Beautiful Kisses Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 When a guy sends you a good morning text you respond, but when you send him one he ignores it and doesn't respond. How would that make you feel? Would you ignore him the next time he texted you?
Redhead14 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 It doesn't make me feel anything. I continue on with my day. At the end of the day, if I haven't heard from him, I may send a light text, how was your day? If he doesn't respond, I don't send another one at all. If he contacts me first after that, I will respond. If it has been more than a week without a satisfactory explanation, I've moved on. Don't waste any energy thinking about it. 2
Redhead14 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 And, frankly, if a man let's a week go by without a satisfactory explanation, you will have already sensed in other ways that this is going to happen. Listen carefully to him and your gut. If you do sense that, don't try to pull him back. Let him do what he will do. Pulling at him and getting clingy will drive him further away and compromises your dignity. This goes for men as well.
Michelle ma Belle Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 This isn't a simple answer because the question is so vague. Are we officially dating or not? What might his morning text say? Is the response I give one that just acknowledges his morning text or would it include a question requiring a response? How do you know he deliberately ignored the text? Regardless if we're dating or not, if I respond to a text where there is a question or something that requires a response and he doesn't answer for whatever reason, sure, it would be a bit annoying initially. I think that's a normal reaction. As for how I'd react, it would depend on who this guy is to me. If he's my boyfriend, I'd be far more forgiving. I'd also be grateful for the morning text which shows me I was on his mind. If he was just some random guy I like or am hoping to date more, I'd still try not to over think things and let it slide a time or two BUT if it seems to be a pattern with him, I'd definitely confront him about and find out what the deal is. His response and subsequent actions would likely play a big role in whether or not I continue on with him. Regardless of either scenario, I don't see any reason to play games like not returning his text or whatever. That's just childish. 1
me85 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 That's a pet peeve of mine coming from anybody. My mom could ignore my texts/messages and I'm like WTH? lol Woman! Don't ignore me! haha I wouldn't play games. Instead, I would just be like "Why you no respond??" No need to get too upset no matter if it's a serious boyfriend or not. Not over something like that. Just make a joke of it.
CarrieT Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I would question my own paranoia at being so anxious at RESPOND TIMES to texting.

Just make a joke of it. Lol that's funny. But it depends on what he said...if he said something like "good morning, I miss you. You are beautiful, hope you have a good day." As he is going into work. That's different than if he just said Good Morning.
me85 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Lol that's funny. But it depends on what he said...if he said something like "good morning, I miss you. You are beautiful, hope you have a good day." As he is going into work. That's different than if he just said Good Morning. Of course. The polite thing to do (which is how I am) is to always respond however lightly I may respond at times. I still respond. But I wouldn't take offense to a guy not responding if all I said was "good morning" to him. If I said "Good morning! & blah blah blah..." then that's more in depth and I would expect to hear back from him in that situation. Yes.

It would great if she responded lol
me85 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 You're right. Where's the OP? It would great if she responded lol She's probably texting the guy...lol jk Working? Living her life? It's silly how much time I spend on LS but it becomes an addiction. lol It's like how I was when I first joined FB. "OMG! I got a like and a response!!! Woot woot!" sooooo silly. But work is super slow and they don't mind me being on the internet because they know I usually have nothing to do. (office administration/customer service) 1
d0nnivain Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I wouldn't love it but alone it wouldn't make me bail. I'd probably point out that I respond & he doesn't then ask him why. But it would be a nice ask not accusatory.
Author Beautiful Kisses Posted October 15, 2014 Author Posted October 15, 2014 You're right. Where's the OP? It would great if she responded lol Lol hi , sorry I was actually getting some sleep before work. I've been working crazy hours, but anyway he always just text good morning and I'll say good morning I hope you have a good day and he'll say you too. That's pretty much it, today I thought I'd tell him first , I just say good morning I hope you have a great day with a smiley face. Lol no response yet, I must say though that anytime in the past when I texted him good morning first he always responded. I'm not sweating it I was just asking opinions on it. To the girl that called me paranoid you're NUTS!! HAHA!!!
