What He's Thinking when You Don't Text Back ...
By Holly • Jan 5, 2022 MD

We're not the only ones who freak out when our crush won't text back. Boys get just as annoyed by being ignored. According to Cosmopolitan, here's what a man will start thinking when you take a while to text him back:

1. Don't Send a Follow-up Text... Don't Send a Follow-up Text...

Don't Send a Follow-up Text... Don't Send a Follow-up Text... He wants you to answer, so he'll have the urge to send you a second text.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

2. Maybe She Didn't Get My Text?

Maybe She Didn't Get My Text? When he doesn't get a response, he'll wonder if his phone is to blame.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

3. Is This a Mind Game?

Is This a Mind Game? Some girls love to play mind games, and he'll start to wonder if you're one of them.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

4. Maybe I Did Something Wrong?

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.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

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?

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.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. Oh, I Have a Text, Maybe It's from Her

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.

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. She Better Be Dead

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.

    These are all the thoughts that go through my head when my boyfriend of a week doesn't text me back in a timely manner. Then, I wonder ... what if he's cheating?! Didn't realize how insecure I was until those thoughts started running through my head.
