Expert Answer

If the conversation just sort of died out naturally, yes. Send him a comment about something you both have in common so you can restart the convo.

Question

Not every person who leaves you on read is bad. What if they´re busy? What if they have family issues? This article is very dehumanizing.

Jacob Collier

Community Answer

This article is a suggestion. Not a step by step of what to do if someone leaves you on read. If they are busy they will end up getting back to you. Don't block them unless they have said something or given you a reason to. If they have family issues then should get back to you when they resolve those issues.

Question

What do I do if I get left on read though?

The most simple answer is to wait for a response. You could always try the other options that the article suggests.

Question

What if they blocked me? Should I get a new phone number? Should I make an alt Instagram and Facebook?

Jacob Collier

Community Answer

No. If they blocked you, then they probably do not want to talk to you anymore. If they decide to change their mind then they will unblock you. Otherwise, just move on.

Question

How do you start a conversation with your crush who barely ever replies to you? How do you start a casual and non-awkward conversation?

Jacob Collier

Community Answer

A good conversation starter would be bringing up anything that you both like, such as: if you both like movies then talk about a new movie coming out. If you both like video games, start talking about what games you are excited for this year or upcoming events in games. If you both like music, then talk about new albums that artists released. Just keep it about both of you and don't stray too far to yourself but don't stray too far to just them as well.

Question

I sent her a text asking if she's doing great 'cause she left me on seen, but then left me on seen again, so I asked her why but she's still leaving me on seen. What should I do?

Community Answer

She's probably busy, but if she still hasn't responded, try distracting yourself with other people or things. She could just want to see you suffer.

Question

What if they are a family member?

Gia

Community Answer

Wait for them to answer; they're probably just doing something essential. If they've already left you on read for a day, try double messaging them and telling them what interesting stuff occurred to you recently.

Question

The pattern and the cycle keeps going on, I don’t know if it’s intentional or does she just enjoy making me suffer?

Gia

Community Answer

If you're pals in real life, ask her why she leaves you on read the next time you see her. If she attempts to avoid answering the question, she may be doing so on purpose, but if she claims she just wants to watch you suffer, she may be toying with you.
