Txting

this sounds sooo stupid but i'm not really sure what to do. my bf usually txts me everyday, however i sent him a msg yesterday & he still hasn't replied. he's def got the txt coz i've got 1 of those phones that tells you when someone has read your msg so that's no excuse. we haven't been going out that long so i don't wanna sit down & have 'the talk' with him incase it freaks him out. do you think i should send another txt or just wait for him to txt me?

why don't you call him then?

did the text even end with a question? maybe he ran out of credit, maybe he's busy, maybe he's shy and can think of nothing to say. who knows. i very much doubt he's decided he now hates you though, and wishes to cease contact.

what would 'the talk' involve? if my girlfriend sat my down and told me off about not replying to a text, i'd be a little freaked out...

to be honest, it's not just the txting. he lives 5 minutes down the road & i only see him once a week. another thing that annoys me is that he's got this online profile thing & all his msgs are from girls with loads of kisses at the end & he always deletes my msgs so they can't see. he's never had a girlfriends before so maybe it's something to do with that.

hmm, ok. i try and see my girlfriend whenever possible, and we live MILES away, so i reckon that's quite bad. if he deletes the messages, then that at least shows he cares what you think, and it also means he isn't trying to make you jealous. so there's a chance he means well, but just doesn't know what to do. is he a shy guy? maybe try and take the lead - call him, or go over to his house.

as a guy, i can assure you - if you're his first girlfriend, he'll probably be very keen to keep you as his girlfriend. so talk to him, and he should pay attention to you.

Eh? No, he's deleting his girlfriend's messages so the other girls won't see!

OP, that is really bad! He lives so close and yet he can't be bothered to see you and he wants other girls to think he's single! I hate this phrase, but he's playing you.

yeah he is quite shy but i do always try & take the lead. thing is, i dunno whether he's just trying to play it cool or what but it's just coming across as though he's not that interested. some days he sends me loadsa msgs saying he luvs me & then i get days like this where i hear nothing. i'm just getting mixed msgs from him all the time & i dunno whether to just move on or give him a chance. people say i can do better but i do actually really like him... grrr bloody men!! lol
