He wants you to answer, so he'll have the urge to send you a second text.
2. Maybe She Didn't Get My Text?
When he doesn't get a response, he'll wonder if his phone is to blame.
3. Is This a Mind Game?
Some girls love to play mind games, and he'll start to wonder if you're one of them.
4. Maybe I Did Something Wrong?
Men usually get the cold shoulder after they've done something wrong, so he'll rethink everything he did that day to make sure he didn't upset you.
If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.
5. Should I Try Calling?
Some girls prefer to talk over the phone than to text, so he'll debate whether or not he should give you a ring.
6. Oh, I Have a Text, Maybe It's from Her
Every single time his phone beeps, he'll look at the screen, hoping to see your name.
7. She Better Be Dead
Of course, he doesn't actually want this to be true. He's just annoyed that he isn't getting his way.
