In the digital age there are almost an endless amount of ways to communicate with people Skype, Facebook, Twitter, texting, calling, FaceTime need I go on? We all have seen that movie or two or three where girls run to the phone checking for a dial tone because their guy hasn't called. It's funny and iconic because most of us have at some point been that girl. You're talking to a guy for a few weeks or maybe even a few months. Everything seems fine, you make each other laugh you connect and screeeeeech.... Tires squeal... We have radio silence.
Day 1 you think he's just busy so you pop off a quick text "hope you're having a good day" no response. You are confused and annoyed. Every ding on your phone is like Chinese water torture because it's never him. Day 3 you are pissed, seriously is it that hard to say hi? But you refrain from texting because you don't want to be "that girl". Day 5 comes, now you're freaking out, "Did I do something?" "Is he okay?" You're first instinct is to text with a friendly "Hey hope you're alive over there". I strongly urge you to refrain from that because here is what comes next...
1.) he doesn't respond and you are convinced he's either dead or a huge jerk and your anger kicks in leading to more texting with crazy girl written all over it or 2.) he responds and it's likely something stupid like "no I'm dead" and you're like okay you're stupid. I HATE YOU. LITERALLY. DIE.
So where does this leave us? I am not a believer that women need to wait for the man to make the move.. blah blah blah but when it comes to this bizarre no mans land I strongly recommend refraining from reaching out. Because in the end it likely leaves us lonely and insecure. Also don't stop living your life because some jerk put you on the back burner. Have fun, laugh, and be happy. You're beautiful and amazing and said dude is a total lame ass for not being able to communicate with you. If he's over you he should be man enough to tell you. We are NOT cavemen.
I would love to hear from you my readers! Feel free to comment, share your stories and what you've learned!
