For a while I was baffled as to why would a girl stop replying to my last text, even though just the day before she was very affectionate, talkative, and happy. Like if you don’t like someone, why would you spend weeks to months laughing, sleeping together and talking to them just to not reply anymore, without any reason?

It didn’t make much sense to me, but I think I have an idea why. Based on some passing comments by some women who were more open and free spirited, I think I know why some seemingly good short term relationships end (atleast in my case).

I think it’s simply because some women want us to chase them. Yup. That’s all I can deduce from all this. Usually I never double text, because I see it as a tennis match, and sometimes if the convo is dry or boring I just stop replying. Also sometimes I do take hours upon hours to reply (not on purpose I’m just busy). Something tells me that they feel as though I’m not giving them enough attention so they withdraw even if they like me just to see if I’ll contact them if they go cold. I’ve had some women actually complain once they come back and say “why didn’t you text me this week?” Or “wow you really gave me a lot of space huh”. Coincidence? I think not.

But I could be wrong, fellas, ladies, what do you guys think?
