Is it normal for a guy who likes a girl to text back slow to her?

Like you can see he has an interest in you when you are around each other. When you give off signals, they don't look away or try to look for the exit. Do guys have a tendency to do this? What does it mean? Are some guys just not into texting that much? Are they oblivious to it? Would they rather hangout with that person more so than text them? And when we do text its not boring or short. Just takes a long time for him to reply back.

If I like her, I’m all over that texting 😏

I'm very much not into texting so that may be a reason for him also. Perhaps he's just thinking of what he wants to write.

Well I don't have a problem doing it either but will respond when I feel like it. In a direct conversation its a lot harder to do that.

@Callmewhatyouwill he's outgoing and doesn't stumble when he talks like he's forcing it. But you do make a good point, hmmm, didn't think about that.

I'm outgoing as well and rarely stumble with words. Texting is just not my preferred method of communication. Also its strange to see your words in writing at least for me.

I can't really speak for him but its a pov that may apply.

If he texts you, that's a good thing.
Most guys will stagger their response time so it appears like they are busy with something else.

Also, if he immediately texts back, then it may imply he expects a text immediately back.

Either he is building up anticipation by making her wait or he he is darned slow with texting.I was the latter but consequently improved my speed

MysteriousRose · 26-30, F

@moonlighting It turns out he likes guys. He said he likes girls but I soon realized he's a lot more into guys and, I need a manly man and he's pretty girly. That was a turn off and I couldn't get comfortable with it. Just not for me :) and that's okay.

Could just be a case of not wanting to be considered overwhelming and needy.

MysteriousRose · 26-30, F

@SW-User Ohh okay. Because he'll tell me to text him and I don't find it needy or anything close to that. It came off to me as I'm interested in you and want to get to know you more.

Treat em mean, keep em keen

MysteriousRose · 26-30, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout no, I don't treat people meanly.

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

@MysteriousRose but it’s not about you . It’s the guy slow replying right?

MysteriousRose · 26-30, F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout yes but treating people meant is not the answer.
