You already kno but for the brehs that don’t…if a chick suddenly goes cold, stops being responsive…it’s ALWAYS because of another guy.Reconnected with an ex back in '22, and met up a couple of times. Things seemed to be going ok, texting back and forth she'd reply in seconds. Suddenly, she got covid (she dodged it up to that point.)
Anywho, I'd call and text to check up on her a couple of times in the span of 2 weeks and she seemed ok. Texted her once after that and it was at least 3 or 4 days before she replied. I knew what time it was so I said "cool" and that was that .
If a chick from the past SUDDENLY initiates contact, being all agreeable and shyt…it’s ALWAYS because of another guy
Sometimes we men act like woman playing chess while we playing checkers. Nah.
the assumption that people are making this calculated, cold, weighted decision to ignore you, is sometimes not accurate. That's just projecting meaning sometimes. Because of the deluge of communication, people see a text, and think "oh I need to hit him back, I'll do it later", and then they forget about, because of the rate of other incoming messages. So then they go through like 40 unread messages the next day, and hit you back, by that time, I'm like how do I respond to this a day later? People are just underwater.
That doesn't mean someone ignoring a message isn't purposeful sometimes. Saw a just yesterday, girl who lives in my neighborhood, we talked for like 5 minutes, eye contact, flirting, the whole thing, we have even been on like a mini date a few month back. She does live with a boyfriend, but whatever. If you look at my texts to her, I have sent like 6, in the last year, she has NEVER responded. All totally normal texts.
My cousin years ago told a funny story about texting her Mom, "Hey where are you?" and her Mom didn't answer, until the next day, and said "Target". lol
Last little quote too, is texting doesn't have to be instant, but it should develop like a flow between two people, and you don't always have to gauge just response time, but quality of response.

We also culturally tend to judge people way too harshly, as in it's either true love or fukk you. It's me and no one else, or fukk you. Don't really get this myself, but I try to understand other's mentality. I answer everyone's texts always. Why would I care if someone I am attracted to hits me up, because she's done with another guy? Isn't that just ego? Not being critical of your post, just using it observationally, as in the subtext that I take from it, is that it's a bad thing.
of course that happens, and I do that too, someone doesn't respond or ignores an invite, I'll move to next person. Doesn't mean I have anything against any of them, or one is lesser. It's just options.
You gotta stop making people who you consider an option into a priority.
I appreciate knowing where I stand with folks.

I came to roast OP but he got a point. If you don’t wanna talk then use your adult words and say so 
Exactly. It's not hard to understand. There's exceptions to this but it's crazy how many people in here defend disrespect
If there was a group of friends you were standing around with and yall were talking. You say something. Then the others look at you in silence. And continue talking to each other without acknowledging what you said. That's disrespect
That's the core of it. It doesn't matter if it's a portable device. Unless someone genuinely had their attention elsewhere, planned to text back but forgot or was in a bad mood, it's not right
agreed but shows lack of interest/importance not only in the person texting but also decency and manners.
Suppose I'm just less harsh, because I actually spent time reading a few books on digital communication (a texting one, a social media one, The Chaos Machine, and one called Meganets)
and it's for lack of more delicate term, it's fried people. Changed us intense in ways that are hard to see, had to even realize. The OP has some great points in here about communication eroding, often in the name of "faster", but faster to do what? To spend more time browsing insta or Tik Tok?
The sense of SAFETY and control that texting gives is so important to. Not to mention, reality tv, that shows how people (people that we admire) use texting and communication to
A) control their image (what they text, who they text, when they text)
B) project their power
I know men and women who spend hour analyzing this, (not in the macro sense that I am) but in the sense of who said what, and how they said it, and who left who on read but watched their story, and blocked you but responded on snap, it's just mind numbingly stupid shyt.

The passive-aggressive hint givers in here are probably the same ones who gossip about other grown men. Certain types of people just fear confrontation and lack integrity
If I don't want to talk to someone, I tell them. I don't hide. I use my words and communicate this. Because I'm a human being. That's just me

everything revolves around someones selfish-ness..
