Ways to stop yourself from texting them?

I’m probably the odd duck around here, but I try to give someone the benefit of the doubt when it comes to texting. My best friend in the entire world is also the worst person in the world when it comes to texting. It LITERALLY takes her six messages to get back to me sometimes, she just sucks at it. And when it comes to a guy, I try to give him the same approach.

But sometimes that fails me like it did this week. I have dated the guy I’m still talking to for 6 months and then we went on a break for three weeks. We had just said we could try things again a few weeks ago, but now he’s not responding. He can’t text at work so I’m used to him not getting back to me, but it’s been a week and a half since I’ve heard from him.

Right now, I’m going no contact to see what happens. We went no contact for three weeks and it worked, but I don’t know this time. Maybe it’ll work, maybe it won’t, but I can’t keep texting him and waiting around. It hurts too much not hearing from him so I’m stopping. And I’m not a major texter so I just don’t look at my phone, I put it away and forget about it. I know that’s hard, but just busy yourself as much as you can and eventually you’ll stop thinking about it!

I like this one guy who i love so much …At times he seem like he is not intrested on me …at first when we knew each other we use to text everyday…at class he stares at me but i dont act like i know he is looking at me …he compliments me and stalks me but im scared he doesnt like me baxk or what …what should i do ??? I just want to know whether he likes me or not cause im ready to get committed with him and i love him so much

Don’t text him when class is finished , he will notice that you’ve forgotten if he is into you ! X

i would say if you can’t generate interest even by being slutty, he isn’t all that into you.

I get what both of you are saying. He was into me and we both knew what was going to happen. It was fine Monday after. I don’t regret what we did I’m regretting how it’s turning out.

And it is as easy as not texting. For some people easier than others. Flipping technology is sending relationships into places they were never meant to go. Everything is too accessible hence the existence of this topic.

This is a common thing and something that females always tend to fret about, a lot more than men in my opinion.

I’ve been through this and hand on my heart, I can say that it consumed me for a good few weeks. I was texting a guy that I liked and he liked me. At the beginning, we would text everyday and he would reply instantly but then it eventually dropped off when I went on holiday. I knew in my heart of hearts that something had changed when he would take hours and days to reply. I think by me not being there everyday, he realised a few things as did I. We both made the decision to be friends but when we spoke about it, it hurt us both. He wanted to still text me to see how I was etc. but I said no. If we had to talk about anything then he could find me at work and do it that way. To be fair, that’s what he does. Now we never text each other. I find it very difficult to go from texting everyday to absolutely nothing but it was for the best. I would have the biggest urge to text him and I would often start typing a Whatsapp to him and then delete it. What I eventually did was either write what I wanted to say down in an email or I would find something to distract me in that moment. Now it’s a lot easier and I don’t really have the urge to text him anymore and I haven’t written anything down in an email for a month.

It’s hard waiting for things from the opposite sex but I do have to agree with the others when they say that if he does text you, you need a long period of time before replying to him. If you reply instantly, it’s crystal clear to see that you’ve been sitting by your phone waiting for his reply. That screams desperation to the opposite sex and it shows that he has a hold over you a little bit.

It does get easier in time, believe me. Chin up :)

very helpful, my issue:
*him not texting even for a month, and being the one who does it first when he does.
*cant remember the last time he called, i do it all the time, or calling only when he needs my help.
solution:
>writting something here whenever i feel like texting him.
>i know my worth, and it will be just that.
>texting him only makes him go further away.
>if he doesnt value me, someone will.
>lastly, i will enroll for classes for stuff that interest so that i have little time to spare for him.
i hope this helps someone un a similar position, and who wants company implementing this plan.

I just try to keep busy, whether its texting friends or shopping. I try to leave my phone off most of the day to break the habit of texting him.

It’s been very difficult for me to fight the urge to text a guy. Especially if I know he isn’t interested in me. So reading these responses has helped me. Even if it is an old post. I just wish I had gotten on this forum and read this thread five months ago, before I screwed everything up and pushed the guy even further away by constantly texting him and seeming needy. :(

He’s cheating on his fiancé with you… How does that make you feel?

I feel really bad and ashame of myself..but i cannot resist texting him back..we both know we are cheating..we both know we have to stop..but noone want to end this relationship..we are good together and we have such a good understanding..Help me end this relationship..

i am trying to keep myself away from him because he is ignoring me that’s what i also want to forget him n i m trying to keep myself busy in other stuffs but it also not working n he is coming in my mind again n again.

What does texting a person who is ignoring you get you?
What is the reward?
