Texts just question mark?

Hi Kerry.

I would receive it as: you really haven’t been on my mind over the past few days, but I was bored and thought I would check in to see if you respond.

A man who’s interested will check in the next or the day after (there’s a 48 hour man rule I learned), but not with a lone question mark, usually its a “good morning”, “how are you?” or “how was your day?” text. I would respond with “??” to see what he does and if he doesn’t step up delete his number and move on. Don’t get into the text trap with men—they know how to reach you and ask you out again if he’s interested enough.

Thanks ladies!
LOL! It’s funny how each of us interpret that simple ? in different ways! My thoughts when I saw it go like this:
1. He is so lazy, he can’t use his words?
2. He is wondering where I have been? What I’m up to? Why i haven’t called?
3. He has a communication problem and a ? is the best he can do?
4. He thinks I am a “mind reader”!!!!!!!

I will take your advice and see what happens!

I also would go with ?? back, you don’t lose anything and it’s too early to be questioning or lecturing a guy on his texting habits, just let him tell you who he is.

I also agree with Ali, low effort textors are often lazy and not relationship minded, that is what I found in my experience.

I just told him I was working and he said me too! Wierd!

Well, that’s male lingo i have NEVER quite heard before. I am going to give him 1 week to ask me out for a 3rd date, {only because I am leaving town this weekend and he knows it} if he doesn’t, i am moving on…and maybe even before then!!!! We shall see!!!! This dating world is something else!!!!!!!!

I have another quick question…….this will benefit many women out there with the same problems now or in the past. I know the man’s “actions” must follow his words he says to us but REALLY…how do we really KNOW when a man really genuinley likes us, loves us, and wants to be with us OR whether they are just telling us what we want to hear to get what they want, play us, when what they really want is a FWB or a placeholder till they find someone better? What ways can you even tell the difference?

Hi Kerri

You will only know after time. He will keep doing what he says he is going to do and his actions will reflect his feelings. Any dickwad can maintain interest for a few weeks or a month or so. He needs to be the initiator and CONTINUE to CONSISTENTLY be the initiator.

That was really GOOD advice! This has just happened to me in the recent past and I do NOT want to go through that again {or anyone else for that matter!} It is painful when you realize the TRUTH after 6 months of dating. It really hurts. And after they are through with you, playing you, and find someone else, they DISAPPEAR!!!! POOF! No explanations, no contact with you, no NOTHING! I feel bad for any woman who has to endure this when they have deep feelings for the man. And as I continue down this dating path, I want more knowledge and to be prepared! Thanks again ladies!

What does it mean when you get two lines a question marks from a guy after he says hes looking forward to seeing you.

It means you deserve better. Real men communicate.

He reply my txt with a question mark

Kerri,

Anon Thank you. I read all the responses and couldn’t believe a Women who knows her worth.

Ladies, stop giving men excuses to disrespect you.

Real men CALL, they don’t text. You deserve better. Stop settling.

I let men know with a text response.
I deserve better. Goodbye Mr. Texting!!
