Does waiting for a guy to text you really work in your favor?

Ok so question for the ladies out there, how much of a difference did it make when you stopped texting a guy? Did you find that he got more interested? I’m in a sitch right now where the guy initiating has become less and less because I feel like I’ve been open and making him lazy in the pursuit. I’m slowly starting to back off, but damnit it’s hard and not in my personality to do it.

i’ve stopped texting a guy and he’s pretty much stopped texting me SO, that lets me know that i was WAY more invested than i should’ve been and it helped me gauge his level of interest. it’s hard, but trust me just stop initiating and you will get more clarity on the situation. i think guys will continue to text girls with no REAL intention, just for the sake of texting back and forth really. so don’t take their level of “texting” as real feelings for you, as it may be really easy to think so. guys will have no intention of progressing it further and will still text you (because they want an ego boost, or are just bored). if you really cared about a friend, or girlfriend you would always not think twice about inititating contact. so, if someoene takes forever or just doesn’t text back then you know what’s up. it’s not that hard to send a text, or give a quick little “hey, what’s up” text. and if they can’t do that, then don’t waste your time and move on.
