Why does he text me first, I respond...then ignores me?

    It seems like he's playing a silly little game!!! It boosts HIS ego to know you're sitting there waiting on him to text you...OR...he wants to see IF you really care!!! IF this becomes a regular occurrence, i wouldn't be so FAST to respond & let him sit there wondering WHAT you're doing. Either that or respond right away with "busy ttl'. Then WAIT a respectable amount of time & then text him "sry all urs now. what u need?"

    He's not ignoring. He probably feels like texting back fast would seem to desperate. Plus guys can be oblivious about many things. My bf does it all the time then I ignore him and he starts blowing up my phone. Its normal dont stress it. I mean he likes you enough to text you first right .👌

    He's playing a cat and mouse game with you for his amusement. He know EXACTLY what he's doing. Right now he's just waiting on his attention filled "hey did you get my last text"? From you that he's expecting. Don't fall for his childish trap.

    Probably a mass text message, and only replies back to people he wants to talk to after that. Does it just say "hey" ?

    its called baiting. happens all the time. just wait till she replies or you meet her in person...if she doesn't immediately explain the situation, act like you ended the text conversation.

    Well isnt it obvious , hes playing the GAME. Everybody plays the GAME. Hes being childish , a real man who truly loves you doesnt make you wait. (unless the serve is slow)

    Maybe he wants to see how much attention you'll give him, he could be testing you.
