Boyfriend was online playing video games, but hasn’t texted me?

[Anonymous]

This usually doesn’t happen, I’m sort of worried. He usually always has his phone with him when he plays, he plays fortnite with his friend a lot, doesn’t bother me I’m not clingy or going to spam him because of this. It’s just weird, I was busy all weekend and barely had time to text (no service where I was at) and so Id make sure to text him goodmorning and goodnight about what’s happening that day. He’d text me in between and reply quickly and excitedly with some “I love you”(s). It’s just strange how he wouldn’t text me this time when he’s playing his game, I texted him saying “hey baby I just got home” at 8:30 pm yesterday and he hasn’t replied. I just find it weird how he didn’t reply when he usually always does, even when playing video games he finds time to write me, but this time he hasn’t. What does this mean? Is he losing interest?

lol this is what i dont understand about people: many of them over-analyze situations, thinking that the worst has happened or just not thinking of more common things. such as: ur boyfriend probs hasn't texted back cuz he was taking a nap, or his phone was dead, or he didn't hear the notification go off. its not that he lost interest, and anyways, just because he didn't respond to ONE text does not mean that he would lose interest. i ignore texts all the time, and it doesn't mean that i hate someone, it usually means that im busy.

If he texts you when he doesn't play videos games that just means he isn't thinking about texting right now, since he's more concentrated on playing his game. There is most likely nothing to worry about.

Thats when you call. If its been that long you need to call. If u dont have good service, find a local payphone and call

If it has been a while, text again. Two texts several hours apart is not clingy at all in any relationship.

As for not responding while playing video games... Responding to texts is done between activities. He might very well be engaged in an 8 hour pursuit of that one Won game right now.

There is also the possibility he saw your message after which it slipped his mind or he even thinks he already answered.

All in all, don't stress it. Text the guy again. Its all fine. You're overthinking this one :).

It's amazing he messages when playing, most guys wouldn't as they'd be to drawn into the game but chances are he just forgot to reply or his phone died or he's just not been on it for a long time, it sounds like nothing to be worried about.

[madhatters4]

if it's an isolated incident maybe he just was really into his game. maybe he left his phone somewhere. maybe his battery was dead for a time

i just really wouldn't even worry about an isolated incident.

[Buckzor]

If he's playing online, he can't pause the game and maybe he's doing something he needs to concentrate on. Maybe he didn't notice your text, maybe he just doesn't feel like responding.

Or maybe he is losing interest. We can't tell what he feels or thinks, ask him yourself.

He may have misplaced his phone. It could have died and it was charging. He may not have even known he got the message. He may have seen the message and simply forgot to respond because he was doing something else. Etc

If its just a one weekend deal or just happens rarely wouldn't worry too much about it.

[skittles2017]

Maybe he forgot... us man are not very good in maintaining everything well... we slip things and sometimes we blow it off... just give him some slack... You don't need to over think everything

[Zenurus]

Chill for the moment. If it's a one time thing.
But do talk with him about it when u two see each other next time.

[Koorky]

When guys play fortnite with their homies they care about the game, that's what's important. He must have been one of the last 10 people alive and was under stress.

[TallGuy96]

Ok this opinion is too late i know, but he maybe had an intense gaming session which required his full attention or he maybe was doing something else.

[gclark2708]

Maybe he forgot or he just wants a bit of space for himself for the day?

[OpenWine]

I usually don't text anyone when playing even tho my phones likes to be in my hand

[Anon-ymous1]

Let him have his space. He'll text you when he wants to, just like you do to him.

[nick463]

Better him playing games rather than messing with a girl a, don't push him😁

[WhiplashTacos]

No. Everything is okay. He’s just taking some time relaxing with games.

[mactallica]

He is gaming and is not interested in you at this second, but will text you after he binge games.

[IanSpider]

Maybe. It's better to talk to him about it and see what he says.

[Anonymous]

he's losing his league in the game lmao 😂. Sorry no I've no clue.

[Brutal_Honesty]

you should ask him instead of us ;)

[Elenor-1]

Fortnite is Love fortnite is life

[CT_CD]

He's doesn't want to talk to you right now

[Lionelmesssi]
