Q&A for How to Make Someone Text You Back

Wait a few days or a week, then pick something that is eventful or a commonality between you two instead of a generic "how’s it going?" Or, pick an activity idea and suggest it to see if she is free.

If your crush doesn’t respond after two texts, it’s a clear sign to give them some space because the ball is in their court now. Any more than one follow-up text will not only make you seem desperate but could also annoy the other person if they don’t want to talk.

It may be that person got distracted doing something else and forgot to respond. It could also be that something came up and they did not have the time to text you back. Give the person a few days to respond before texting them again; they might also have lost interest in the conversation.

Yes, this is entirely possible. If you don't respond to an apology, it might come across as though you haven't accepted it, which can seem like rejection. Try to apologize for your lack of communication, and state that you accept their apology and forgive them.

If possible, see your friend in person and ask them about it. Over a spread of a couple of days, the person might feel annoyed and decide not to respond, or simply doesn't have time.

Do not be friends with them. Friends text each other all the time, not just to ask for stuff.

Send him a picture where you look good and say, "oops, sorry that was for (insert other's guy name)," and then never text him back again.

Leave them alone. There may be many reasons they aren't texting you back quickly. Be patient.

Let him have some space to be with his friend and then come to you when he is ready. Eventually he will begin to think about you and realize he hasn't spent time with you for a while. Every once in a while, you can text him saying something like "Hey. How's your day?" Or "What's up? Are you busy?" Or you can be more direct and ask him to spend a little more time with you. You can say "Hey, do you have some time? I'd like to spend more time with you. I feel like you're drifting away. I want to be with you more."

You should give up on trying to text her and you should hang out with people who accept you for who you are.

Forget him and move on, because he obviously has. If he wanted to be with you, he would be. Men are that simple. Keep busy with your life and do things to improve yourself.

Put your phone in a closed drawer or out of sight, and distract yourself by doing something else: reading, housework, going for a walk, etc.

Apologize for your part in the fight, then just give him space for a couple of days. If he still doesn't respond, talk to him in person. Apologize again and tell him you hope the two of you can still be friends. Most likely it will all blow over.

Give them a couple of days and then try calling them. If they don't answer, they may be trying to tell you something--back off.

Give him a day or two to cool down; he might also just be busy. He may text back, when he feels bad for fighting with you. You could also try apologizing to him, and telling him how much you love him and miss him.

Most likely, he is strapped for time and cannot answer right away, or your text did not seem urgent, so he's waiting until later to respond.

Ignore her, you don't need people who don't need you in their lives. If she wants you, she would reply.

Just talk to him about it. Tell him you feel like he's being distant lately and ask him if there's anything wrong. Direct communication is best in a situation like this.

You can't make them accept your apology and forgive you. The good news is, assuming they're a good friend and whatever you did isn't too serious, they'll probably get over it eventually. Just give them some space for now.

If you know the parent/guardian's number, maybe give them a call? If you don't know the number, your parents might.

It could mean any number of things. Maybe she's often busy, or maybe she just doesn't like texting. It's also possible that she just doesn't think of you as a very close friend. Try asking her what's up. Just say, "Hey, it seems like you never text me back, why is that?"

First of all, keep in mind that if you haven't ever actually seen each other then she may not be who she says she is. This person may have lost interest in being that person and stopped talking to you because of that. On the other hand, it's also possible that she's just busy. Maybe there was a family emergency. It's possible she's just being cautious, seeing as you've never actually met. You never know what's going on. Try to be patient and wait for her to get back to you.

Not at all! They probably see you a lot and therefore don't feel the need to text you that often. If you almost never see them, then they might just not feel the need to text you. It's also possible that they just got busy and don't have enough time to text.

Emojis. They will use a lot of interesting emojis. They might also tell you a secret, or something deep/important about themselves and/or ask you about something deep/important about you.

Chances are, they probably won't answer you. They might get fed up, and decide to ignore you altogether, or even turn their phone on silent or block your number. It's probably best to just try to be patient.

I wouldn't read too much into it. Of course, if he's your ex, then he may not be interested in talking with you anymore. But that could be true whether or not he said "I'll text you later." "I'll text you later" is like "I'll see you later." If someone said "I'll see you later" after hanging out with you, you wouldn't sit around waiting for them to drop by.

Try texting them on a different app. If you are texting them on iMessage, maybe try texting them on Instagram instead.

You should talk to her about it and explain that it makes you feel bad when she doesn't put a lot of effort into responding to your messages. If she doesn't work to fix the issue, then I would stop sending her anything serious.

If that's the case, the person might not be very interested in talking to you, or they might just be shy or introverted. Try asking them why they never text you first.

If they have "Read Receipts" enabled on their phone, it will say "Read" and the time once they have read your message. If they don't have this function enabled, there is no way to tell.
