We’ve been texting for a few weeks now and always joke around with each other like say shut up dumba** and things like that but it’s never serious. That’s how we both are so neither of us get offended. Last night was one of those times where he jokingly said something like go away and I said shut up dumba** and he just read it and didn’t respond. He’s left me on read before but not for more than 30 minutes when he’s busy so it just seems like maybe he got offended or mad that I said that. It’s been more than 12 hours now and he hasn’t texted me back so I’m just wondering if he’s just never going to reach out again or if I should wait a little longer. I don’t want to text him first because I feel like I didn’t really say anything wrong, if he can joke around with me and call me names for fun why can’t I?

So in the first paragraph you mention you both like to call each other dumba and thats how both of you can relate and no one gets and its so funny and in the second paragraph you are actually worried he is offended you calling him dumba. You see the irony here right?
When you have never met and only been texting a few weeks there is no history, no ‘thats how we are’. You cant tell from a few weeks of texting. Secondly its a very bad idea to start with insult jokes in text. Its not funny at some point and gets old fast. So that routine would not work for me.
I dont know why he stopped texting. Could be a million reasons. I doubt its the dumba, since as you said you both found it so funny. More likely he is busy or bored with the texting.Lane
May I ask how old you are? Its OK to joke around with a guy, here and there, to keep him on him toes in the ‘right conditions’ but when you go overboard, or overplay it, he’ll just see you as “pal” or “bud” (like one of the guy’s) as that’s how your coming off, and that’s how he’s receiving you.
Its OK to be sarcastic, in little doses, here and there at the right time IN PERSON but not in a teenagish way by text if you want to score a date. Trying to be “the funny girl’ isn’t going to work for long, as you’re finding out. Not too many guy’s are going to take you seriously and will treat you like a text pal/bud if you act/come off like a text pal/bud.
He see’s no reason to date you, or meet you…just see’s you as a textpal that he can play with from time to time when he’s bored.
