Receiving text later in the day

[Prozac]

Hypothetically speaking, let's say you sent a text to a girl at lunchtime. Nothing big is going on, it's just you texting some girl. She doesn't respond for a few hours, but does eventually respond.

This is obviously a sign of low buying temperature or whatever lingo you want to use (or some other circumstances not worth considering), but what would you dudes do here?

This is not obviously a sign of anything. Maybe she wasn't near her phone. Maybe she went from the gym to the shower to the bed and took a nap, or maybe she was driving while she saw the message yet was cool enough to make a mental note to herself to text you back.

you can't over analyze these type of things. like guywhowon said, there could be a million reasons why she didn't respond immediately. But since she took a while to respond, I wouldn't respond to her immediately either. I never recommend replying immediately anyways.

true enough. you guys really don't let up on the tiny things, do you?

could have used some lines i could rip for today or another time, but your advice will do. thanks

Girls will sometimes play "hard to get" so to speak. I usually give it time before writing texts back too, no matter who it is. Girls are the same.

Don't trip over it too much.

Sure, I'd appreciate that.

I called her after a few texts back and forth. She didn't answer. I left a message teasing her and telling her to get off her cute bum and call me, then left to do more important ****.

She DID eventually call me, as I found out this morning, but it was 4 hours after I left my text, which was around 7:00. Couldn't pick up even if I wanted to, since I was asleep.

Plan on calling one more time this week. Good idea, y/n?

You need to be careful about giving all your "power" away. With you initiating everything, SHE is the one who controls the entire frame. She can play mind games with you by not replying/answering, and seeing how you are going to REACT.

My advice would be to play it cool for a few days and lay low. Show her you have more important things going on than sitting around staring at your phone waiting for her to get back to you.

I'm not planning on calling any more than one more time, if you were thinking that badly of me

In the end, I ended up calling this chick yesterday, on Wednesday. She didn't pick up, and I went on with my life.

She sent a text message again, saying something along the lines of 'you're not good at this lol'. I got a small laugh out of this, alongside the small bit of me that was bothered by it.

I'm thinking of ignoring it. She's trying to get a rise, and the few texts I've come up with just don't vibe right. Responding at all seems pretty stupid.
