Not responding to messages does make many people upset and felt unwanted regardless of the reason behind it, so best shot is to state your reason on why you couldn't text (again), say a small sorry and wait. If he still doesn't talk then it's good you dodged a bullet cuz it would be the case everytime

Yeah, he might have gotten upset, then gave you the cold shoulder.
People just need to understand... sometimes people don't text back for a day.

I suspect that he felt you were pulling back when you took longer than usual to reply and the appropriate reaction for a man when this happens is for him to pull back as well, otherwise he will seem over eager/needy and you will loose interest. He will reply, when he does, don't escalate things by waiting just as long as he has, reply when you see it and it is convenient for you and the conversation will get back on track. He most likely doesn't want to loose you which is why he is waiting to reply.

On the money. One of the worst things a guy can do is look too needy. If you set the tone that you are too busy to reply to him more than once a day, dont be surprised if he does the same.

Who knows what’s happening on his end. He could have lost interest, he might be busy, he might be playing games. None of that matters. What matters is your actions - just stay cool, don’t fight it. Anything else will smother it quickly.

Probably he got frustrated by your behaviour in the first place, also because it is soo early in your relationship he probably won't understand your reasons.
I guess you have to wait now, maybe you can double text him if you really care, this would improve his mood for sure and help him understand you had real issues. Next time this happens I suggest you to find 30 seconds to made a brief quick answer to his first message saying you are very busy and you will answer beck ASAP.

Ball's on his court.
More on their emotional maturity than yours. Might want to see this as a red flag if there isn't a legitimate excuse to at least not responding. Silent treatment is cruel imo
Also hope you were truly busy and not just weighing pros/cons in your head whether to reach out or not

He’s just not that into you

Go over and suck his dick. His will improve his sour mood.
[–]TMGThro 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Haha I was thinking of inviting him over tomorrow evening but I won't be able to if he doesnt reply
[–]zackit 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Why not though?
[–]TMGThro 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I took the plunge and double texted basically saying I'm so stressed out and I need his help to de stress. He messaged back within 5 mins 🤣 now I know his real intentions
[–]zackit 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Well... you asked for something specific, he came through.
He is probably playing games, but offering sex and then getting annoyed with him wanting sex is kinda dumb, no offense.
[–]TMGThro 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm not annoyed at all. It's just made it clear that I need to ensure I don't get attached. I'm happy with a fwb situation, I wasn't lying to him when I said I need help haha

Silence speaks loudly. There is no excuse to not text back in a timely manner.
[–]HughBeaumont500 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hit & quit
Aka - slam-bam-thank you-maam
Naw I dunno
[–]swimstud5151 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"had sex" were the key words here...
[–]Puzzleheaded_Tea_17 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just like you got busy and didn't have time to text, he can too. Don't panic.
People aren't always waiting by their phone or computer. Sometimes I leave my phone in my car or else the battery dies and people think I've dropped dead. Calm down.
