Should You Even Bother to Text Him Back?

Even if you like a guy, it won't always be worth it to text him back. Sometimes, you should leave your messages unanswered. How do you tell when you should write out a reply, and when you should leave it be? Here's a little test by Cosmopolitan that'll tell you if you should text him back or not:

1 What Did He Text You?

What Did He Text You? If he texted you, asking if you were up, he's probably looking for a late night booty call. If he texted you, only saying hey, then you should only respond if you have something to talk about, because he clearly doesn't. And, of course, if he texts you something personal and sweet, make sure you write back!

If he texted you, asking if you were up, he's probably looking for a late night booty call. If he texted you, only saying hey, then you should only respond if you have something to talk about because he clearly doesn't. And, of course, if he texts you something personal and sweet, make sure you write back! However, if his messages are persistent and entirely noncommittal, it's likely he's not worth your time. Remember, a guy genuinely interested will make an effort to communicate meaningfully and consistently. Trust your instincts and don't settle for half-hearted attempts.

If it's the same exact text as always, then your conversation is probably going to go the same way as always. That can be pretty darn boring. However, if he texts you something fresh and fun, answer him back!

3 If Your Friend Told You about the Guy You're Texting, Would You Tell Her to Text Him Back?

If Your Friend Told You about the Guy You're Texting, Would You Tell Her to Text Him Back? If your answer is no, then he's clearly a player, or at least a waste of time. Of course, if you'd want her to text him, then you should text him yourself.

If your answer is no, then he's clearly a player, or at least a waste of time. Of course, if you'd want her to text him, then you should text him yourself. Remember, it's essential to value your own time and energy by avoiding those who don't reciprocate genuine interest. Don't let the excitement of potential romance blind you to clear signs of disinterest or red flags. After all, you deserve to invest your efforts in someone who actually appreciates and values your attention. Listen to your instincts, and don't be afraid to walk away if something feels off.
