I’ve been seeing someone for two months, every week. He seems to like me a lot, I’ve met all his friends and he treats me well and do fun things together. Today we texted a bit in the morning, and he asked me how my day was going, but when I asked it back to him he saw the message and never replied. He’s been online since and this has never happened before :S for those who have strong boundaries and high self respect, what would you do once he does answer?

its only been this morning????………………….breathe. Read Eric’s article on what texting means to a guy. then breathe again.

It’s just texting. He may have looked at the text, got distracted and forgot he didn’t respond.
Just relax. When he responds act normal. Unless this was happening all the time, I wouldn’t stress about it.

I have read the article, but he read the message and has been online since, and not answered, isn’t that disprespectful?

I would do nothing and go about my day.
Allow him to get back to you when he’s available.
Texting is truly not important so try not to make it a big deal.Miss_Aspiring
This wouldn’t bother me at all. So what, it’s taken hours for him to respond? He’s probably busy living his life. Texting is just texting, it’s not important – what’s important is how he treats you in person, and the time you spend together. Are you happy with this guy? It sounds like you are. Just take a deep breath and keep living your life. If you get mad at him for this, it will make him less likely to want to talk to you.

I would act totally normal. I would assume the guy has a life and got distracted and forgot to respond. I mean he asked how your day was going…seems like things are normal to me. Who knows maybe he responded back and you didn’t get it. Happened to me with my boyfriend the other day. He was in a bad reception area and he showed me on his phone where he replied but I didn’t get it. Do you normally text on and off all day? If so I’m sure he’ll text you a little later. Don’t worry about it.

I haven’t heard from the guy I’m dating since yesterday. I know he’s busy, and I’m very busy too, so I really, truly don’t mind. If I didn’t hear anything in a week, I’d wonder. But seriously, taking a few hours to respond is not disrespectful. It’s normal.

Don’t stress about it. I haven’t heard from my BF all day either – not since I saw him last night. He often texts me good morning sunshine, etc. but nothing today – I assume he’s having a busy day – no big deal. Guys at work focus on work – usually – or they just think all is well and will text you when they are thinking of you/seeing you/missing you etc. but only since this morning I wouldn’t worry.

Just give it time he will respond.. I know sometimes I look at my phone and respond mentally and forget to actually reply… or he just might be busy.

I saw this on Pinterest the other day and it cracked me up. I had to show it to my boyfriend because it is so onpoint with how a lot of women behave now.
“How women text: I can’t believe I gave him my whole heart and he just shits on it like it’s nothing. I HATE MEN!!
Never mind, he just texted back. False alarm.”
Pardon the language but I wanted to quote it verbatim. I thought it was too funny not to share. It’s so true it’s scary! :)

I really think you are way too attached to your phone.
Turn off the sound….put in on a high shelf and don’t look at it for twenty four hours.
If you cannot do that then you need to get more interested in the world around you and stop with the phone. It is way too important in your life.
I grew up in a time before cell phones….yep, that is right….there was a time with no cell phones….and I had BFs and everything…..amazing I know.

RCS, Teri, Kaye, lol …
OP, relax, gosh.

No it’s not “disrespectful” who says he has to drop whatever he’s doing to text you? Don’t you have a life too? He’ll text when he’s available.
Maria
Did your text require a reply? Or was it more formal “and how are you?” back at him? Maybe he does not even think a reply is required.
Keep an eye on this, if your texts require a reply and he ignores them for more than 12 hours, it would be disrespectful. One way to deal with it – do not text him anymore for a while. He’ll get the message. Guys are much better at understanding “signs” and “signals” than we women.
Rose
I would not do anything other than taking my time to reply myself. They get the message better than if we nag about it.
