When a guy always replies to your messages late, does that mean he's not into you anymore?

I think it depend on the person and their situation. For me I work as an architect and I am often in meetings or in the field on job sites where there is no or limit service. Also when meeting with clients I don’t want to be rude and so I often don’t check messages until the meeting is over. The best thing to do is to ask the person why they don’t respond right away and let them know it hurts you when they don’t. If the person loves you and wants to make you happy they will attempt to be better or will explain their reason and will help you understand their situation.

[LoneWolf67]

It depends on the guy's behavior and messageing style. He just may be busy with work or out with his friends. (Going back to the messaging style) if he replys with small talk all the time then there is a good chance things are going down hill or it might just be a phase he is going through.

[hyel02]

I agree with you on that. 👍

[SnowWhite13]

I’d say if he’s still replying at least, everything’s ok haha ☺️ sometimes guys just get busy. He could even be playing video games or be out with friends. Men have a tendency to only focus on one task at a time
I know I often see my man turn his phone off when we’re out and only turn it on once in a while to check for voicemails or answer a text from his mom haha. It’s not unusual for a man to not want to be on his phone when he’s doing something else ☺️ but the fact that he does reply eventually is good

[jennifer_bloom]

If that isn't his regular way of talking then not necessarily. The guy I'm dating would always reply to texts after mid night and then he told me to message him on facebook instead and I found that on facebook - he was online during regular hours - like 1:00 p. m. or 6:00 p. m. whereas on the cell phone he was only available after mid night.

[Xoxocutekitty]

Depends if it's prime work or class time. The likely no. But if for the last couple weeks he's just being slow then yeah he's probably losing interest or taking you for granted. In long relationshipa tbh interest ebbs and flows like this, but that comes with security and if you guys are like less than 6 months than yeah not good

[PrincessPie]

Was he always like that? if so no.
If he suddenly becomes that way, i'd definitely say at the very least he has lost interest.

[coachTanthony]

If he is ALWAYS replying late than he is not interested or simply way to busy for your expectations.

[MarkNightingale]

Of course not! Honestly, people these days spend so much time in their phone, it's nuts girl! I don't have time to text every five minutes even for the love of my life. Seriously, people should be busy actually living just a bit, like working, adventuring, and ignoring their phone. Doesn't mean your not on his/her mind in the best way. I can take a couple days at times, might be camping, or just working my butt off. Don't think the world revolves around a text. He might also be taking extra time to edit his texts, to make sure he impresses you.. Ironic but true. I have trouble keeping my texts short as you can probably tell. It can be hard to write just the right message to the woman of your dreams... Very hard!

[Andre__]

Define late.
If he's busy and can't readily respond it's not late in my view.
I know a lot of men, myself included, do not look at their phone all day. It may take a day or more before I respond.
It may also be your asking questions he does not have direct answer to and takes his time to think about his answer.

[roriberry]

Everybody has lives. Everyone gets distracted; just because he's not looking at his phone doesn't mean he's not thinking about you. Space is a key thing to getting to know someone and constant texting is invading someone's phone which is their workspace or personal space. Sometimes guys need to go do whay makes them... Well them!

[Cronoforge]

Sometimes texting is like having a constant conversation from either parties end. I personally am a send a text or two kinda guy and if you wanna talk... Well we call each other. I really think things get misconstrued in texting and only like it as a means of passing information and not emotion but so many times my ex would say that I text her like "yes" in a why are you bothering me kinda way lol. I never knew she could tell someone's tone from a text message.

[redhoodttt]

It depends. Sometimes guys dont reply because they have stuff to do, or they are play games and can reply on the moment.
And sometimes its because they don't want to have some kind of conversation, for example when a girls asks what he is doing, but after the guy replies she talks about herself

[mdiablo]

There are many things that can distract a guy, like playing video games, sports, hanging out with his homies etc... so if he couldn't text you on time don't feel bad.. its just a guy being a guy. Let him. As long as u still make it up when you meet.😋

[whiteangel1]

If he isn't busy then yeah he isn't into you anymore or he doesn't even care about you and he has someone more important to text.. when a guy likes you he will answer you as fast as he can or at least tells you he is busy and he will text you later

[jessebruh]

What? Hell no. I would reply when i feel like it. Its not that i should jump in attention as soon as i get a text. Life outside the phone is more important than life inside the phone. Ill make time for it when i feel like it.

[Lavenderella]

It depends. It can be that they're busy or they aren't always on their phone. Unless he saw your message or online on that app but reply later, or he used to reply faster & got later now.. then it means he's not into you.

[Phoenix98]

Well if it was me it'd be because I was really busy or at work and due o the nature of my job I can't have my phone out and talking with people when I am working with folks.

but it could be a lot of things.

[otdriftwood]

I am the exact opposite like if I'm headed out to my garage to work I'll text my girlfriend first so she knows I might not get her messages or calls because my phone doesn't get service personally I feel it's a matter of showing respect to the person you're supposed to be in love with

[Mayank_Gupta3066]

Oh! i would say 70% yes and 30% no but yes the rest 30% is more powerful sometimes if you guys have that perfect bonding. In short if u and your partner have that kind of bond that no matter what happens he or she will. never leave you then yes there might be a possibility that he was busy so he wouldn't replied.

[Julsko]

It depends on the situation.
Sometimes guys reply late just to not seem too needy and desparate or because they have too many activities and dont have enough time. But it may also mean that he is not interested. You can understand if he is into you by looking at the way he talks to you (if he likes to send big messages and questions or if he just says yes/no and you do all the asking). You should also check if he looks/stares at you and if he is happy when talking to you in generall.

[Anonymous]

There are possible reasons behind that.
First is that maybe he's busy. Second is that maybe he's not comfortable talking to someone, Third is that maybe he's not interested on your topic. Fourth is that maybe he's not interested in you. Fifth is that maybe he's talking to his friends or other people. Sixth. maybe he got some personal issues or whatever...

[AmtgardJean]

Not necessarily. Sometimes we miss things. Other times we are doing things. We can get very distracted from our phones and such when we are deeply involved in a number of things.

[Nick-1999]

1. He could be busy
2. He doesn't wanne look needy
3. He want to thinj twice what to reply
4. He's not interested
5. He forgot he didn't sent anything yet ( happens to me )

[Northern_star]

yep, he's right.

[Peter2209]

If a person reply you late it doesn't mean he's not into you... see the positive side that he replied...

[TheNoOne]

Nope it’s more likely the opposite a lot of dating circles say you should reply right away to keep suspense. How engaged is he went you are face to face.

[winterfox10]

Not necessarily. I believe that consistency is most important in these things. He might just be a slow texter.

[JonnyTrauma]

I have replied late before for many different reasons examples work, sleeping, doing stuff with my kids my phone isn't nearby and thinking of what to write there are many different reasons

[MisterG122112]

Not at all. He might just be a busy person and doesn't like having his phone on him a lot so he doesn't see messages right away.

[gam3vidz]

There's a lot of actor to this k of i mean just asking that broad question isn't going to help you we need context

[bklynbadboy1]

Not necessarily all that means is he's busy. But I think the best way to find out is just ask him sit him down and talk to him see what he tells you

[DeeDeeDeVour]

At least he's replying back. He's probably just busy.

[mash-zz]

Always late... he is not into you or he has too many people to reply. There should be at least a few moments where you have a fast reply. But if it's always then that's my opinion

[BryanTheLion]

He is not into you if he doesn't reply AT ALL. If he replies late he could just be playing games.
maybe he feels you take your time replying to his.
...
Or maybe he's just busy

[chriscdi]

He could be busy or making you wonder by disappearing for a while, he could also be with someone else if anything so watch out with that

[nakhrewali]

If he ain't putting in same effort as you, back out sis.

[honeymoon-1]

It gives guys a power trip to ignore you 🙄 total BS

[sampetro]

90%chance is he is not interested and 10%chance he has too much work load. Otherwise a guy may be in too much pressure he surely reply to whom he cares or love.

[Dallsimo]

Maybe he's just busy! I find it pathetic how people turn everything to the worst case scenario right away! Calm down! Cause if you don't, then he'll really loose interest!

[BigDaddyDanie]

Depends on how he does it I sometimes reply late to stretch the conversation

[honock]

Nope don't think like that he might be busy in some work or he might be under busy schedule try to solve it by talking to him

[Evkaxy]

Did he always reply late or suddenly changed his ways?

[hyel02]

Late always.

[Evkaxy]

Well, so there is your answer, that's how he rolls. Some guys like to play hard to get and some just like to ignore their phone

[Razor783]

Nope if he doesn't respond to your texts until days later or months is when you should be concerned

[Silentobserver89]

That means he got more exciting things to do than to text someone back

[Desuyonee]

no it is not everytime like that, maybe there are some acceptable reason behind it :DDDD

[shery11]

Yeah May be.
But It depends, What if he is busy?
If he is busy, He will apologize about it.
But If you think, that he is continuously Reply you late, Then surely Yes, He's not into you anymore.
He is bore from you,, and wants some change. 🙄

[Mrblueballs42]

No naybe thinking of the right things to say. He could be busy or at work. I try to answer right away.

[Anonymous]

No I do it all the time with people I force myself to wait five mins so I don't look like iv got nothing going on

[Harshad70]

Yes.. guy or girl, you see them online and even after seeing your text if he isn't replying then he's not into you anymore.

[bugs_bugs_bunny]

He might be busy soo give him some time positive thinking

[Jimmie-Rustler]

Trying to not be clingey. We time out our replies so we don't look desperate and scare you (deer) away.

[Vidyarthi]

Yes. This means that he is not interested in you at all and he has someone whom he admires.

Sorry, a bitter truth. :(

[qdog212]

No sometimes guys have other things going on either in there head or an actual problem that has thinking over. Just understand guys have a lot of things to deal with

[Liisjak]

I usually reply during the course of the day, might be after an hour or 10.

[bluesky777]

No. That would not be a good assumption. No. That would not be a good assumption.

[xwilsonrx]

It could, but how is anyone besides him supposed to know that? Maybe he's just busy. Why dont you just ask him? You should never assume anything.

[Orion67]

Me personally when I'm in a relationship the more into it we get the slower I respond because u think they won't take it personally anymore

[Anonymous]

I do that all the time
So I don't come off desperate lol

[hyel02]

Hahaha so you consciously delayed your replies so you dont come off desperately? 😂

[Opinion Owner]

Yep, I probably over think the situations
But its all about timing I think :)

[hyel02]

I also do that sometimes. *high five*😊

[TheRustyPlayer]

Think I'm gonna join you on the high five

[hyel02]

hahaha

[Opinion Owner]

This guy really just stole my high five >:(

[Anonymous]

No, because if a guy replies immediately girls call him needy. He replies late because girls like feeling insecure about whether a guy likes them or not.

[LogoutMaybe]

Most likely, yes. If this includes post - work hours

[holj102]

Define late. What may be late for you is a reasonable time for him.

[knurse]

Learnt this the hard way. They could be too busy and don't care enough to reply

[ANX69]

no.. maybe he think that if he keep you waiting more u will miss him and want him more.. MAYBE

[pinayfit]

I mean if he’s busy at work then no

[sarisadi1]

I would say yes. Well my girlfriend said yes

[peachpitt]

No. He’s preoccupied.

[creampie99]

It could be that his notifications are off
