns. I miss my little brother... You Nicki Mouse!" And at that I spared her. I told her that my dad took away my phone for the weekend and just gave it back to me. I called her then and there and calmed her mind. It was so pleasing and wonderful to hear her voice. It was rude of me to do it for so long, but it worked. The reason I didn't tell her about my choice is, she would've thought it selfish. It hurt me to see her so upset and worried, but it also made me feel better about where we were in our friendship. True her calling me her little brother would seem strange, but it's actually just a nickname. Because she's older than me and I look after her like a brother should. The real story is I'm her "Little/Big Brother" I protect her like an older brother, even though I'm younger. And at the time, I told her I liked her, but she wasn't ready for a relationship. So I came up with that idea, and found it funny that that usually leads to the friend zone. But here we are now, happy as ever. My goal beforehand was to figure out if I was just a time filler or a real friend that she cared about. And I learned I was more than that. So that's the story of why I did it. And it's 100% true. :) Does this help any?

Sometimes I do, because if I'm going to invest in a girl, I need to know that she's actually interested
some guys do but if it's constant then he's just not that interested.
this guy used to contact me daily and one day he didn't then the next day he texted me asking why he will never hear from me first.
but..if he is almost always going days between talking to you I would say he is losing interest.
i know that some guys do it and works for them, but for some it can back fire. if a guy does it longer, then can be no longer interested. Its hard to say, guys are confusing especially the shy ones are worse to get! my guy friend who is really shy is doing this to me at the moment & its confusing.

sometimes. but sometimes I do it to make it seem like I have a life when I actually don't.
I do that most of the time.
