Guy seems interested in me, but my text has gone unanswered for more then 1/2 day. This is after he initiated a good morning text. I know he had work today, but he has time to post to facebook and like some of my posts. He isn't hiding that he isn't busy. I don't expect a guy to text me all the time. Interested or no? He always texts me good night/morning and we have video chatted quite a few times, we have expressed interest in each other. I am planning on going MIA on him the exact same way to see what he says. When we 1st started messaging online, he did the same thing and I took it as not interested. His texting style has pretty much been consistent and there were a few times w/lots of hours in between answers. I want to video chat again w/him, but I plan on backing off communication to see if he is interested.

Yes, childish games are an excellent foundation for a potential relationship.

Sometimes there's no easy way to say "Duh!"

But after the initial messaging back and forth, he gave me his # and we started skyping.

You're the catch cupcake, act like it. If he isn't interested in what's on the menu, let him go eat somewhere else.

There's a strange aspect in human attraction:we often want what we dont have... and take for granted that which we do have.

Treat and carry yourself as a person of value, character and quality, and usually others soon take notice.

Good luck.

Sigh...I worried for nothing, apparently my phone delayed the response from him and I received a text (sent a lot earlier) very late. He prob thought I was ignoring him.

So this is the guy you plan on flying out to see? Now do you see how bad of a move that would be. Save your money.

This is one of the hazards of communicating by text. Electronic devices are not infallible. And some people get themselves so worked up over a perceived slight, begin plotting their response strategy, etc. Texting and social media have ruined dating.

I could not have said it better.

You know his pattern of messages so why do you feel you need validation as to his interest in you?

If someone is at work, half a day is not a big deal. Sometimes texting works that way. If you want to chat in real time send a prompt, are you busy? Can you talk now?

You sound very needy and egotistic. Playing games won't win you any hearts in love, long term anyway.

STOP. RELYING. ON. TEXT MESSAGES.

They don't really mean anything.
