I always initiate the texts. He does respond back. It could be an immediate response but sometimes it takes him a while (10 mins or longer to respond). Sometimes he doesn't even reply back and leaves me waiting. He usually doesn't ask me questions. I am usually asking him questions. Is he interested or just being nice and responding back so he won't look bad? I really like him and hope he likes me so you think I should continue to text him or am I just kidding myself and it looks like he is not interested?

I have experienced this same ordeal a numerous amount of times. In this situation it depends on the guy's personality. For some guys when they like a girl they always find ways to communicate with her whether it's texting, email, phone, instant message, or face to face talking. For others they are to afraid to jump into a conversation dreading that it will lead no where. Some are afraid of awkward silences so they tend to make conversation limited and giving you one worded answers giving off that they are uninterested in the conversation so it's not their fault if there is no more to say. Of course there are the guys who are just to afraid to say something stupid that they don't answer at all. My advice to you is to talk to the person face to face. If you have a connection and he enjoys your company then he most likely is just not a lively texter, like most guys. If you find you are uncomfortable in each others presence and he seems to not pay attention to you then your best bet is to accept your friendship or avoid him until you are over him. I hope i have helped you solve your problem:)

Sorry to say, but chances are he is just being polite. If he texts back with one word answers or just lets the conversation die, then he is most likely not interested.



I was in the same situation a few weeks ago, and I figured that since he was texing back he must like me. However, a new guy soon came into my life, and he was texting me every other day without me even having to start the conversation. Moral of the story is, if a guy wants to talk to you he will MAKE IT HAPPEN, no matter what. My advice to you is let the guy alone and find someone who is interested and will flirt back with you! You deserve it!

Although a breakup with a boyfriend or with a girlfriend can be really depressing, it does not need to mean that the relationship is over. Even if the breakup should suddenly leave you feeling confusion and loneliness, you may still feel really eager to heal the wounds and jump right back in to that relationship with your ex. If you are asking yourself "How can I get my ex back?", then there are some things you need to know. If you learn how to react following a break up, and you become aware of how not to strain the relationship even further, then getting ex back will be easier than ever.



If you're wondering, can I get my ex boy friend back by pretending to be this way or that way? Then you have to wonder why you want to be back with him anyway. You might be better off finding someone who doesn't make you need to pretend.



Well, there's no guarantee you'll get back together, but the odds tilt more and more in your favor when you do things right. Show her how much you miss her, and how sorry you are. Just pay attention to what she does. If your gestures of sorrow only make her angry-she throws away the roses or something dramatic like that, for example-change your tactics until you find that something she responds to.



If it appears she/he is moved on, still send her/him a card you wrote just wishing her/him a great week. But don't look as if you have any expectations. Your thoughtfulness might really impress them.



"What should I do to get my ex back?" Be on your best behavior and make your ex remember what drew them to you in the first place. They'll remember your good points and will miss them. Then you'll have a better chance of being able to get back together with your ex.



These are just the beginning steps in winning your Ex back. They are the initial steps I followed when I lost the love of my life. And frankly these aren't my original ideas. I turned when I had no idea of how to get my true love back.



Still feeling hopeless and frustrated? Want to get back together as soon as possible - maybe TODAY even?

There IS a hope - and a good chance of reconciliation for you, so act on it - or you lost them forever!

If he's not asking questions back he probably isn't too interested. But just texting is a hard way to tell. Flirt with him in person and you'll get a better feeling of how he feels. If it doesn't work out you can easily become friends if you text and don't worry, there are plenty of other fish in the sea

Some broken hearted boyfriends and girlfriends who wish to get back together with an ex resort to email. Do you think this is a smart move or a dumb move? Well, it depends on what is said in the email. There are couples who get back together after an email exchange, but there are others who only ended up getting hurt because their emails were ignored. It really depends on why the couple broke up in the first place. There are some arguments that an email cannot fix.



If you are also serious to get back together with an ex, do not date other people as much as possible. It is tempting to just go out there and be back in the game, but if you feel deep down your heart that you ex was the one for you and you wish to give it another go, then do your best to not date anyone else while you work on how to get back together with an ex. If not, it is very pretentious of you to wish that you get back together when you are seeing people on the side.



It is also a good move for you to recall those important dates when you were together. This will show that your intentions to get back together with an ex are really pure. That's what's really important in the relationship. You have to show your ex that you want to get back together, not because you are afraid to be alone and you've been used to him or her being around, but because you don't see anyone else but him or her to spend the rest of your life with.



Now Here's the deal, Pay Close Attention,



On the next page you will discover some conventional and some very unconventional tricks to make your ex come begging you to take them back. These are a set of easy to follow psychological tricks which will make your ex crawl back to you within a few days guaranteed. So If you want to get your ex back then I strongly urge you to read everything on the next page before it is too late.

It's going to be pretty painful after breaking up with someone you love so much. It's inevitable that you're going to feel very down, sad and depressed. Sometimes it seems you spend every waking moment thinking about how to get your ex back. Try to visit this site in order to get the best benefit out of it https://tr.im/Jroom



Do a simple search, and you're bound to find a plethora of information, with a whole host of different opinions, sometimes seemingly off opposing viewpoints. To focus in on something that's going to help you, the first thing you think about is establishing some common courtesy.



First off, NEVER play mind games with people. This will only get people hurt and will probably end up worsening the situation. I only mention this because naturally people are ruled by their emotions rather than thinking their actions through thoroughly. Think the situation through before doing things based on your emotions. Remember, even if you do manage to get people to do what you want, this amounts to manipulation, and however good you feel now, I guarantee it won't last very long.

Honestly, I think he is being polite at this point.



First off, I am old school and STRONGLY believe that if a man is interested in a woman, HE is the one who makes the effort to contact HER. I believe this because men ALWAYS go after what they want, no woman has to aggressively pursue them unless she is insecure about his feelings and is hoping to change their feelings. In that case, you are nervous, edgy and always unsure of their feelings and intentions, do you feel that way sometimes?



Stop texting him, don't replace it with telephone calls and if he begins texting or calling you then he is showing interests, which is what you want. If he doesn't then you also have your answer and you need to move on.

The first step in getting back with your ex is understanding why the heck you broke up in the first place. Believe it or not, some people are clueless when it comes to this one thing. And the reason they're clueless is because it is so hard to look at yourself and your own faults. Everything that goes wrong in a relationship is always the other person's fault. We're perfect. It's they who screwed up. Well, news flash...we all screw up when it comes to relationships. Nobody is perfect. So the first thing you need to do is objectively look at why the relationship went sour.



On the next page you will find a set of techniques that are guaranteed to make your ex come begging you to take them back.

Move on! If he was interested then he would text you first and when you text him he would ask you things. He is just being nice.
love me.
2009-08-17 11:24:20 UTC
Girl I know how you feel!

Just don't text him for a day or 2 until he says something to you, if he doesn't then forget about him!

if he doesn't like you then hes oviously missing out on a great girl:]

good luck.

My lover gave me breakup recently. I still love my ex so much. I realized heartbroken after breakup. When I realized that we were truly over with no hope of ever getting back together I cried and cried. But we got married and we are now big family with a beautiful baby girl.

if a guy is interested he will text or call or find a way to get ahold of you, he has your number so if he wanted to talk he would do it first

so he prolly isnt interested.





WATCH "hes just not that into you"

if he doesn't initiate anything, or doesn't try to keep the conversation going, it could mean that he's just being polite. wait a little before you text him again to see how he reacts! answer mine? https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20090817070323AAXDqoH
