I think it would be pretty bad for a guy to change his number just to avoid a girl. That is a lot of work.
No big deal. Just remember that next time he texts you :)
There are places in the world these days have go to war when replies are not sent fast enough via text.
There is one thing that I hate the most about men and that is the fact that they are the worst at getting back to you via text.
Does anyone actually have any tips about what I should do if he is not getting back to me and I think something might be wrong (based on other things that have been said).
All valid reasons in my book. As long as I can use the exact same reasons for not texting HIM back.
I am still an old time communicator. I prefer to talk to someone face to face.
LOL. These are very good and I think we have all been in a situation where we are thinking of at LEAST one of these.
Nice post, we should all freak out when we do not get a text back from a significant other!
It looks like there could be a few reasons he is not getting back to you, however, most of these are not “good” in my book.
Yeah, mostly excuses if you ask me.
I have heard the “i never saw your text” sort of thing, but I never believe it.
Yea, that one is BS.
BIG TIME!
I really would like to know what people are thinking when they are not getting back to you right away. You KNOW they are not just “busy”.
Texting is so much fun. When you get addicted to it like I am, it really sucks when you do not get a reply fast enough.
If my b/f does not get back to me at a reasonable time, he better be abducted by aliens!
LOL. Poor guy, I think you might be a little rough with him.
Some of these might be a little weird, but they are all reasons that I have heard!
Well, I have heard most of these excuses as well. It does not take much to send a text back stating that you are busy, right?
In so many cases, you are not sure what the other person is thinking. They could be getting your text and ignoring you on purpose. How are you supposed to know?
Some people, like my sister, really get mad when they do not get a text reply back in a few minutes. What is the big deal?
There is nothing to really worry about, right?
People freak out about things too quickly these days. I procrastinate and that goes for text messages too.
if you are going to have this many GiFs in one post, I am going to have to let it load for a while so I can get the jist of all of them :)
It sort of sucks up a lot of time when they are all trying to load at one time, right?
I love the Seinfeld GIF, that show is my favorite.
I call these types of guys, “irresponsible texters”.
When I do not get a text back I freak out and then I realize that it is not that big of deal…LOL….is it?
Not usually.
GIFs are fun to watch. These really made my day!
I like them too. I waste a lot of time online watching them.
I know, I could waste all night watching them.
After a rough couple of days getting through the holidays, this was a nice pick me up!
Exactly what I was thinking. These are sort of fun to read.
All of these are real entertaining, but honestly, if I do not text you back it is because I am busy right at that second.
Some of these are pretty good. I might have to use them myself!
Nothing to freak out about people. However, sharing these gif’s is a top priority right now LOL.
LOL. that is a very good point!
People seem so concerned when a text is not answered in the first few minutes. I don’t see it as a big deal, but that is just me!
LOL. This is good. Thanks for making my day!
Of course, I have thought of all of these situations, but what if NONE of them are the reason?
I thought about this. There are many different reasons it could be, but these are some of the more popular ones I guess.
This helps me out a little. I have a crush on a guy and we have texted before, but now its all stopped. Do I just assume it was nothing to get excited about?
You COULD make an assumption, but wouldn’t it be easier to just ask him?
I agree. A guy that does not text you back does not need a reason, I think that is a clear sign to move along.
I would take it the same way. It is not easy waiting around for a reply when you are not sure what is happening on the other side.
LOL. Love this. I rarely worry about getting a text back from a guy. It doesn’t matter to me now, since I am single!
This was very entertaining and it made my morning!
None of these are good reasons. If he does not like you, he should tell you that before he just starts to ignore you.
Always a comic in the crowd!
Just a little something to break up the day, right?
That is how I felt about this!
Very funny! I love the GIFs and how they are associated with the reason he is not texting you back.
ALL very good reasons LOL. I wouldn’t worry about whether he is going to text you back or not. I would be more concerned if you do not hear from him at all for a couple of days. Then, all you have to do is ask him.
These are awesome GIFs, LOL. I could buy some of these reasons I guess. It just sucks when you really wanna talk to your man and he does not get back to you right away.
I love GIFs. These are very relevant. Sometimes I wonder why my b/f is not texting me back, but usually it is worry for nothing. Just stay calm.
Entertaining post, that is for sure!
LOL, that is what I thought!
There is always a reason you are not getting a text back. I am usually quite patient, but then when a new conversation is started before one ends, that bothers me.
Maybe it is because he doesn’t “really” like you? I get this feeling sometimes and I am always at a lose as to what I can do about it :/
I used to freak out about things like this, but why? When my b/f doesn’t text me back, I just assume he is busy and I leave it at that. Nothing in life is worth more stress.
LOL. Even though some of these are true, I would not freak out over it. I feel like if you are in a texting relationship, it is not that serious anyway. If the guy is not CALLING you back, then you might have a problem that is worth looking into.
ALL very valid reasons to start a freak out session and get your friends together for a defcon 5 meeting :)
LOL, yea that would be an interesting “defcon 5” meeting!
LOL, some of these are quite good. The sad thing is that they are all realistic :/
I am not sure I would call them realistic reasons. They do happen, but if my boyfriend was holding back from texting me for any of these, I would be pissed.
Now that this is something that became common to me, I tend to worry less about it. If the is not going to text me back, then forget it, I am done with him!
There is no reason to worry. Just make sure that you know it was nothing to worry about first.
LOL, these are worth sharing with my friends that freak out when they do not get a reply in 2 minutes!
At first I was annoyed by the GIFs, but then they all started to fit the reasons he was not texting back :) Big smiles here.
LOL. I could watch these GIFs all day long. Some of them even go along with the point you are trying to make.
I guess for now, these could be considered good reasons. If it was something that happened all the time, I would be curious as to what the real reason was.
Depends on what you consider “good”, I guess.
