Wow thank you all for the amazing support you all helped a ton

[Lalalove11]

Hmm as a girl if you're not in a relationship I would advise against it and pulling back a bit. I'm curious what stage you're in this connection with her? In beginning stages if men get a little bit clingy it can be a turn off. I'm not saying you are clingy, but yeah I advise against doing this. I know it's hard to know when to text her, how often, should I leave it for a few hours etc. It can be a real headwreck! Just try being natural and she will hopefully like you for you. 🙏Good luck

[Asker]

Yeah it been like three months since we started talking and there's been moments where we don't talk for a few days because of stuff we've said but yesterday we were arguing again and I said you don't even like me and she said she does she just doesn't know how to express her feelings because she doesn't for anyone

[Lalalove11]

Jeez relationships are hard😩 well I'm sorry that she does struggle expressing herself. Since you're in a kind of relationship with her yeah it's no harm to show you genuinely care as long as it is reciprocated. 🙏

[Asker]

Yeah they really are thank you though 😁👍

[Lalalove11]

No problem 🙏😊

[AnyAdviceAppreciated]

If she doesn't have the courtesy and respect to message you back once she does finally wake up, then I think you need to re-evaluate your situation with her because she may just not be into you and her ignoring you may be her way of trying to tell you. I hope I'm wrong and I hope it all works out for you.

[Asker]

That's what I thought because she's not open to how she feels ever so I had to ask her the other day and she says yes I like you I just don't show my feelings the same way you do

[AnyAdviceAppreciated]

Good on you for approaching her instead of stewing over it. Now that you know that, I would stop the good morning texts and see if she makes any effort to message you. She may even send you a flirty message saying she misses her good morning texts 😉 Play a little hard to get now.
Also, everyone is different and we all show our emotions in different ways. It's like the saying "actions speak louder than words". Her actions may be her way of communicating to you how she feels about you.

[fantasticass]

Good answer. Great advice ✌️

[Guy13]

Grow up and let go of the sensitivities. Who cares what her issues are. You are to be consistent and not a spineless no backbone reactive woman.
You have started something so now you must continue unless you want her to see you as unsettled, untrustworthy, and not able to handle a little adversity.

[Asker]

I'll take that into consideration I feel like I'm very consistent and feel like I welcome her to show all her emotions so your right I'll just keep it up thank you

[Summeroflove]

Guy13 but her behavior ignoring him really puts the message out of everything you're saying she would think of him. Maybe she is the one exhibiting these traits?

[Summeroflove]

I think that it's fine as long as you're not texting her when you know she is still sleeping. Dude, if you're texting someone and it's not a emergency and you know someone is asleep please don't or wait until you know she is awake.

If someone is flat ignoring you maybe they're not worth your time to begin with. Good morning is a nice thing to say so go ahead and say it I guess.

[OlderAndWiser]

Are you texting when she is still asleep?

Is she ignoring you at other times of the day?

[Asker]

Yes 😅

[OlderAndWiser]

If you are texting when she is asleep, you may bring a quick end to this relationship. Why would you do that?

[FireGodGoesSeeknFire]

I assume this is a girlfriend or at least a friends with benefits. In that case yes. Gestures of endearment should never be tit for tat.

If you are not getting as much affection as you need then you need to tell her that directly, so you all can figure out how she can satisfy your needs in a way that works for her.

If for whatever reason you can't bring yourself to do that or she just refuses to be receptive then you have to ask whether this ultimately something you can accept and live with, without resentment or whether you need to end the relationship.

[CrazyGirl2]

Well I mean it depends on who this girl is? If she’s your girlfriend/wife, then hell yeah you better say good morning, or your evening won’t go so well. If she is a girl at work or school, I would say it depends on how your relationship is when it comes to afternoons. If she seems pleasant and she likes you then yes, by all means say good morning. But if she never really talks to you, then just take the hint and leave her alone, she may be thinking “if that friggin guy says one more word to me, I reporting him to HR/The Administration office”!
Read the room! I mean if she’s nice to you, but she truly is just not a morning person, then yeah say good morning to her. If she doesn't seem to like you, then just leave her alone!

[Orion76]

True if its a colleague or neighbor just a person you pass by I say good morning if I’m in a good mood I don’t pay attention sometimes if they respond or not BUT if I notice they didn’t respond once I’ll try again the next day in case they didn’t see or hear me but If they did and didn’t respond I make them invisible won’t even look in that direction ever again lol. But really you can’t get reported to HR if you kept saying good morning? 😅I’m just curious now do you know?

[CrazyGirl2]

@Orion76 Because SOME women are just friggin crazy, and they think ANY unwanted action (even a verbal greeting) is sexual harassment! Sadly, corporations know all too well that the crazy bi**h in shipping who believes that someone she doesn’t like saying “hello” to her every morning is sexual harassment, is WAY more likely to sue them than the nice but socially awkward Trevor from accounting! So if Karen from shipping feels that Trevor is sexually harassing her, it’s much easier to discipline Trevor by sending him to a sexual-harassment seminar then it is to fire Karen! Now, is this LIKELY? No! But is it POSSIBLE? Come on, In 2023? Do you really need to ask? Of course it’s possible! A college history professor of history was just recently fired for teaching religion in a religion class, because she showed a picture of a certain religious figure, and one student complained. But instead of calling a wahhhmbulance, and disciplining the wahhhsshole, who reported the religious studies professor for teaching religion, they fired the freaking professor! So yes, things like that CAN happen, they just don’t often happen, but they absolutely do happen. It’s stupid, it’s unfair, and it’s unjust. But this is crazy-world we live in, so maybe avoid the lady who never says good morning b/c you just never know when she’s gonna bring all that crazy to work with her!

[Orion76]

@CrazyGirl2 Hard to imagine how hostile some people can be but you are right unfortunately can happen to anyone.

[CrazyGirl2]

@Orion76 It is disheartening to realize just how much anger people have pent-up inside! But it’s not just us women, men are suffering with this pent-up anger too, men just manifest it differently. You see it in things like road-rage, and random fights. As most women can’t just lay down a beating on someone, although SOME women can and do! But we live in turbulent times, and anger is just ONE side effect that we see more often these days!

[Orion76]

@CrazyGirl2 I’m that way actually but the older I got I learned to control my temper but not for long though if someone upset me I make it known and cool off quickly if someone apologises to me that shuts me up and it ends here.

[JamesDiaz11]

Unless the girl is your girlfriend, I would strongly advise you against doing this. It simply doesn't help you pursuit, and comes off as desperate/ needy.

I've been dating in the modern world for over 10 years, and have chatted up probably hundreds of girls. Sending a good morning text doesn't work, and typically bores them. Be engaged, send them relevant responses, and be interesting. Chances are she has far more potential partners than you do, and she's probably getting a half dozen good morning texts.

[cth96190]

No and hell no.
A simple ‘good morning’ has been twisted into workplace sexual harassment by the sisterhood.
I know of a courier who was fired after a receptionist made a sexual harassment complaint, because he said ‘good morning’.
No evidence was presented.
There was nothing that resembled due process.
He was not allowed to speak in his defence.
The mere word of a (clinically insane) female was sufficient for the sisterhood in HR.
The safest way to interact with females is to not interact, especially in the workplace.
Do not speak to them. Do not look in their direction.
The insanity and hate of Feminism has poisoned the gender dynamic to such a degree that a man’s only hope of survival is to be completely defensive and avoid interaction with females as much as possible, especially in the workplace.

[D_Bone_Steak]

To be honest, the chick is probably saying things like you're oppressing her, smothering her, and being possessive. Wait until she's texting you that stuff and then have her here on the internets dot com asking why you're not texting her back.

This is the world feminism has created 101. Be a toxic male..."good morning" isn't going to get her juices flowing... ask her for nudes instead. 😂

[Asker]

Bruh😭😭😭

[perpetial]

Simply ask her, "do you like receiving good morning texts?" If she says yes or no you have your answer. If she doesn't say anything she's probably not that interested (to the question).

I'm personally someone who doesn't because I don't like being woken up.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m sure the gesture would be appreciated even if she can’t answer, but be mindful of it. It’s good to let her know you’re thinking of her, but she might feel bad for not responding to “good morning” all the time. Maybe instead of that specific message, you send her other things like “How’s your morning?” Or “what do you think of this?” Or something else you’re more comfortable with

[dustybiker]

Sure. Say it in a way that isn’t irritating. I would tease “I know you aren’t a morning person, but good morning, anyway.” And give her a kiss emoji. If she likes you she’ll find it nice. If she is a misery it might be better to find someone who fits you better.

[humanearth]

Yes, They will say it if you say it enough

good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning good morning

[Orion76]

If you are referring to texting you should never judge. How she responds in person is what matters phone anxiety especially in the morning is possible, sometimes I can’t look at my Lock Screen. But in person its very easy to tell if you should or should not bother.

[Anonymous]

Not if she doesn't respond to it.

I used to text a guy good morning and good night. I love those type of texts myself, but he stopped replying to them. Then I found out he doesn't like morning texts because he feels committed to texting every morning or every day.

So if she isn't a morning person I wouldn't text her morning texts.

[Heolurt]

That's not why she's not saying it back and if she told you that's the reason, it's a lie.

The reason she's not saying it back is because she doesn't have any interest in you, I guarantee there's another guy saying the same thing to her and she's responding to him.

If you want to see if she might like you, stop saying good morning to her and if she reacts then she either liked the good mornings or maybe you, if she doesn't react then move your energy elsewhere.

[BubbaSparkx]

Well, You can say it back and then say "Oh, I understand not a good day today." I'd do it with caution; maybe the girl is having what you called (the time of the month) or something like that. Some days maybe better than others.

[Fireguy17]

You should always say good morning, afternoon, whatever.
It is a polite thing to do, and it lets that person know that you see them and acknowledge their presence.
It never bothered me that they never said anything back.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I can tell you, don't do that. Such messages are not appreciated by all girls. You should just ask her about this. Is this okay or what? Something like that.

[Itisme2345]

I think you should say good morning. I am not a morning person either and sometimes I don't say good morning as well... I am not trying to be rude but sometimes I actually don't feel like talking in the morning. So do not take it personally. However, during these kind of mornings I just nod.

[nitsuj86]

If you want to, then do it. If it upsets you that she doesn't return the favor, then don't. Pretty simple. Don't play games, over something so stupid.

[fantasticass]

The phrase "I'm not a morning person " is an excuse. I suggest you find "middle ground " , if not leave the relationship. Your energy needs to be the same. Good luck with your decision ✌️

[Anonymous]

I Have Never In My Life Said "Good Morning" To Anyone, It Is Just Something I Do Not Say... Instead, I Say, Hi How Are You? No One Has Ever Questioned Me On Not Saying It... I Also Have Never Said, "Bless You" When Someone Sneezes... If She Doesn't Say It Back, Accept It, It's Not The End Of The World... I Don't Mind If People Say It To Me, I Just Won't Say It In Return...

[summiter]

Of course... we all have different energy levels at different times of the day. Always take the high road.

[lightbulb27]

no, that be annoying. do what she likes. you have to communicate and have relationship with that person. someone else may be different.

[Lusciousphilippa28]

If she was interested in you, she'd say hi, morning, good afternoon, good evening in a heart beat. Anything else is an excuse.

[SnowedIn]

Yes. It's nice. Nothing wrong with being nice.

[alcorriher]

well, im not a morning person, but i say “good morning” to my family, whoever texts me the samw thing to be polite. or whoever i may run into in the morning

[ChillaxingLove]

Yea, keep saying and one day she’ll say it back lol

[Evie_Rose91608]

Yes! Girls love good morning/good night texts to wake up too! only if she is a girlfriend, add what you like about her!

[Shark_61695]

If you're the kind of person who says good morning to people then don't change because of someone else.

[SahuShekhar]

If she is not morning person, but responds with good afternoon later then yes.
If not please check if your regular greetings annoy her, some people don't like those.

[Justin1019]

She seems like an impolite bitch who doesn't care about you.

[boredgal]

yeah you can still say good morning. its called being polite.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why not? I say it to everyone no matter what time of day it is!

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I always say GoodMorning no matter if they say it back to me

[tonamimargaux]

By all means. She will learn from you if she's interested in you.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Do say it, unless she dislikes mornings. Be like her not. She ain’t perfect. If she does dislike mornings, just say good day.

[Bananas83]

Sure, why not? It let's her know that you're thinking about her and probably makes her smile to get that text.

[Justneedtokno]

There’s nothing wrong with saying good morning

[prosmind]

Probably she is not interested in you. Better not to say her goodmorning for a few days to decide.

[OddBeMe]

I don't know, if she’s a bitch it’s not bc of morning or night. I hate night clubs but I’m not a bitch to everyone who drags me there.

[Keishio]

You should do what feels right. If you feel like you're having to play games to get attention though then it's not the best place to put your efforts

[bubblegumidk]

i would say no. if she doesn't say it back id say its pretty obvious she doesn't care about texting you in the morning. more so if she actively ignores you as well

[Iron_Man]

Don’t wake her up just say good afternoon whatever

[Likes2drive]

I would just wait until you know that she is up

[Jamie05rhs]

No. If that's not her thing, don't do it. Some of us (including myself) are annoyed by that.

[Staximus]

I would stop saying good morning after the second time she doesn't respond

[Hardworkingguy]

Sure. She'll eventually begin to change about if she's influenced by your positivity

[Avicenna]

If you want to, sure

[Bklynbadboy12]

Stop saying good morning if she's not saying it back she obviously doesn't want to talk to you. But that's her loss

[Anonymous]

Yeah, if someone hates mornings I deliberate say good morning to them about as full of sunshine I possibly can. 😂😂😂

[OnTheLevel]

You be you. Don't let others dictate your actions.

[anton_dee]

It doesn't matter she morning or midnight girl. Courtesies are important and need to be reciprocated

[Guardian45]

If she doesn't respond that's just RUDE! I would stop talking to her.

[Manuel2]

If you want to be done for haressement. Just play hard yo get

[KrakenAttackin]

No, if she had any interest in you at all she would say GM back.

[AndrewHeavey]

No. If she don't give your respect, then don't bother like that.

[RenRen098]

yes ! i love when a guy or girl says good morning even if i’m not in the mood ! it makes me feel important and makes my day a bit better

[RenRen098]

but i also believe that it’s rude for her to not say it back

[headphonekim]

don't say it just for her to say it back say it because you mean it.

[alcorriher]

^^^^^^^this

[Angel24]

Yes, it will make her happy if she's having a bad day or something.
