Boyfriend hasn't texted me all day?

[Anonymous]

Hey, so I'm feeling a bit concerned and worried as I haven't heard from my boyfriend yet today. We were texting last night and my last reply was saying goodnight to him. I haven't heard anything since. We do talk every day, but I can't help but worry and find this strange as it's his day off from work also so I would have thought I would have heard from him today. I know he doesn't ignore me but it does make me feel upset and unappreciated when I don't hear from him. Surely there must be a valid reason on why he hasn't messaged me yet? What do you guys think, should I be worried or am I over thinking?

I don't really think he's mad at you or fed up with you or anything. His texts are sweet, he keeps on texting, all the heartthingies going on. Has he replied in the meantime? If not, call him and ask him if you're still on for the fair and if he's still picking you up. It's fine to text him too instead of waiting for him to text you, if there's a day of no texting, just send him a text yourself :) then he'll know that you'll make some effort too.

He hasn't called or texted still. I texted him asking if were still going but still no reply.It's passed 9 ...

[CrystalMinds]

Doesn't he pick up when you call? Maybe something urgent came up?

[AngelFairy]

Well he texted me back now. He said "Yay! Fair! Yeah, we're still going C:". Now were texting about the video on YouTube. I still can't stop over thinking tho. . .

You could ask how it happened that you haven't heard each other that much the last couple of days. But over thinking ruins things, it's a waste of time, makes you nervous and sad and gets you nowhere. It's best to enjoy the stage you're in now and enjoy your relationship. I know it's easier said than done.

Um. Have you texted him?

If it's his day off, chances are he's either vegging out or he's out doing something. Or maybe he just hasn't had anything to text you about...

Don't over-think it.

My BF and I text every day too pretty much, but sometimes he starts it and sometimes I do, and it's usually whichever one of us gets bored first or comes across something funny or interesting we want to share...

I think you're over-thinking it a bit, yeah. Just shoot him a text. He'll reply, and it'll all be fine.

Could do but I've done that a lot of times and I like him to make an effort also and text me so then I know he wants to talk to me

[LittleSally]

Cool down...
He will.
Or you can.
What's stopping you?

[Asker]

True

If it is his day off maybe he is doing something with family or friends? If you messaged him and he didn't say anything wait until late evening and say something about hoping he had a good day and what not. Could be an innocent situation of much going on during the day.

You shouldn't worry about it that much. The only time that you should start to wonder is when he hasn't said anything for a few days. He might just have been really occupied with something or he just hasn't had anything to talk to you about today.

I've explored the situation of a boyfriend not texting all day and here's a summary of possible reasons and what to do:

• He's Busy: He might be occupied with work, family, or personal hobbies.
• He's Upset: Reflect on recent conversations for anything that might have upset him.
• Possible Cheating: If distant behavior is frequent, consider the possibility of infidelity.
• Taking You for Granted: He might not value the relationship as much anymore.
• Wants You to Initiate: He could be waiting for you to make the first move.
• Testing Your Reaction: To gauge your interest in the relationship.
• Feeling Guilty: He might be distancing himself due to guilt over something he did.
• Caught Your Lie: If he's discovered a lie, he could be reevaluating the relationship.
• Insecurity in the Relationship: Openly flirting with others might make him feel insecure.
• Loss of Interest: Time can erode interest in a relationship.
• Technical Problems: He might have lost his phone or be in a no-coverage area.
• Avoiding Conflict: He might be avoiding a potential argument.

Steps to Take:

• Stay Calm: Avoid overthinking and jumping to conclusions.
• Give Him Space: Sometimes, people need a little time to themselves.
• Reach Out: If the silence is unusual, it's okay to check in.
• Reflect on the Relationship: Consider recent interactions that might have led to this.
• Communication: When he does reach out, discuss the issue calmly.

Understanding the reasons and responding appropriately can help maintain a healthy relationship dynamic. Feel free to check out my post on Relationship Explained for more insights or advice!

Why don't you call him? There are so many different reasons why he couldn't have texted you; he's phone is empty, he is busy doing homework, he's helping his father with something, he left his phone at home.
So don't worry, it's probably nothing, and he will certainly don't stood you up tomorrow. And I really think you should tell him about your social anxiety, 'cause then he can be aware of it.

I was once like you. Don't worry too much. He doesn't text doesn't mean he doesn't care. Don't stress yourself out by making up things in your head. If you don't stop, it will ruin your relationship. Trust me, everything will be OK. Guys just don't text as much as girls do. But they still care. Cheer up

Personally, I wouldn't date anyone who insisted I text them each and every day. People rely too much on non-verbal communications these days.

[dx021]

can you really call someone your boyfriend after only 3 weeks though...

[Texasmade1]

Maybe he is. busy or he is sleeping or his phone has no charge.

I have been stood up and dumped many many times. It's part of life.

[WeirdoWerdo]

maybe isn't allowed to text outside the country coz it's expensive as fuck.

[zagor]

Because his girlfriend over thinks everything and worries needlessly.

[Anonymous]

since you are a girl, I wouldn't really worry since it's okay for a girl to have social anxiety, since the guy has to do the leading
