If they want to, they will

Stop making excuses for that person you’re dating

We’ve all been there.

Maybe they were really swamped at work.

Maybe they’re not a texter.

Maybe they dropped their phone in the toilet and it stopped working.

But in fact, you’ve probably been there yourself, on the giving end of not replying to someone’s text.

Why didn’t you reply?

Were you swamped at work?

Are you not a texter?

Did you drop your phone in the toilet?

Or did you see the text and simply decided to reply later?

Why did you decide to reply later?

Was it because you were not that into them?

Maybe you were very into them but wanted to play hard to get?

Maybe you were swamped at work.

Maybe you’re not a texter.

Just as there could be a million reasons you didn’t reply to someone’s message, there are a million reasons why they didn’t reply to yours.

We are not mind readers, so there is no point guessing.
