What is up with a guy who doesn't answer a text until the next day? Or wont ever call, only texts? If I call him, he doesn't answer. If I didn't know better, I'd think he was married or something. I know he's not. But in this day and age, everyone looks at their phone, I am not buying the excuse that he didn't notice it. Ok, I guess I needed to rant a bit..

A relationship does not exist via texts alone, and yours apparently doesn't even exist via text if he waits that long to answer. He's just not that into you.

If you've been dating a while, he's trying to do the "slow fade" method of breaking up. He'll keep up the lack of response until you get too fed up with it and break up with him. It's a cowardly way to break up, but lots of people do it.

Yup, what they said - he is just not that into you and does not have the guts to tell you that, so he is hoping you'll eventually go away on your own if he ignores you long enough. When a man is truly interested he'll call and show attention, so don't waste any more of your time on him.

Either he is not into you, or has been reading some bad dating advice lol, and is playing the "wait x amount of time before you respond game" - quit the texting, see what happens. Either he starts communicating with you, or doesn't.

Be mentally prepared that he will not.

"slow fade" method...that's hilarious (i haven't seen this term before, sorry if i think it's funny).

he's trying to figure out how to tell you he's just not that into you...hopefully you'll get the picture and move on.

It's only funny if you haven't experienced it yourself. Then it's hurtful. I hope you don't try it yourself on a gal.

I've gotten a little flakey with my phone since moving. I communicate more through e-mail and I'm not allowed to take my phone into work so I rarely get calls these days so sometimes I'll forget to look at it for days. That being said, there's no one I'm dating right now nor is there anyone out there that I'm trying to. If there was, I'd be more attentive. So that being said, best case scenario he's a TOTAL flake, otherwise see above.
