They might be busy with things & not free to respond, even if they have time to read the message. Or considering the appropriate response. Or freaked out & unable to think of the right response.

Or just being a dumbshit, of course :( I know it's damn annoying.

It depends on how much time has passed. The person may have seen the message but isn't in a situation where he / she can reply in an appropriate well thought out way. He / she may be waiting until they have some alone time so they can reply appropriately.

He may just need time to think things over. I know we like things instant these days but we aren't inclined to respond right away just bcoz we got the message. Goes for u too, not a shot.

Sometimes ppl get busy behind the scenes with everyday life and even tho they know they have a text to respond to they cant. Its nothing personal against you. Give it a little while.

I am a person who has to "process" things, it can take me a long time to respond because I have to work through my response in my head. I would assume others are the same.

Like many others said. Maybe they are caught with other messages or other things at that time. But it is always better to say "I will come back later to this". This is the least that should be done.

I'd stop considering what other think or feel and start taking my position and standing by what I believe is correct.

Some people have a crippling anxiety about responding to others, if he's done this before then you can assume this is his case.
