Worried that he\u2019s not going to get back to you ever again? Anxious that he\u2019s found someone else? This article seeks to explore the possible reasons why he hasn\u2019t texted you for 3 days \u2013 as well as how you can deal with that.<\/p>\n
We get it. It isn\u2019t nice when the guy you like suddenly goes dark for three days. It\u2019s a nervy period. You want to think he\u2019s just busy, but at the back of your mind there is that feeling that something is up. Maybe it was something you said, or maybe he\u2019s bored. How we react is entirely down to how we ordinarily respond to things. If we\u2019re usually positive, upbeat people, we\u2019ll brush it off and assume he\u2019ll get back to us eventually. If we\u2019re a bit negative and always assume the worst? We\u2019ll assume that he\u2019s met someone else. The truth is, his silence could be down to any number of reasons. Let\u2019s take a look at what it might mean if he hasn\u2019t texted for three days.<\/p>\n
He really is busy<\/b><\/p>\n
How can someone be\u00a0so\u00a0busy that they can\u2019t even send one little text? It sounds ridiculous. But life sometimes gets so in the way that texting someone back \u2013 even someone we have a crush on \u2013 gets bumped down in our list of priorities. Then what happens is that we genuinely\u00a0forget\u00a0to text. If life has got on top of him lately, the good news is that he will text back eventually. In the meantime, it\u2019ll do you no harm to shoot him a text to see how he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s playing it cool<\/b><\/p>\n
Maybe he\u2019s a cool cat who has decided to play it cool with you. Instead of looking needy and desperate, he\u2019s going to go a few days without texting you to see what you\u2019d do. Actually, this is less playing it cool and more playing a game. And no one likes that, right? If he\u2019s decided to act all cool to see if you\u2019ll come running back to him, asking where he is and telling him that you miss him, try not to participate in his game. It\u2019s immature. If he likes you, he wouldn\u2019t disappear for three days. Call his bluff and wait him out. He\u2019ll come back if he is interested.<\/p>\n
He thought it was your turn to reply\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cYou were waiting for me to reply? I was waiting for you to reply!\u201d Hilarity ensues. Yep, sometimes he is waiting for you while you\u2019re waiting for him to reply. This is a genuine mistake that does happen. Ever shot someone a text at the exact same time they shot you one? Their text would have come in at precisely the moment you sent yours. Because you were so distracted sending yours, you didn\u2019t see theirs. So you close their conversation box and don\u2019t reopen it until you get another notification. Only, that notification isn\u2019t coming because they\u2019ve already texted you and are waiting for YOU to reply! It\u2019s a mix up \u2013 but it happens.\u00a0Sometimes, modern technology lets us down. Either your phone didn\u2019t work or theirs didn\u2019t. Either way, they didn\u2019t get your reply and are still waiting.<\/p>\n
He can\u2019t think of a response<\/b><\/p>\n
Check the last text you sent him. Did it leave him with no where to take the conversation? Did you send him a one word answer (again)? If you have a habit of sending him closed responses, he might be unsure of where to keep taking the conversation next. To keep the convo alive, send him interesting replies. Ask questions. Don\u2019t kill it with an \u201cokay\u201d or a \u201csure.\u201d Guys like to lead convos, but they need help from you. If your last reply was a bit of a conversation killer, his silence might just be that he thought you weren\u2019t interested enough to give him a better response. How to deal with this? Take a look at the last few texts you sent him. If you were hardly the life and soul of the conversation and gave him drab one word answers, it\u2019s time that you started to be a bit more talkative and creative with your texts. Give him a reason to text you back. Be fun, be flirty and ask him some questions.<\/p>\n
He needs some space<\/b><\/p>\n
Were you guys intensely texting recently? Maybe he thought it was too much and needed some space to himself. If so, you should be totally cool with that. Give it to him. If you start asking where he\u2019s gone, it could frighten him off.<\/p>\n
There is someone else involved<\/b><\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve been texting him but nothing is official, he\u2019s perfectly within his rights to text other girls \u2013 just like you\u2019re within your rights to text other guys if you wanted to. And look, sometimes a guy prefers to text one girl and not the other. Sometimes, he hasn\u2019t got the time to text the two of you. If you\u2019ve been suspecting for a while now that you\u2019re part of a menage \u00e0 trois \u2013 perhaps there have been clues on Facebook \u2013 your suspicions are probably on point. What can you do in this instance? Not much. If you really like him, you could try to convince him that you\u2019re the one he should be texting. Maybe send him a cute video message to get his attention. But honestly? Just play it cool. Don\u2019t put all your eggs in one basket. Do what he\u2019s doing \u2013 text other guys. Give yourself some options.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s had second thoughts<\/b><\/p>\n
Sometimes, a guy (and a girl) just has second thoughts about the whole thing and stops texting. Should he have told you that he\u2019s done with texting you? It\u2019d be polite. Unfortunately, that\u2019s not how it works. Three days is a fairly long time not to text someone, so there is a good chance he\u2019s given up and has moved on. If so, it\u2019s better to leave him be. You\u2019d rather text someone who actually wants to text you, right?<\/p>\n
Do you have tips on\u00a0what to do when a guy stops texting you?<\/p>\n
Stay happy!<\/p>\n
